What Trump did has no bearing on what Biden has done. NONE. They are two separate things. Of course we have no idea if there was intent or obstruction, however at the very least there was negligence. By being negligent, figuratively speaking Biden and his people stepped on their collective dicks, hard. They gave the Republicans talking points to refute the "high road" narrative The Dems were using to good effect and refute it rather decisively. The died in the wool Dem supporters are going to verbally try to play a game of dodgeball, making excuses, motorboating it: but,but,but,but,but... That's why I was saying they need to keep their yaps shut. Too many excuses, too many WAGs about how it happened can do more harm than good.At this point we know the orange traitor exercised / demonstrated willful intent and obstruction related to illegal possession of classified documents / government property at Mar a lago and elsewhere.
At this point we have no idea how the classified documents at President Biden’s office and home even got there, let alone that President Biden or anyone on his team exercised / demonstrated willful intent or obstruction.
The investigations ARE proceeding, BUT, at the same time, the narratives about both are being created / manufactured.
MESSAGING IS IMPORTANT.
Should President Biden and his team simply cede the political narrative related to the two VERY DIFFERENT investigations to “the new republicans” so they can conflate them or inflate President Biden’s culpability???

Biden's staff knew shortly after Trump left the whitehouse that Trump had those documents. WITF wasn't a search done to make sure there weren't any in a place that could come back and bite Biden in the ass? Laziness? Negligence? Stupidity? Arrogance? All of those?
While it hasn't been the same thing as with Trump, the majority of the public isn't going to be looking at the nuanced differences. They are going to be looking at the fact that classified documents were found in the possession of Biden (or his staff) while the Dems are telling them that it was bad for Trump to have the same. And the more that turn up, the more the public is going to think it is the same. Messaging is important, but perception is more so. When something appears to be the same on the surface, most people can't or don't want to tell the difference. Most would kill a Corn Snake because they thought it a Coral snake. The same here, Biden is guilty of the same thing Trump was because on the surface it APPEARS to be the same. You don't tromp all over your dick without leaving shoe marks FFS.
There is no excuse for it, THEY FUCKED UP!
