Government Corruption
Special counsel: Biden 'willfully' disclosed classified materials, but no criminal charges warranted
2024-02-09
[APNEWS] President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. You're a lyin' dog-faced pony soldier...
 "willfully" retained and disclosed highly classified materials when he was a private citizen, including documents about military and foreign policy in Afghanistan and other sensitive national security matters, according to a Justice Department report that nonetheless says no criminal charges are warranted for him or anyone else.

The report from special counsel Robert Hur, released Thursday, represents a harshly critical assessment of Biden’s handling of sensitive government materials, but also details the reasons why he should not be charged with the crime.

The findings will likely blunt his ability to forcefully condemn Donald Trump

"Our investigation uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen," Hur wrote.

#13  "The top-secret and classified documents, as well as many others marked confidential, were discovered at the Penn Biden Center, the University of Delaware, and Biden’s Delaware home, including in his garage. According to the special counsel report, the material included notes from classified briefings that discussed “U.S. intelligence sources, methods … capabilities,” and activities, as well as the activities of foreign intelligence services. Other notes discussed “U.S. military programs and capabilities, foreign military programs and capabilities,” and “plans and capabilities of foreign terrorist organizations.”

#11  The Trump kerfluffle on classified documents involved a President, who seems to have declssified documents that he retained, as is legal, in proper storage contained under cleared Secret Service observation while he negotiated possession with the National Archives. If I recall correctly they were 19 SECRET and lower classification documents properly labeled.

Biden, as Vice President who had no authority to retain any classified documentation, had over 300 documents and document notebooks taken from PDB and other TOP SECRET classified sources, with over 20 marked at the TOP SECRET/Sensitive Compartmentalized Information-Code Word level in cardboard boxes stored unsecured in the basement and garage, and which by taped admission were shared with his Ghostwriter. The Hur report disregards the law since the mere possession alone, intent notwithstanding, of each document constitutes a felony. He essentially used the same risible excuse given Hillary that intent and ignorance constitute grounds for non-prosecution. Proof we are NOT a nation of laws, merely the pretense of law for those without patrons.

#9  It may have worked for Biden but Trump needs to be very careful not to use the same defense.

#7  Innit funny there's not one backstabber coming out of the woodwork on this? Compare and contrast to the people Trump surrounded himself with.

It's all about the money and who received what. Scope probably extends well beyond the Biden family.

#5  Intention and knowledge of the law are not pertinent for the disclose law.

So guilty. And like all double standards of today's "American" law, will not be held any more accountable than Hillary and her private server.

#2  I know it sounds a bit Alex Jones, but I suspect there's a backstory here which involves a family member, laptops, extensive travel, and the sale of classified documents to unauthorized foreign entities.

Apparently, a rock no one wishes to flip over.
