A lead prosecutor in that case — David Raskin, an experienced Justice Department national security attorney — was subsequently tapped by Attorney General Merrick Garland to assist in the Trump document investigation.
“Kingsbury knew that her personal residence was not an authorized location for such storage and having unauthorized possession of these 20 documents relating to national defense,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick C. Edwards, one of Raskin’s colleagues, said at a hearing in that case, according to a court transcript. “She willfully retained the documents and failed to deliver them to an officer or employee of the United States entitled to receive them.”
Certainly the Justice Department is going to apply to President Biden the same standard it applied to Kendra Kingsbury, and the same standard the Post wanted applied to Donald Trump, right?
Or . . . why do I suspect Biden will get the Hillary Clinton whitewash treatment, and that Trump — to the Post’s chagrin — may now also have to get that treatment so that the Biden Justice Department can rationalize giving it to Biden?
[I suspect that’s exactly what will happen, especially if Biden really does want to run for a second term. — Ed]
