“Biden had classified docs too! Same as Trump — both guilty!”
What You Say
Special counsel reports documented materially different conduct: Biden's team returned documents upon discovery and cooperated with investigators; Trump allegedly obstructed retrieval, stored files in unsecured locations, and faces charges for willful retention and obstruction. Equating cooperative return with alleged concealment is whataboutism — the legal question is intent, obstruction, and national-security risk, not whether two people touched classified paper.
The Stab
Cooperating with the FBI isn't the same as hiding boxes.
