Democrats are criticizing President Joe Biden for using the issue of classified documents against Donald Trump when he had his own problem with sensitive memos at his home and office. …
Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) told NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday that after Biden had criticized Trump over allegedly mishandling classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, the fact that he also allegedly mishandled classified documents was problematic.
“Well, it’s certainly embarrassing,” Stabenow said. …
“I don’t think we can exclude the possibility without knowing more of the facts,” Schiff said. “We have asked for an assessment in the intelligence community of the Mar-a-Lago documents. I think we ought to get that same assessment of the documents found in the [Penn Biden Center] as well as the home of President Biden.”
[They don’t have much choice. Biden led them into a box canyon over the Trump documents, and now turns out to have had the same problem for years before this. They tried arguing that Biden’s situation at Penn Center was different when it was arguably worse, and now the drip-drip revelations from Wilmington have entirely mooted that approach anyway. Their next argument, which began deploying yesterday, will be “let the special counsel handle it.” That’s code for an Emily Litella retreat on Trump. — Ed]
