“I really think we're comparing apples and oranges here.”
Nope, more like comparing red delicious and golden delicious.
"The only real comparison is that they both violated the law by being in possession of classified material they were not supposed to have. No debate there, but that's where the equivalency ends."
Yup, they both vviolated the law.
“Violating the law is one thing; being held criminally responsible for doing so is a legal matter, and a lot of it hinges on things like intent, magnitude, cooperation with authorities, etc.”
Obviously you have not been schooled in the handling of classified information and the repercussions associated with mis-handling.
“In Biden's case, there were about 2 dozen documents found, some with classified markings. It's unclear (to me, at least) if any were marked "Top Secret". Biden's attorneys immediately contacted the National Archives and turned the documents over to them the next day.”
More than 2 dozen THAT WE KNOW OF, and he turned the documents over to his lawyers, huh. Did these lawyers have a security clearance AND a need to know what was in the documents? I think not, so that’s another sloppy handling on Bidens part.
“While I agree that both Biden and Trump violated the same laws and deserve to be investigated for doing so, it seems to me that the Biden incident will turn out to be a nothing-burger because of his willingness to immediately cooperate with NARA (before NARA even realized that he had the documents). Politically, I'm sure that will not sit well with the Trump cultists in Congress.”
Tell this to the guy who took a selfie inside a nuclear submarine. He was drummed out of the navy with a dishonorable discharge and is still in Leavenworth, KS.
Just another prime example of your right = bad, left = good. Wake up both sides are guilty as sin on this one.
