Seriously, this document issue with Biden makes Trump look all the worse..

[Peacetrain]

Bidens lawyers as soon as they found the documents, informed the White House (who to be honest could have just said, bring them back to the White House is he were a Trump like character and no one would have known diddly squat).. but they did the right thing.. sent them back through the right channels, informed the right people.. did NOT spend a year in the courts trying to hide hundreds of classified documents.. (which makes those empty highly classified folders even more incriminating..

This all makes Trump and his allies who tried to help him hide it look all the more guilty..

1. The fact that we didn't hear about it pre-election

Shows that Garland was at least following the "no political investigation pre election" rules. And I think because it wasn't leaked from TFG's ratfuckers indicates they weren't necessarily responsible.

12. Yes, and also the main reason we knew about the investigation into Dumps' stolen files is because

of the huge fuss he MADE PUBLICLY about it.

2. Well there's this

THE DOCUMENTS were PLANTED

That's what the U.S. attorney is investigating.

3. Only if you're dealing in facts, which is largely irrelavent to public perception

The opportunity for false equivalence has been provided, and that will reign, regardless of pesky factual details, wherever it is convenient for it to do so.

4. Not if we keep pushing up the dirt on it..

The other side can lie with impunity (think Santos).. we just cannot loose our energy and get tired.. we have to keep pushing back the realities.. As long as I can remember, our side tends to get tired of repeating .. and we just have too..

8. We're definitely worse off if we don't work to get the facts out there...

...so we should definitely do that, but it only keeps things from getting worse than they are. For the crowd that believes (or benefits from pretending that they believe) the 2020 election was "stolen" from Trump, and Democrats are blood-drinking pedophiles, this Biden documents story gives them every thing they'd want, and factual details will never matter.

The only moveable people are a bunch of wishy-washy low-information voters, and it is important to try to sway these people because we have so many close elections where we depend on them.

I made my comment because the title of the OP, "Seriously, this document issue with Biden makes Trump look all the worse" is only true for those who either already know the Biden situation is not as bad as what Trump did, and a small portion of the population beyond that.

5. We have to keep this the message, control the narrative. Keep showing the contrast cause the media

wants to go with a misleading headline.

[Peacetrain]

6. Amen to that!!!!!!

[Chakaconcarne]

7. Republicans really don't care about Biden's documents....

Though they're parading about otherwise.....

They're looking for openings in how it's handled, so they can sell defunding the DOJ and FBI.

and....if they can tie up the DOJ and FBI with a bunch of BS, all the better for them.

9. Any chance these were planted there?

Seems like an awfully long time for the National Archives not to have requested their return.

[Peacetrain]

10. Honest to God, we have been wondering the same thing

[Bianca Giardina]

13. "Return"? National Archives never had possession of them.

Biden never handed them over to anyone. And the people at the National Archives don't have knowledge of documents until they get them -- it's not like they have a checklist like, "Okay we're waiting on these documents."

[GreenWave]

14. I am honored to be your first post.

So these never made it there in the first place. That is good to know. So they were not AWOL.

15. Trump has been saying for weeks when are the feds going to search

Joe Biden properties. A SS agent was bitten by Joe Biden's dog in the White House and the agent was not suppose to be in the private living area. What was he doing there?

[GreenWave]

16. I had a brilliant history professor in college.

He said you cannot rely upon documents only because the art of forgery was mastered. He was talking about the second world war. Undoubtedly the art of forgery has gotten even better.

So we need to know the topic of these documents and/or who reviewed them.

[LymphocyteLover]

11. Agreed

[fescuerescue]

17. Trumps team probably planted those at both locations

The Trump investigation should double down and find out who on Trumps team had access to the Biden docs.

[SYFROYH]

18. I disagree. It helps Trump politically.

Unless something else comes up on Trump like distributing the documents to others.
