I could see Biden doing this intentionally to downplay the seriousness of Trump's crimes. He's all about trying to bring us back to the good ol' days of the 1990's, which means we need to move past this whole "Republicans committed crimes and need to be prosecuted" fad that Democrats are going through. It's a fad that can lead to a lot of instability, and that's bad for America(n corporations). Now that these documents have been "found," it is incredibly unlikely trump will be charged for stealing classified documents. Even if the situations are very different, they're similar enough in the minds of most Americans for it to look suspicious, so this gives them the excuse they need to back away from charging trump.
Biden's lawyers found the documents and alerted the national archives.
Trump was asked to return classified documents by the national archives, and refused. Instead he sued to obstruct. Then continually lied about having more documents.. >

He still has some. >

Yep, Trump's lawyers don't even believe him and hired more people to find any remaining ones he took. >

Seems pretty obvious but, I guess we gotta break out the crayons for the Fox News crowd. >

Well CNN is also trying to pump this up so they can say “See! We do both sides!!” >

New CEO is so fucking thirsty for the old idiot ratings group. >

It's all they have left...sort of like AM radio after FM went pretty much all music. Music left AM and now caters to a mostly older male conservatuve crowd...mostly.  
Who under 30-40 watches CNN on cable? >

30 is not old like if you are 30 you still have more than half your life infront of you 40 is where you start to get old. >

Right so people who are older than 30-40 range are the ones most likely to still watch CNN on cable. Never said 30 was old, but it's not like they are teens or in their twenties either. >

I am wiling to bet that the documents found have a record at the national archives as being sent to him for research and that they forgot to return them. 
Lets watch this play out... >

They also seem to not understand that Trump wasn't raided by the FBI because he had classified documents. He was raided because he refused to return them after the national archives contacted them multiple times with list of documents they knew he had. The raid was the only option left to retrieve back the docs. >

And the “raid” was the execution of a search warrant issued by the courts, based on probable cause that the documents were still being held there illegally. 
Calling it a raid makes it sound like some rogue infiltration of his home. More right wing language spin. >

The Rebublicans are going to use this Biden document snafu as a weapon.  I just know it.
Sigh.
Republican impeachment attempt against Biden number one incoming in 3 ... 2 ... 1. >

Fox is already trying to spin it as "the media is downplaying this" while completely disregarding a multitude of factors that make this a non-issue. >

For starters, TFG's stolen confidential/secret docs allegedly got multiple CIA informants/operatives tortured and killed.
So much so that the CIA issued a memo concerning the extremely high amount of them being tortured/killed and they couldn't figure out how they were being outted.  
Now we know. >

I mean, it could have been anyone who had access to the full 'compartmentalized' list of intelligence assets in Russia.  Also Trump requested such a list a few days after meeting with Putin.  But who knows how they got it? /s >

They found some.  They weren't aware they were there.  They notified the National Archives.  They will return them.
Trump TOOK the documents.  He KNEW he had them.  The National Archives KNEW he had them.  They LIED and said they gave them all back.  The National Archives FOUND documents STILL MISSING.  THEY HAD TO GO TO MAR-A-LARGO AND RETRIEVE THEM!!!! FROM A STORAGE GARAGE AND HIS DESK, MIXED WITH MAGAZINES AND DRECK. 
There's a difference, I believe. >

Trump is using the false equivalence narrative to the fullest >

Oh my god, for the last time, trump is always Goofus. Anytime there’s a wrong way that’s the way Trump is going to do it. >

*small fix

Oh my god, for the last time, trump is always Goofus. Anytime there’s a criminal way that’s the way Trump is going to do it. >

Too bad you can’t indict a sitting president. You can a former president though. >

Both are too old to be handling classified documents.  Can we get a president without dementia? >

According to Trump, all Biden has to do is declare the documents declassified and the problem should be fixed...right? Isn't that Trump's assertion...that a president has that power? >

The main difference is liberal hypocrisy. >

Yes it is different in so far as what content the materials consisted of. But it's still classified materials that were illegal to have just like Trump's documents. Treat them the same. >

You're leaving out the part where Biden's team discovered the documents and immediately turned them over to the proper authority while Trump spent a year denying he had any and then having them found by the FBI. So it's not really the same. At all. >

If someone robs a bank, forgets about the money, then turns the money in a few years later should they be arrested for robbing the bank?
I get that he volunteered to return their docs, but he still took them. >

That’s a really bad analogy.
A better analogy would be, if someone checks out a book from the library and forgets to return it for six years, should they be prosecuted for theft when they discover the book and return it? >

Remove him from office. Then arrest trump make an example of these two. Our president is supposed to be a higher standard. If you’re forgetting documents or trying to steal them to sell to the highest bidder there is no excuse for this type of carelessness to be allowed >

Remove him from office before an investigation is even completed? What if the classified docs were out on loan from Archives? What if Biden's team had received assurances from Archives that Biden was authorized to possess and view them? What if the docs had already been declassified but an archivist failed to remove classified markings from them?  Let's at least conduct a proper investigation first. >

Honestly I don’t really care. In my opinion as an independent I think that this would be a big ole reset button for the country. We could say look we sniffed wrong doing and we dealt with it. I voted for Biden but this is a liability/lends credibility to the crimes trump committed. I’d sacrifice Biden’s near end career to prevent another trump
