The Real Differences Between the Biden
and Trump Document Trove

Original Article

Posted By: Moritz55, 1/26/2023 8:59:34 AM

Former President Donald Trump for now certainly seems to have had more documents labeled "classified" at Mar-a-Lago in Florida than did President Joe Biden at his various homes in Delaware. Yet otherwise, the comparisons between the two cases, contrary to popular punditry, hardly favor Biden. First, a stranger would face a far greater challenge entering a post-presidential Mar-a-Lago than a pre-presidential Biden home, office, or garage -- or who knows where? Secret service agents and private security were stationed at Mar-a-Lago. Prior to the 2020 presidential election they were not at citizen Biden's various troves for most of 2017-2020, much less prior to 2009.

The biggest difference is that Biden’s son had daily physical access to state secrets while he was on the Chinese payroll. and is now receiving huge sums for “art” making him the highest paid artist per painting in America.

The questions that beg to be answered are who found the documents and why were they looking for them now? Apparently, they were right there in plain sight and no one questioned that until now? This whole thing stinks to high heaven as most anything does to do with the Bidens. Are the Bidens trying to out-Kennedy the Kennedys?

Every major factor is different including the fact that Trump is a smart, honest man and Brandon is a dimwitted, corrupt dunce.

This article is about the weakest - - and dopiest - - thing Hanson has ever written. There is one difference - - and only one difference. Trump was president - - and Biden was not. The Constitution specifically states that the President - - the person - - is the entire Executive Branch of the federal government. And that applies to all presidents - - whether it's Trump, 0bama, Taft, Cleveland or Van Buren. All of those departments and bureaucracies exist to provide him with the information he needs to make decisions. And ONLY the president can make executive branch decisions. He can overrule any decision made by anyone else who works in the executive branch. Those "classified" documents exist only to inform the president. He has total ownership and control over all of them. He can classify - - or declassify - - any executive branch document at any time - - and in any way. There is no "procedure" that he has to follow. The documents are his - - and his alone. And no one else - - not the vice president - - or any of the cabinet secretaries - - or any of the bureaucracy - - has any power at all to control the nature of executive branch documents. It is illegal for them to do so - - without explicit permission from the president. That's all anyone needs to know. The president IS the executive branch - - and everyone else is NOT!

FTA: "Did Hunter Biden ever consult or view classified documents while living in a home with them? Will there be fingerprint or DNA tests on the documents? If Hunter consulted any of these classified documents, then the Biden presidency is finished." Hunter Biden's 1,300 word, 22 point email written to Devon Archer read like a high level briefing. Two months prior the junior Biden had been expelled from the Navy for failing a drug test with cocaine in his system. I would bet that there is a corresponding document making the same points found in the email. If that was a top secret document, both Bidens will be implicated. Joe (and Dr. Jill) will have to go, disgraced and despised.

FTA: "Fourth, Trump is certainly right that as president he had a far more substantial claim of declassification rights than did Biden, who took the papers out either as a senator or vice president. Re: #5 - VDH's other nine points, contrasting differences between the cases of Trump and Biden, vis-a-vis possession of documents marked "classified," despite your denial, are valid, and as such, those points vividly highlight the current administration's disparate treatment of a former president and a sitting leftist buffoon.

McCarthy blasts Biden, Schumer over omnibus:

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., tore into his Democratic rivals and Republicans who helped pass the omnibus package, saying President Biden appears to believe there is not a cent of waste in current government spending. On "Life, Liberty & Levin," host Mark Levin asked McCarthy whether the Democrats' playbook for fending off conservative Republicans' calls for budget cuts is to add hundreds of billions of dollars in new debt, then accuse the GOP of trying to shut down the government when they advocate for clawing back some of the new spending. "That's exactly the trick," McCarthy said. "But you've got to think about too, who are the senators who

On Christmas Eve, members of Shenzhen Holy Reformed Church, who fled China several years ago, had their celebrations abruptly cut short. The congregation had initially sought refuge in South Korea, but was denied a haven there after three years of immigration court proceedings. The next port of call was Thailand, which they hoped would be a peaceful, if temporary, home before being granted sanctuary in the United States. But on December 24, the landlord for the apartments where the 64 church members – roughly half adults and half children – were staying suddenly informed them that Thai police had demanded copies of all their passports, IDs, and visas.

On President Biden’s first day in office, then-White House press secretary Jen Psaki vowed that the administration would “bring transparency and truth back to government.” What a useless promise. The Biden administration has turned out to be one of the most opaque, secretive and nontransparent in decades, creating the overt appearance of impropriety. After Republicans won control the House of Representatives and promised to investigate Mr. Biden’s son Hunter’s overseas business dealings, among others, the White House told incoming House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer and House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan to pound sand.

The release of the videos from the lethal arrest of Tyre Nichols, 29, is shocking for its lack of professional tactics and procedures. This looks like adrenaline-filled rage … from the officers. At certain points, it is the suspect who sounds to be trying to de-escalate the situation. It is unfortunately not unique. In physical encounters, officers can escalate violence and lose control with lethal consequences. The footage helps establish a number of legal points. The force is clearly and undeniably excessive.

It’s always the way with political memoirs that everyone sifts them for the high-grade gossip. So it is with Mike Pompeo’s memoir, “Never Give an Inch” released this week. Media reports have understandably focused on the former CIA director and Secretary of State’s opinions on Donald Trump, John Bolton, Kim Jong-Un and a bunch of other folks. But as is often the case, one of the biggest stories in the book has so far been overlooked. When Pompeo was Secretary of State he took probably the most hawkish view any American official has yet taken towards the Communist Party of China. In a speech in October 2019, he told an audience

As a white child, I not only grew up in abject poverty and found myself homeless often, but also living in majority black projects from time to time as my family was evicted from 34 homes by the time I was 17 years of age. With some of those moves, I was either the only white child in my class or one of the few. During those years, single black moms working two or three jobs to support their children while sacrificing their own happiness not only became my heroes, but enduring role models.

Back in 2016, with a presidential election underway, I made the case that Senate Republicans should force Democrats to live under their own power-hungry rules. They should do so, I said, by applying the Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer standards to the newly-created Supreme Court vacancy, following the death of the late great Justice Antonin Scalia. Then-Majority Leader Mitch McConnell did precisely that, holding the seat open until after the election, paving the way for President Trump's trio of superb SCOTUS nominations. The Democrats got red in the face and stomped their feet, but after decades of hyper-partisan, unilateral escalations in the judicial confirmation wars,

The ultra-strong opioid being cut with virtually every street drug in the country killed a record 75,000 Americans in 2021, the equivalent of 1,500 lives lost every week.  Fentanyl - which is 100 times more potent than morphine - started off as a cheap and potent alternative to heroin and was used by only the most hardcore drug addicts in the US, who mainly injected it or smoked it through a pipe.
