Reply to comment by TXWayne in Classified files found at Biden's Delaware home by Gavel_the_Baker
context and intent is key when it comes to documents like that. been military for almost 20 years. seen several classified info fuck ups over the years. depending on the doc and the context, it can go from slap on wrist to jail. depends on the docs, how they were secured, etc etc....
immediately returning docs upon discovery demonstrates no ill intent. trump went out of his way to hide and obstruct suggesting ill intent. honestly if trump had returned the docs he probably would have had zero happen to him.
it should be investigated without doubt but it would hardly be special treatment for Biden, or any other politician or citizen, to be let go with minimal consequences if the breaches are minimal and it was reported to proper authorities of their own volition.

Yep, been cleared for 42 years and was a military special agent while I was in for a period of time so I get it. Just chafes me because I saw the lower level of folks get hammered for this kind of stupid stuff, and it is stupid, yet higher ranking folks get off with a slap on the wrist. Not just for mishandling classified but for many things. But everyone keep the downvotes coming, my statement was not political at all, notice I specifically said "No politician of any flavor should get special treatment."
