Biden’s DOJ is about to give Biden a pass for violating national security laws: Meanwhile, President Trump was indicted even if he could not have violated—national security laws
American Thinker ^ | 11/18/2023 | Andrea Widburg

Our “Justice” Department is irredeemably corrupt, which is why Vivek Ramaswamy’s idea of firing half the employees there (along with prosecuting those who engaged in illegal acts) is a great idea.

We’ve seen this corruption daily on display with the DOJ’s obsessive focus on destroying Donald Trump to deny Americans their right to vote for the candidate of their choice. Now, news has broken about the flip side: The same DOJ that is prosecuting Trump for allegedly “mishandling” classified documents, even though, as President, it was impossible for him to have done so, will be giving a pass to Joe Biden, who, as both Vice President and Senator manifestly violated national security laws.

In August 2022, the DOJ broke all norms by raiding the home of a former American president, claiming that he had improperly handled documents related to national security. Then, in July 2023, this same DOJ indicted the former president of the United States on 37 counts of mishandling documents that he came into possession of while still president.

I cannot emphasize strongly enough how fraudulent and corrupt these charges are. Unless everyone in the DOJ is a complete moron, which is probably not true, the attorneys there know that Trump could not have violated national security laws because he was president at all relevant times.

I spell out the argument at length here, but here’s the core point: The President of the United States is the ultimate authority when it comes to national security classification (and national security, generally).

Image by Andrea Widburg using AI.

When Trump took possession of documents at issue, he had plenary (that is, absolute) power in that region. No sniveling bureaucrat could override that authority. Nor did he need to follow any procedural rules. He was the big guy.

None of this matters.

Just stay out of their way, with thoughts of honey badgerhood if they mess with you anyway.

Tucker’s interview in Madrid showed that they’re dealing with the very same issue - the laws are for the right, not the left and in Spain it’s totally in your face.

Very frightening to see this because it’s a global movement to destroy the middle class and they’ve mad a ton of headway. The Spanish thankfully are demonstrating in massive numbers.

I recommend watching Tucker’s interview. Riveting and frightening but we need to know.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨

We just received a letter from the Special Counsel to the President making it clear the White House intends to continue obstructing our investigation.

If President Biden has nothing to hide, then he should make his current and former staff available to testify before Congress about his mishandling of classified documents.

Our investigation has unearthed new facts that contradict the White House’s and President Biden’s personal attorney’s narrative of the events. We also need to know if these classified materials aided the Bidens’ global influence peddling enterprise that brought in tens of millions for the Bidens and their associates.

Instead of fulfilling President Biden’s pledge to have the most transparent administration in history, the White House is withholding over 82,000 pages of emails where Joe Biden used a pseudonym when he was Vice President, refuses to provide proof that Joe Biden loaned his brother money, and now seeks to block the Bidens, their associates, and current and former White House staff from testifying before Congress.

This obstruction does not deter us, and we will continue to follow the facts and hold President Biden accountable to the American people.

Sounds like the DOJ gets to whack some of the profits?.

People don’t let people get away with bad things unless they are part of it.
