Former Department of Justice prosecutor-turned-pundit Andrew McCarthy argued Thursday that President Joe Biden has already admitted guilt publicly in the controversy over his handling of classified documents.
Biden had no authority to maintain possession of the documents after leaving office. The contents are unknown but are reported to include sensitive intelligenceThe statute that is implicated by Biden’s conduct is the Espionage Act of 1917 — the same law under which former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was investigated, and which the Department of Justice is using to investigate Trump.
Then-FBI director James Comey declined to prosecute Clinton, saying she did not appear to have the intent to mishandle classified information. However, as critics noted, there is no requirement of “intent” in the law.by the White House that Biden “inadvertently misplaced” the classified documents is an admission of guilt, because mishandling them is a violation of the law, even if inadvertent:
The reaction to the special counsel appointment by Richard Sauber, the lawyer Biden has brought into the White House to help deal with investigations, was remarkable. He said the president was confident that the special counsel investigation would find that the documents in question were “inadvertently misplaced.”
The Democrats are going to let this play out, they're hoping to disgrace him and get him removed from office prior to '24 because he is such a liability. They're not going to protect him on this one. They're eating their own to try and keep the Oval Office.
He will use being cognitively challenged to escape charges.
Just like Trump
When has that little FACT been inforced with Hillary or Joe
Duh. Yes. He’s “guilty” of having classified documents and told the proper authorities. That’s the whole point, isn’t it?
Like all other laws, it doesn’t apply to Democrats.
The Biden family if fully connected to china and Ukraine. History will prove citizens were stupid to ignore signs. Politicians who have since retired said Biden biggest crook in Washington.
Great. When will Andy admit, at long last, that his old buddies in the DoJ are completely biased and Joe is going to walk away laughing?
Was he even allowed to remove them? period
So has Trump
does anybody understand the difference between corruption and espionage classified top-secret document laying in a garage if anyone believes for one minute that Hunter has not photocopy those documents and is putting them up to the highest bidder you are sadly mistaken!!!!
Yeah and your paper came from nazi germany?
ARREST HIM !!!
So did Trump. Why hasn't he been charged. Think intent
Yup, I would go to jail for a much smaller infraction.
The fact that Trump admitted that he stole the classified documents simply because he could and refused to give the classified documents back is definitely a crime. McCarthy has nothing to say about Trump's espionage failures.
WHY ARE LAWYERS GOING THRU BOXES?
You really can't blame Joe. Drop a few pages here n there from rush caused by hearing ice cream truck coming, or seeing sniffable 9yo girl come into view.
Incredibly(?) the FBI is not interested in this case...or so it seems.
If I inadvertently misplace someone else's diamond neckless in my pocket and leave there for 7 years, I'm still going to get in trouble for taking something that's not mine.
B S !
I use to work with classified documents. You don’t just misplace them. Everyday before you left the building you did a document sweep. If you found one unsecured, it was a big deal! Nothing funnier than telling a general they F’ed up and walking away.
Impeach and jail Biden NOW!
That is not only an admission of guilt but also confesses to an organised group of people moving it by his instructions.
Is he aware in pushing this narrative that he is also asking for the same treatment for TFG handling of said documents. I think what is most unsettling is how documents are handled period. Neither situation is ideal. Righteous indignation is hilarious Kevin.
Subpoena Biden's taxes to see if he claimed HB rent $
What about putting Jordan on judicial committee and doesn't have the education and license for it .
Maybe Kevin should have checked out his lord and master trump, he didn’t misplace them, he stole them
So is defying a lawful subpoena.
How is it he can mishandle classified documents he should never have had, period?
JoeBiden admitted it in ignorance and arrogance. Ignorance that he really does not know. Arrogance that the swamp will never do a thing to him.
Biden has been a liar and criminal for years.. and got away with it. So he feels he will again.. he should have been booted about 40 years ago after the first lie and plagiarism.. he’s a traitor to this country
No he STOLE them from the White House
georgegalloway Pleading Insanity will get Him out of it.
georgegalloway The games afoot …..
georgegalloway Bear in mind that Biden is a sociopathic liar - you can't take anything he says at face value.
georgegalloway So NOW you’re interested in the security of classified documents.
We’re on the right path now aren’t we? Haaaahaaaahaaaa Fukien RATS Haaaahaaaahaaa
Breitbart is not news, merely disgraced Trump propagandist Steve Bannon..
I hate when I misplace my Classified Documents! Especially with my Dementia getting worse every month! It’s hard to tell where I leave those things! I had a garage sale a few weeks ago, somebody I think bought a few!
So Kevin is fine with throwing Trump in jail? For Biden they will have to wait 2 years then? Should he not run or win reelection he just pulls a Nixon! Problem solved.
Trump admitted having the docs…& failed to turn them over.
He should be in handcuffs right now along with the rest of his crime family!!!
If that is the case what are they going to do about trump
BasedSavannah OK, he's admitted guilt in public. The trial should be very short with a conviction for multiple charges followed by the normal sentence for Traitors against the United States. So let's get to it, Indict, Try, Convict, Imprison
So what does “willfully withheld” documents mean?
Barry and Soros' boy just isn't doing so well. Is he?
But let’s just be clear that BOTH Trump and Biden handled classified documents like a 5 year old! BOTH should not be allowed to hold any office where classified information is handled!! Let them get a job in a Florida Walmart!
He stole them by accident and then moved them a few more times inadvertently. He's a re-tard. He thinks his garage is a secure location.
A passage the United States Since the end of the Civil War every avenue has infiltrated by the Lycanthropic Theocractic Plantation who did not wear their hoods
So Trumpy lying makes him innocent? Duh
I'm confident you can take it from here, Mr. Speaker!
Oh!!! He’s going to lose his secret decoder ring for that public blunder!
IMPEACHBIDENNOW
Correct
IMPEACHBIDENNOW TraitorsUS
Impeach him
So this means trumps guilty
Well. What now?
He needs to be impeach as soon a possible. The following should happen: 1. The FBI needs to raid his house. 2. He needs to be arrested and be put at home detection with a monitor waiting for trail. He needs to resign as President.
and what are we gonna do !!!!!!
One related to obstruction — which the New York Times said could be because a lawyer working for Trump signed a written statement asserting that they had already returned all classified documents, which wasn’t true.
Scarlet54baker Misplaced once maybe, twice ok , 3,4 and 5 is intentional
Soooo, shall we start the impeachment proceedings?
Impeach !!!!!
Didn’t he just “think” them into declassification?
🎯
These desperate attempts to smear a good public servant show just how corrupt brightfart has become.
Just like they inadvertently forgot to mention these documents until after the mid-term election…where is the transparency?
Hunter Biden knows that, or does he. Certainly corn Pop would have something to say
Petraeus was found guilty.
Why yes yes he did 😂
Jill told him that they could use the blank backside for their copier
Lol nothing will happen.
Start the trial put about 100 working Americans on the jury that will end it
He probably has classified documents all over the place that he doesn't remember where he put them.
The Teleprompter said, do not mention the fact that you miss placed those documents. And once again, Biden failed to read the Teleprompter. When he goes out on his own, it's always a disaster.
Arrest for treason then. Enough of the bullshit
Biden 'misplaced' classified documents that as VP he shouldn't have in the first place! This is not a pair of gloves to 'misplace'; these are documents that are a security risk, if in the wrong hands. This man is a senile old goat that shouldn't be President!!
It doesn't matter the deep state will protect their own party
Sure just like Hillary we know why these crooks are mishandling secret info but lets be honest if Biden murdered and ate a toddler live on MSNBC along with Hillary and Pelosi their spin doctors would cover for them and nobody would say anything
🚨Alert Next shoe to Drop! Hidden Classified Documents are stated in the Hunter's Laptop from Hell. The FBI is sitting on that fact due to National Security! Obama involved!
MISPLACED? FOR 6 YEARS!! Ya right!
The backs of the documents make great canvasses for Hunter's art.
Donald Trump and GOP betrayed America and cannot be trusted. GOPTraitors MAGATraitors
So frustrating to watch the media compare Trump vs Bidens classified documents. Biden has no rights to any classified documents,he stole them. President Trump is allowed to have them and declassify them and keep them under the Presidential records act... their is no comparison
Ok, let the impeachments begin: one impeachment for each document.
He inadvertently misplaced them all over his house, let's be clear. It's no longer a couple of boxes, it's now papers here and papers there that jumped out of those boxes.
Just took money out of the bank. Put money in my corvette. Any liberal who believes Biden then put your money in your car 🚗
Not likely a personal attorney would shaft a client like this, nor likely one would be going through belongings, is it?
He's going to be impeached then we get something worse
They might want to raid Kamala Harris to see if she has any documents that are top secret. It’s possible since Joe got his while being VP. Chances are she has documents on electric school buses and Venn diagrams, maybe even the passage of time.
So.......Trump goes to prison today, right folks?
Too bad sitting presidents can't be charged with a crime. Lol. Thanks Trump!
Joe Biden is so corrupt lol
I think he’s being set up to be gotten rid of as no one wants him anymore. But no matter, he’s still guilty as hell.
