They knew the jig was up. If they were not trying to cover it up, they would have revealed it right away. How much lying do they have to do before you can see the truth?
They gave Trump 18 months to return the secret documents in his possession and he ran out of time. It was also 6 months before any election.
You are the one doing the lying.
Let's also not forget that is basically DOJ policy.
as low as Trump has gone over the years it might not be to far out of the line of thinking
The reason they were in his possession really doesn't matter. Apparently the Archivist didn't have a record of the documents which is odd. Biden had to have been involved with the documents for them to have been in his home and really in his Penn Biden office as well.. He's breaking all the rules of how to protect classified documents, not in a SCIF, not properly locked away and protected. They seem to have been missing for 6 years. Six years isn't by accident. I'd love to know why the archivist didn't have this on record or did they and didn't want to cause a stink.
Or for anyone, much less a slime like Trump. Why would a person refuse to return the materials for 16 months?
Are you telling us that he did not know he had classified docs in his possession?
You do know that classified docs are not supermarket flyers. No one delivers classified docs to people's doorstep weekly.
That seems kind of likely. Yep.
How could he not know he had classified docs in his possession?? Are you saying someone planted them?? Or, he cannot remember them.
Because he either forgot or didn't know in the first place.
maybe for you. I don't believe it doesn't matter. How can a regular folk have classified docs in his possession and it is fine? You better google the court cases for retaining classified docs.
So it is forgotten or didn't know. That is not the same.
A decent question. It appears waiting 16 months to do anything about it is the correct response. Right?
Yes, that was implied by my use of the word, "or". Yes, you are keeping up. Good job.
The btm line is that he cannot have any classified docs in his possession when he is not the VP.
Oh, please do tell. What classified documents did then-Pres. Trump actually declassify? I'm sure you wouldn't mind sharing that information with us since those documents are now "unclassified". Where can one find this elusive memo so that one can perhaps read it for him/herself? When was it dated? Was it signed? What originating agencies were privy to it? Perhaps the public can submit a FOIA request to obtain a copy.
I understand Biden's apparently had the documents for 6 years, but my point to you was in rebuttal to your claim that the government was doing nothing concerning this matter, that they "left Biden alone" which is very untrue and far from explaining why Biden's not getting as much heat over having classified documents compared to Trump.
First off, those weren't excuses. Those where actually things Trump did in an all out effort to keep the classified documents he had from being turned over to the FBI and from potentially being held criminally liable for wrongful possession and obstructing their return. As far as your petty argument about "allowing" unauthorized people to have access to the documents Biden had: 1) you don't know that the document were compromised anymore than we know the documents Trump had were; 2) that's rather bold of you to inject the GOP's new scapegoat into the issue when Ivanka, Don Jr and Eric could walk about MAL all day any day they so desire and walk straight into daddy's office and see anything they want. Hell, for all we know, Trump's kids were probably seen on security footage entering the SCIF. I think you might want to walk that one back alittle considering the 3:1 odds there.
It might make no sense, but that's the law. Presidents do not have unlimited powers.
Makes no difference. The law is the law and no POTUS has unlimited powers-especially when it relates to extremely sensitive nuclear secrets.
