    He spoke to the SC doing the investigation. It's essentially a yes/no question. We might find that out when the MAGA-discredited Hur Report comes out...

    Notice how they “pre-discredit” even GOP investigative reports when they have an inkling that the report won’t be to their liking?

    One of my favorites was “do you think that he packed the documents himself?!”

    It's ridiculous to go after any POTUS over this

    Should have known better. He was a senator. You don’t really “accidentally” take SCIF stuff and hold onto it for years and years. Either he was grossly negligent with classified info or completely incompetent in dealing with it. I think he should have known better.

    So we do have two tiers of justice in this country?

    Laws that apply to everyone else but don't apply to the President?

    Huh, Biden is POTUS. His docs were from when he was VP

    Both roles see lots of classified material. This is political witch hunting against both Trump and Biden

    It's not a witch hunt in the case of Trump

    He had the documents
    He was not authorized to have the documents
    He refused to turn the documents over.

    Those three elements add up to a violation of 18 USC 793(e)

    My apologies, I thought you were talking about Trump. My mistake. But Trump has no excuse. Not after ignoring a subpoena, lying about having turned everything over, and trying to destroy evidence.

    My point stands; political witch hunt from both sides.

    Why should a former president be above the law?

    Not a "witch hunt" when you find actual witches.

    Trump had the documents
    Trump was not authorized to have the documents
    Trump refused to turn the documents over.

    These are three established facts.
    These facts, taken together, add up to a violation of 18 USC 793(e)

    Trump faces 31 charges under that statute.

    Not only refused to turn them over, but obstructed attempts to retrieve them by lying about having already turned them over, hiding them, and trying to erase video evidence. It's dumber than a box of hair to claim that what Biden did was the same.

    Which is why he wasn’t charged until after he refused to comply with the subpoena

    He isn't POTUS, and had every opportunity to give the government documents back. He is not above the law.

    You guys REALLY need to stop emulating the BIG guy and misuse the term "witch hunt". Even using the informal/moden definition (a campaign directed against a person or group holding unorthodox or unpopular views), IT DOESN't APPLY HERE.

    Be your own man!

    Now the charges have been reduced to petty theft!

    It is where classified documents are supposed to be stored. He would not have been allowed to remove them from the SCIF and take them wherever he took them that day, during his time as senator. Gets a little murkier with the time as VP.

    Actually, a SCIF is where the most highly classified docs need to be viewed.... SCIF not required for all classified documents...

    https://www.poynter.org/fact-checki...,secret/sensitive compartmented information.”

    Ergo, we might be able to assume even before the Hur report that Bidens docs are of lower level classifications...

    It's absolutely a witch hunt in the case of Trump. The lefts fascism in attacking a political opponent is the worst crime in our lifetimes. It's genuine fascism all to the applause of those accepting it
