The differences between the Trump and Biden documents cases

Facts are Facts!

A timeline of the investigation into Trump’s Mar-a-Lago docs

Now that Donald Trump has been indicted for these, please check out my new page on this topic,

Three Trump lawyers have appeared before grand jury in documents inquiry

“Attorneys were involved in compiling subpoenaed documents and have searched Mar-a-Lago”

Can you believe this?

Trump used classified folder as bedroom lamp shade ‘so he could sleep at night,’ attorney says

“Former President Donald Trump’s reportedly used a “classified” folder as a lamp shade next to his bed to help him sleep at night, according to his lawyer.

During an appearance on CNN Sunday, Trump’s attorney Timothy Parlatore revealed the “Classified Evening Summary” folder was found it in the peculiar location after being subpoenaed by the Department of Justice (DOJ).

“He has one of those landline telephones next to his bed, and it has a blue light on it, and it keeps him up at night. So he took the manilla folder and put it over, so it would keep the light down, so he could sleep at night,” Parlatore said.”

And now this?

Biden Gets Assist on Fox News as Karl Rove Busts Out White Board To Explain Why Trump’s Classified Docs Issue Is Worse

“KARL ROVE: Well, there are differences, but you can’t make this stuff up. But there are differences.

For example, how many documents in Biden’s case, there appear to be about 10. In the case of President Trump, hundreds.

How did they get there? We don’t yet know how the documents got to the Biden office connected with his activities on behalf of the University of Pennsylvania. We know that President Trump ordered the removal of the documents to Mar-a-Lago.

How responsive were they? When that when when the Biden people found out about it, they called immediately, called the appropriate authorities and turned them over. We spent a year and a half watching the drama unfold in Mar-a-Lago, and it had to end in a police search to recover the documents.

But still, despite the differences, this is going to create lots of headaches for the Department of Justice in deciding how to handle President Trump’s issues, because now they have an issue that, in, at least in the minds of a lot of ordinary Americans, are going to be conflated as being roughly the same.”

Uh-Oh!!!

Irony tends to be Ironic:

As president, Trump approved a law increasing penalties for mishandling classified info. It could come back to bite him.

• “Donald Trump in 2018 signed a sweeping national security bill into law.
• The bill increased punishments for those who mishandle classified information.
• The measure is of note after the Mar-a-Lago raid, thought to be connected to government documents.”
