Because we have zero idea of how those documents came to be in those boxes.
It may have had nothing to do with Biden taking them. Vice Presidents have a large staff who handle things for them routinely and accidents happen. We are talking about a couple dozen documents admit many thousands.
So I’ll repeat that you’re going to need more evidence which you simply don’t have. Based on what we know, it’s not prosecutable.
Wow, so, the left can complain about trump non stop…and that’s ok, but make an allegation against Biden and it’s “prove it and do something about it, or shut up about it”?
I think that neither of us know all that much about how classified documents are being handled in the highest levels of government. It’s perfectly clear that they are not nearly so strictly controlled that documents can’t go missing.Are you really stupid enough to believe that classified documents are just laying around the Capitol floor where somebody could accidentally pick them up by mistake? That's like a suspected murderer saying he was just using his knife to clean his fingernails and his victim happened to be running towards him on the sidewalk and ran into it.

Trump managed to carry off hundreds of them and the government can’t figure out what he took.
Again, mistakes happen. We shouldn’t be in the business of criminally prosecuting simple mistakes.
Stop playing the declassification game. It’s irrelevant and a waste of time. We all thought the government was keeping close track of classified documents and we were wrong. Trump walked off with hundreds of classified documents and the government has no clue what he all took. The government bureaucracy clearly hasn’t been keeping track of documents very closely. They go missing.Trump was the President of the United States, not a Senator. Trump had the authority to declassify anything he wanted, Senators don't.
Regardless where those documents are kept, Dementia would have to go out of his way to get them. It was no accident. He knew what he was taking.

So no, Biden wouldn’t have had to go out of his way to get them because people at his level of government are working with classified documents all the time, some of which can go missing without anyone noticing.
I think you’re failing to acknowledge how many people in the government have access to classified documents and how much material the government considers classified. There’s millions of people with access. Hell, loser 20 something’s can have too secret access and spread that crap on discord, if you haven’t been paying attentionBullshit. The only people working with classified documents are those that were granted authority by the US President. Nobody else should be near them.
They were vacating the office so Biden’s lawyers were clearing out the office and came upon them. You don’t need any conspiracy theories.Furthermore is it was Dementia's own lawyers that alerted the government he did indeed have classified documents. How would they know that if Dementia didn't even know? Did his lawyers decide for no reason whatsoever to start digging around his garage and a university that had Chinese relations to see if there were any?

Senators receive classified briefings and documents all the time. It’s part of their oversight and legislative responsibilities. Biden had less than 30 classified documents almost entirely from his days as Vice President.Okay hot shot, what were classified documents doing in his office in the first place? All classified documents are marked and I'm sure in a secured location in the Presidents office or something similar. For a US Senator to get them he had to go out of his way to do so.
The funding being held up before the phone call isn’t that relevant because the pressure applied to Zelensky started before the phone call too.The funding was held up before the phone call. A President has the authority to hold up that funding if he feels something isn't right. That's why it has to go through him in the first place.

And no, the president does not necessarily have unilateral authority. Different appropriations bills give the president different authority. GAO found that Trump broke the law with some of the money.
A Watchdog Has Found the Trump Administration Handled Some Ukraine Funds Lawfully
This is “distinguishable” from the 2020 ruling in which the watchdog determined the Trump administration did violate the law with other aid spending, GAO said.
Withholding money to compel Zelensky to help him go after Biden is not something we should support.

If every document is marked and so carefully tracked, how did Trump escape to Mar a Lago with hundreds of them? Obviously they’re not that carefully marked and tracked.
True. But it would be quite unusual for him to be so stupid as to say it entirely out loud.That's because that never happened. Nowhere in his phone call did Trump once threaten Zelenskyy with withholding the aid unless he cooperated.
True. But it would be quite unusual for him to be so stupid as to say it entirely out loud.
Withholding the aid (at least partially illegally) at the same time is incredibly suspicious, isn’t it? Coincidences like that must raise some eyebrows. We don’t really have an alternate explanation for why he decided to stick his fingers into such a technical and otherwise uncontroversial process. Trump personally involving himself is extremely unusual.
So far, no one has corroborated that the policy of declassifying things that leave the White House were declassified. It’s just a crazy thing that Trump said because he can say whatever he wants and none of you question the logic.Because the President has the authority to set his own standards on declassification. Trump's policy was anything that leaves the White House in his possession was automatically declassified. As for Dementia, he was stealing classified information since he was a Senator.
Yeah, I'd love to see where he's said the same thing to a leftie continually screaming and bitching about Trump.
