    Original Title -
    Special counsel investigating Joe Biden’s handling of classified material is not expected to bring charges

    SNIP
    Special counsel Robert Hur is not expected to charge anyone in connection with the mishandling of classified documents at two locations connected to President Joe Biden, two sources close to the investigation told CNN.

    Hur and his team are compiling a detailed report on their year-long probe that is expected to be critical of Biden and his staff for the way they handled sensitive materials. The report is expected to go into significant detail about what the special counsel’s office found in its investigation.

    Investigators on Hur’s team have told other Justice Department officials that they hope to have the report completed by the end of the year, but that timeline could slide.

    Buckling in awaiting the avalanche of posters who simply don't understand the concept of equivalence...

    Obviously, there needs to be a process where nobody leaves any job at the WH with any papers without some sort of screening/review....

    Any other ideas to prevent the accidental removal of classified documents??

    As it should be for those that fully cooperated with NA and DOJ...willful criminal intent was an is not present. In addition, no need to appoint a Florida judge, Judge Canon, on 16th of Jan 2021, 4 days before Trump was evicted from the WH, to be in the tank for him :)

    The National Archives didn't even know Biden had the documents.

    Then Biden and his lawyers did the right thing all around once the docs were found, fess up and turn them over.

    Biden broke the law by taking the documents, to begin with.

    Of course nothing's going to happen to him. Just like nothing happened to Hillary for obviously doing her best to keep an unsecured server that she was not authorized to have and for deleting 30,000 subpoenaed emails.

    If anyone doesn't realize that there's two sets of standards by now then they never will

    Always a pleasure to read MAGa talking about things they know nothing about.

    Neither of you have read the indictment against Trump regarding the secret documents he stole and the systematic obstuction he made to prevent the National Archives from recovering them.

    Biden and Pence cooperated fully with the authorities and didn't even know they had these documents in their possession.

    And so did Trump. Here's the relevant legal test......was it shared, monetized and/or was national security actually compromised. Look up the word: nuance.

    Amazingly, it took until post #7 (of posters I don't ignore) to find somebody who met my OP low bar for not understanding the situation....

    Strange how you say this and then follow up with:

    So you are admitting there is no double standard because the events are not similar.

    The Biden administration acknowledged and fully cooperated. The trump administration did the opposite

    Actually, it appears that Biden got a free pass. This won't bode well for Smitty, if the Equal Protection Clause is applied.

    Always a pleasure to see bidets erasing half a post because they can't acknowledge the truth.

    Trump should have just put all of his classified documents in the form of emails and then just deleted them all when they wanted them.

    It works just fine for a Democrat

    How did the National Archives know to the page exactly what Trump had, but had no idea that Biden possessed classified documents for 14 years? Interesting. Yes?

    And did he KNOWINGLY break the law and when he found the docs what did he and pence actually do compared to Agent Orange? Agent Orange willfully by knowingly taking the docs, then he did not return them and when to the extent to obfuscate and hide then while trying to destroy evidence of such.......see where this is going WBK, Trump did this to himself because he believed he could get away with it and he thought he is above the law. Not honest Joey....he fessed up and turned them over acknowledging his mistake. :D

    He’d have to delete them before they wanted them.

    The law doesn't require intent. Gross negligence also applies.

    Well, we KNOW Biden is above the law. Don't we?

    Show us how that made a difference?

    What did the level of classification have to do with it?
