That headline is misleading as fuck...
Whatever the case (whether he forgot or was negligent), he played ball when it came time to return and make sure he didn't have any of that shit left hanging around his place.
Trump was actively obstructive like the moron he is. There is no equivalency
Of course not, you can't prosecute a sitting President, remember? ;)
This is the best summary I could come up with:
About a month after he left office as vice president, in a recorded conversation with his ghostwriter in February 2017, Biden remarked that he “just found all this classified stuff downstairs," the report said.
"We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory," it said.
"We do not believe that the report’s treatment of President Biden’s memory is accurate or appropriate," Sauber and Bauer wrote in the letter, which was also released on Thursday.
"The report uses highly prejudicial language to describe a commonplace occurrence among witnesses: a lack of recall of years-old events."
Most notably, they wrote, "after being given multiple chances to return classified documents and avoid prosecution, Mr. Trump allegedly did the opposite."
On the other hand, they wrote, "Mr. Biden turned in classified documents to the National Archives and the Department of Justice, consented to the search of multiple locations including his homes, sat for a voluntary interview, and in other ways cooperated with the investigation."
The original article contains 1,038 words, the summary contains 185 words. Saved 82%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
