"Obviously you have not been schooled in the handling of classified information and the repercussions associated with mis-handling."
Whatever you learned in the military does not necessarily apply to civilians. I frankly don't care what the military rules are. In civilian life, prosecutors have leeway to consider things like intent and cooperation with authorities as they build a case.
"More than 2 dozen THAT WE KNOW OF, and he turned the documents over to his lawyers, huh."
You have this really bad habit of reading stuff that isn't there. I never said that Biden discovered the documents and turned them over to his lawyers. What I SAID was that his lawyers notified NARA that the documents were found and arranged to turn them over. Your assumption that Biden had them and turned to over to his lawyers has no basis in fact.
"Just another prime example of your right = bad, left = good."
Yet again, reading stuff that isn't there. At no point did I say that what Biden did was good, but what Trump did was bad. What I said was that there is a huge difference in the two cases. Biden VOLUNTARILY turned over documents that were found to be in his possession (documents that NARA was unaware were missing for over 6 years). Trump refused to turn over a much larger number of documents, lied about how many he had, and went to court to demand that they be returned to him because he considered them to be his property.
Yes, they both violated the law (which I've already said), but in prosecuting the violation the question of criminal intent comes into play - and what screams possible criminal intent more than resisting the return of something you have no right to possess?
Based on your comments, I can only assume that you see absolutely no difference between the two incidents. Perhaps it's you that should wake up and take a look at the facts.
