It is at least the third time the FBI has searched Biden\u2019s effects as part of the investigation, and one of those searches was done so discreetly it wasn\u2019t public knowledge until months after the fact. <\/p>\n<p>In addition to his home, classified documents were also found at the Penn-Biden center, the president\u2019s Chinese-funded think tank. The Justice Department has also graciously trusted Biden\u2019s personal attorneys \u2014 who did not have security clearances \u2014 to sift through his papers and identify any potentially incriminating documents without DOJ supervision.<\/p>\n<p>These searches of Biden\u2019s home and private papers came just a few months after the FBI raided former President Donald Trump\u2019s home at Mar-a-Lago for the identical crime of mishandling classified documents. Biden&#8217;s situation is <a href=\"https:\/\/mobile.twitter.com\/BasedMikeLee\/status\/1618682312274874371\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Perhaps worse<\/a> since he allegedly retained classified documents from his Senate tenure, which doesn\u2019t have any declassification authority that comes with the presidency. But now after weeks of breathless speculation about how the Justice Department prosecution could be used to keep Trump from running for president again, the media are at pains to explain why Trump\u2019s crimes are somehow worse than Biden\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>And so the media haven\u2019t coalesced so much as collapsed around a central narrative: Biden\u2019s violations of the law are somehow excused because he\u2019s fully cooperating with the FBI investigation. As Exhibit A, here\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/02\/01\/us\/politics\/fbi-biden-rehoboth.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The New York Times article<\/a> on the latest FBI search of Biden\u2019s home:<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON \u2014 The F.B.I. is conducting a search of President Biden\u2019s vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Del., the president\u2019s personal lawyer said on Wednesday morning, as investigators continue looking into his possession of classified documents.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The president and his legal team cooperated in the search. It wasn&#8217;t clear if any documents were found at the beach house.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, with the president\u2019s full support and cooperation, the D.O.J. is conducting a planned search of his home in Rehoboth, Del.,\u201d Bob Bauer, Mr. Biden\u2019s personal lawyer, said in statement.\u201cUnder D.O.J.\u2019s standard procedures, in the interests of operational security and integrity, it sought to do this work without advance public notice, and we agreed to cooperate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They are downplaying the fact that a sitting president was at the centre of a lengthy FBI investigation. This mere fact was routinely cited as disqualifying when Trump was president, regardless of how meritless the FBI\u2019s Russia-collusion investigation proved to be. But you almost have to admire the chutzpah of framing the entire story around Biden\u2019s exculpatory excuses, replete with a generous quote from Biden\u2019s lawyer explaining as much. <\/p>\n<p>Be aware of the sophistry in declaring that this was all done<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The media want you to believe that Biden&#8217;s mishandling of classified documents is acceptable because he&#8217;s &#8216;cooperating&#8217; with the investigation &#8212; but it&#8217;s a transparently dishonest argument.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":274,"featured_media":1832273,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[3706,15473,5591,17348,11213],"class_list":["post-1832270","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist","tag-bidens","tag-cooperation","tag-fbi","tag-meaningless","tag-misleading"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1832270","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/274"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1832270"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1832270\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1832273"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1832270"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1832270"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1832270"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
