President Joe Biden’s embarrassment over classified documents found in his former offices is spiraling into a major political crisis that threatens to undermine the case for Donald Trump to be charged for his own hoarding of secret material.
The revelation that another set of secret documents dating from Biden’s time as vice president were found at a second location immediately fueled Republican claims that the ex-president is being treated unfairly as he is investigated by a special counsel over classified information found at Mar-a-Lago....
...Biden’s own sharp criticisms of Trump’s handling of secret intelligence are now coming back to haunt him and opening him up to charges of hypocrisy. While each case will be assessed according to its own legal merits, the possibility that Trump would face criminal action for conduct that will – for many voters – appear to broadly mirror Biden might make any prosecution politically unsustainable....

"opening him up to charges of hypocrisy"? How about a felony for mishandling classified documents?
This whole approach skips over any sort of thought that Biden did a bad thing, Biden is in trouble, and Biden should be charged. No. They aren't even considering such a thing. The whole emphasis is: "Darn! This makes it harder to get Trump."
I see that there is no particular interest on the part of the MSM to hold democrats accountable, for anything, ever.
Don’t worry,Steve...The Big Guy’s “wing man”,Garland,will find a way to charge DJT while explaining away his boss’s actions as being “entirely different”.
Open Biden up? This is only the latest case of the left screeching about something Trump did, allegedly, to harm national security that theyve actually been caught red handed doing...whether its colluding with Russia, quid pro quo with Ukraine, cheating in elections...the entirety of democratic party are flaming hypocrites.
Biden broke the law, Trump didn’t!!!!!!
When is the FBI going to raid Biden’s houses and offices, trash the place, go through the First Lady’s underwear drawer, take personal letters, and alert their buds in the “news” media so they can get such wonderful pics of dozens of heavily armed FBI agents invading a President’s home before undertaking their “raid”? Of course, never.
Biden may be in trouble with Rat Party Headquarters but certainly *not* with the Department of Just Us. This might be used by Rat Party Headquarters to keep The Big Guy off the ballot next year. I wouldn’t bet a nickel either way on him being the nominee.
It’ll happen when Banjo Joe calls for it. IIRC he went on record yesterday saying that DJT should still be prosecuted but Joe’s documents are “entirely different”.
So much for that New Lefty CNN Heads Fake PR nonsense
about a New Unbiased Site .
The Former Producer of the Far Left John Steward Lebowhatever show is a Lying Left Wing Conman.
And the Cnn lefty writer is sad now .
Right on cue, the AP has a long story out today about classified document scandals. The point being that it has become common place now it being so difficult to keep these documents secure. Kind of like the “everyone does it” defense with the one proviso that what Trump did was egregious.
“personal aides doing the searching are not disclosing ...”
I don’t understand how/why the existence of these improperly stored documents was made public at all.
Someone who saw them chose to tell others of their existence, and the knowledge got to the press.
Were Biden enemies snooping around in his old haunts?
What a strange headline. How about holding Democrats accountable?
Are Biden finger prints on the documents. How about Hunters?
Biden’s document scandal makes the entire Trump media narrative look like a lie.
Think the people have forgotten how Trump was impeached for questioning Joe Biden involvement in getting a prosecutor fired that was looking into Burisma?
Get a clue CNN, you look stupid here. Laptop denial, Corruption Denial, now Denial on the importance of Ukraine and Burisma documents illegally kept by the former Vice Potus.
Biden’s documents were “found”. Trump was “hoarding”.
I hate these people.

“President Biden’s embarrassment over classified documents”
“Trump to be charged for his own hoarding of secret material”
Same event and yet two very different thoughts on the event.
Damn... even for CNN this writeup is extreme propaganda.
What’s bad for the goose is bad for the gander.
