So Biden "removed HIGHLY CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS from the WHITE HOUSE". Maybe it is time to set a PRECEDENT. Charge and convict TRUMP and BIDEN. Levy charges based on each individuals level of wrongdoing. Make it so that neither one can ever hold public office again. Tired of the Trump and Biden Classified Documents issue and the Security risks it presents. Get rid of BOTH OF THEM. We can eliminate the finger pointing once and for all and kill two birds with one stone.
Something needs to be done to fix this BS and fix it so it doesn't happen again. These guys need to go away and STAY AWAY. This type of problem CAN BE FIXED...but it needs to be UNBIASED AND FOCUSED. Thoughts? Yey/Nay? Why? Alternate approach?

A recent report on NPR talked about the issue of 'classified documents.' Millions of documents get classified and some start out as normal documents and then get classified later. Thousands of government workers create these documents and keeping up with all the paperwork has become a monumental task. As usual, it's not a cut and dry issue. The real issue is that Biden and his staff are corroborating completely and POS tRump kept documents that were highly classified and that he should not have brought home. Afterward, he let others see them and refused to hand them over. This is a B & White issue and we all know who the black is.

The issues with our elected officials goes way deeper than the documents problem.

True true but we have to start someplace. Problem is ... It is all talk and rhetoric. Time to drop a freight train on specific individuals in Washington and send a clear message.

@phoenixone1 Sadly the only thing that has trickled down with the GQP are bad policies, corruption, lies and cruelty. So we must work from the top down.

They could be cell mates, wouldn’t that be awesome……

You've got that pesky old presumption of innocence hurdle to get over first. That will establish the facts upon which we can assess the level of culpability. But I take you to mean that there are some presidential infractions from which one should not be able to be redeemed. I agree and I agree this is one.

They are both guilty ... One who ABSOLUTELY knew better and has been in Public service for over 50 years...the other is a nothing but at 2nd rate THUG and a TRAITOR to boot who LOVES to break the law...time to bring his fake orange ass to justice.

And THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES NEED a thorough housecleaning. Whoever was in charge needs to be FIRED...RULES need to be set in place and FOLLOWED. This is BULLSHIT...peoples LIVES ARE AT STAKE....Our countries NATIONAL SECURITY IS AT STAKE. Personally I think Biden should RESIGN...He is nothing more than a HIPPOCRIT. Give Kamala the reigns...give her a chance.

@phoenixone1 They are not guilty by a legal standard until they've been proven so, having had the opportunity to defend themselves. It's a Constitutional right, and a damn important one. A trial will flush out how the documents were removed from their proper place and who exactly was involved.

@LovinLarge not saying presumption of innocence or legal rights are to be breached...BUT I AM saying they BOTH broke the LAW and should be brought to justice. And the mere fact that it is possible to remove TOP SECRET DOCUMENTS and STORE THEM IN YOUR COUNTRY CLUB or GARAGE??? Something is wrong with our SYSTEM if this is happening...obviously nobody is taking ownership of the documents when they leave the storage facility...REALLY??? I worked in a Govt funded Research Lab and we had to maintain every piece of documentation ... Or WE LOST OUR CONTRACTS...and if it was with CRIMINAL INTENT...WE WOULD HAVE GONE TO JAIL. Seems the higher you go ... The less the rules apply. Or there are no rules. Either scenario needs to be FIXED.

@phoenixone1 i know you mean well, but I"m asking you to consider this. You don't know for a fact that either one of them broke the law. You have no firsthand information on which to arrive at that conclusion. You are relying on Information that you can not be certain is entirely accurate We don't get to decide In advance of a trial if the defendant is guilty. Until the evidence has been examined and cross-examined, we do not know what the relevant facts actually are.

Yes, there appears to be a real problem here but must proceed cautiously through the evidentiary process to establish guilt. For one thing, the Biden circumstances appear to be much less serious than the Trump circumstances and they've been handled a lot better. But knowledge and participation in both cases still has to be established beyond a reasonable doubt in the criminal context and it most certainly has not.

@LovinLarge I completely understand where you are coming from. I also understand that there is a distortion of facts because of Media bias. I also know that it is a FACT that TOP SECRET DOCUMENTS were taken KNOWINGLY by both tRUMP AND bIDEN...removed from the White House and moved to locations that were NOT UNDER SECURE GOV'T CONTROL. You don't have to be a rocket scientist or a lawyer to know that was AGAINST RULES OF CHAIN OF CUSTODY. A SECURITY BREACH of untold magnitude and consequences. PEOPLES LIVES and NATIONAL SECURITY were COMPROMISED...and we are supposed to IGNORE THAT?...I GUARANTEE...RUSSIA, CHINA, NORTH KOREA are not ignoring this. If we don't slam the lid SHUT on this and make an example...it will bite us in the ASS. This is not about court room proceedure or legal rights...that is automatically in place...
This is about setting a PRECEDENT. This is about making sure this NEVER happens AGAIN. I don't give a rip about embarrassing any politician or department head who was responsible. They need to BE CHARGED...TAKEN INTO CUSTODY...BAIL REVOKED...and PUBLICLY TRIED and hopefully CONVICTED for CRIMES AGAINST THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. If they can get away with treating NATIONAL SECURITY with such an ARROGANT, CAVALIER ATTITUDE...then we should just surrender and learn Russian and Chinese and Korean. NOBODY should be allowed to walk on this ... NOBODY.

@phoenixone1 Even if I agreed with you and I can't because I do not have access to evidence that proves your facts, sitting and even former presidents are not just arrested and imprisoned (except for Grant who was arrested and fined during his presidency for speeding in his horse and buggy).

I haven't heard anyone suggest that they should just walk, but as a matter of diplomacy this type of matter needs to be handled with discretion. Surely both matters must be investigated and handled promptly in the best interest of the country. But I'm sorry, I don"t think your approach is realistic and simply don't want a sitting president arrested before the matter is thoroughly investigated. An example is how a Committee just investigated Trump for a number of things and closed by asking the Justice Dept to charge Trump with all things that were substantiated during the investigation. We can get where you want to go if the facts are there, but there is an established diplomatic process for doing so.

@LovinLarge interesting fact about Grant. As far as sitting Presidents being arrested...I agree, but if caught red handed I believe they should be forced to resign and then face charges. Biden is going to rapidly lose any credibility he had. He is going to be basically useless till the next election and at this point it is doubtful he would win against anyone. Discretion will be nonexistent at this point for obvious reasons. International trust has been COMPROMISED...TWICE IN 6 YEARS...first by Cadet Bone Spurs with his insulting rhetoric aimed at our European Allies, threatening to pull us out of NATO, his alliance with Putin, his blatant insults to the Intelligence community, his Attempted Coup to overthrow a FREE AND FAIR ELECTION and last but not least his THEFT OF CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS.
Biden KNEW he wasn't supposed to have the documents. You can't tell me after 50 years he "didn't know"??? He embarrassed himself...he tainted the case against TRUMP and he embarrassed the COUNTRY...our Allies don't TRUST the USA or our leaders any further than they can throw them at this point. Its bad enough what is going on in Congress but THE PRESIDENT??? Biden is a HIPPOCRIT and doesnt deserve to be in that office.
I know you see my position as unrealistic and probably impossible(and you are probably correct),but it doesn't change the fact that we need to act decisively and act soon. As the saying goes..."strike while the iron is hot". Take both of them out at the same time and let this COUNTRY'S citizens and the WORLD know that we mean business. I would have to disagree with you in that this is a LEGAL problem first and foremost. I don't see it as a DIPLOMATIC problem. Diplomacy was tossed by both TRUMP AND BIDEN. In both cases it smells of the ROT that is ENTITLEMENT.
