  1. What is hilarious to me, are those pretending the two cases are identical.

  2. From what I've read, the material in Biden's office had been properly requested, from the national archives, but forgotten in an unused office. And when found, it was immediately reported and returned. That contrasts with purposely absconding with government documents, then when returning them was requested, refusing to return them, pretending they had been returned, even after a subpoena had been issued, while keeping them in a area easily accessed by anyone.

  3. Two very different example. In one, after he was no longer in office, Biden's people made a request for documents, then forgot about them. And when found they were returned, without needing a request. In the other, documents were stolen from the government, squirreled away with momentos, in an area easily accessed by the public, including possibly hostile foreigners. And when the government requested they be returned, that request was ignored, when a subpoena was issued for them, only some were returned, then a claim that they belonged to the thief was made, and the FBI had to wrest them away from the thief.

  4.  @mycitysucks8096  No, as a former president, he doesn't have any power to declassify.

  5. Or they didn't know about the documents being found and returned, until now.

  6. No, you are wrong. He didn't just steal the documents while VP, but properly requested them from the National Archive, after he was no longer in office.

  7. Having the power to do something, at one time, means nothing. The documents Trump stole, after he was no longer president, were not declassified.

  8. No, the real difference was one set of documents was stolen from the government, and kept in an insecure area, which foreign guests could easily access, while the others were properly requested from the National Archive, then forgotten in a secure office.

  9. No, the major difference is, Trump stole the documents he held, while Biden made the correct request to the National Archives. Trump tried to deny he had stolen documents, after a request to return was made, while Biden's people returned the documents as soon as they found them, without a request being needed.
