LurkerMom: Oh, so passing the buck to Trump makes the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES not guilty of helter-skelter storage of classified documents just laying around in multiple places innocent of any wrong doing?

Please review the difference between carelessness and theft.

While it's too early to tell, Biden seems to have been negligent but not intentionally dishonest. Biden's situation seems similar to the February 2005 case of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, although unlike Biden there was evidence of Gonzales's specific knowledge and personal handling of highly classified material outside of an appropriate classified facility. Plus, unlike Biden, Gonzales did not self-report his mishandling of the classified material. But we'll see when the evidence is presented.

And no one implied Biden will get a free pass. Although he's unlikely to face any legal jeopardy, this will leave a mark.

Trump, though? World O'Difference.
