Okay. Let’s do this. Village idiots hour, at the GOP, again.
In this post, the malevolent moron Johnson comically tries to make the instant return by Team Biden of a handful of documents (within 24 hours of being alerted to their existence!) equivalent to lying for 18 months, and withholding thousands of Top Secret documents, down in a basement at Mar-A-Lago.
Uh-huh.
Also, Biden (of course) dutifully complied with a DoJ policy not to discuss an investigation that was ongoing, since it could have at least arguably tipped off the staffers that might — emphasis, might — have been negligent or worse, in this matter. That explains the silence since early November: Mr. Biden complied immediately with all applicable law, and all DoJ investigation rules and procedures.
So shut it, Scott.
“But wait! There’s more!” Note that Trump flat out stole Top Secret documents, and flat out refused to return them until a raid was needed to get them back. Now note that yesterday Trump (on his dying social media site, no less) argued that this immediate return is something Mr. Biden should be PROSECUTED for. [Where irony goes… to die.]
Hilarious.
Yet Jim Trusty, Tangerine’s lawyer in the thousands of pages of Top Secrets docs cases, just three months ago… called Trump’s thefts just an “overdue library book or two“, before Judge Cannon, in Fort Pierce, Florida.
Further, he argued that NARA cannot make any criminal referral, and that DoJ DHS cannot prosecute any putative violation of NARA statute or rule.
So now, when Biden seems to have immediately complied with laws that Trump’s team (Trusty, primarily!) argues can never be the basis of criminal charges against a former CoC… (even after 18 months of lying about having docs) he calls for — yup, an indictment.
Gee Scott — it is just so, so precious that not one word of your post in any manner mentions any of this.
Predictable — and charming, to be sure.
Out.
