This majority\u200c even included 29% of \u200bDemocrats who agreed with the statement. The four-day-long \u2064poll concluded on Monday and the \u2064results\u200b were released on\u2062 Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n<p>Last Thursday, Hur released his report on Biden&#8217;s \u2064handling of classified\u2064 documents, stating that there is evidence that the\u200b President willfully\u2064 retained and\u200d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrats-spun-bidens-classified-docs-as-six-items-but-special-counsel-report-reveals-it-was-300-plus\/\" title=\"Democrats misrepresented the number of Biden's classified documents as 'six items,' but the special counsel report reveals it was over 300\">disclosed classified \u200bmaterials<\/a> after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen.\u200c However, Hur also concluded that \u2064no criminal charges are warranted in this matter. The special counsel\u200d further argued that due to Biden&#8217;s mental state,\u2064 it would \u2062be unlikely for a jury to \u2062convict\u200d the 81-year-old President of a serious felony, describing him \u2064as a\u2063 sympathetic, well-meaning, \u200celderly man with a poor memory.<\/p>\n<p>Of those surveyed by Reuters\/Ipsos, 46% said they were at least somewhat familiar with Hur&#8217;s less-than-flattering description of Biden. \u2063The poll also revealed concerning findings \u2064for Biden&#8217;s re-election campaign, as\u2062 78% of respondents, including 71% of \u2062Democrats, believe that the President is too old to remain in government. In\u2062 comparison, only 53% of respondents said that 77-year-old Donald\u2062 Trump is too \u2064old to be elected to\u2063 office.<\/p>\n<p>Trump, who is currently facing his own classified documents case, criticized \u2063the special \u200ccounsel&#8217;s decision to \u200cclear Biden, calling it &#8220;selective persecution.&#8221; He argued that if Biden \u2063is not going\u2062 to \u2062be charged, then he should not be\u200b charged either, claiming that \u2064this is nothing more than selective persecution of his political opponent.<\/p>\n<p>Trump himself has been hit with 40 \u2063charges over his \u200bhandling\u2063 of classified documents after leaving office, including obstructing government officials from retrieving the documents. In August 2022, the\u2064 FBI raided \u200dTrump&#8217;s Mar-a-Lago estate to confiscate the classified documents. \u2063However, Trump maintains his\u2064 innocence, citing protection under the Presidential Records Act.<\/p>\n<p>Biden addressed the special counsel&#8217;s report in a\u200d press conference, stating \u200cthat the \u2063investigation&#8217;s conclusion means\u2063 the classified documents scandal is now behind\u2062 him.\u200c During the press conference, the President became defensive when reporters asked him about the report&#8217;s\u2062 revelations regarding his memory. Biden responded by asserting\u200c that he\u2064 is the most qualified person in the United States to be\u200d President.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: \u2063 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/86-of-americans-say-biden-too-old-for-another-term-poll\">86% Of Americans \u2064Say Biden Too Old For Another Term: Poll<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1707591998756000&#038;usg=AOvVaw25BBjfj8wpQhA6F0A4qnyA\">CLICK HERE\u200b TO GET THE\u2063 DAILYWIRE+ \u200cAPP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> \u200d What \u200care the concerns\u2063 raised by critics\u2064 about the special treatment Biden received and its impact on the credibility of the justice system<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Den,\u2062 while 33% said they were not familiar at all.\u2063 The poll also asked respondents how they felt about the outcome of the investigation. The \u2063majority, 57%, said they were dissatisfied with the conclusion \u2064that no\u2063 criminal\u2063 charges were \u2064warranted. Only 25%\u2063 said they were satisfied with the outcome, while 18% remained undecided.<\/p>\n<p>The findings of this poll highlight\u2063 a\u2063 growing concern among American voters regarding the issue of special treatment for politicians. It raises questions\u2063 about whether politicians, particularly those in positions of power like the President, are held to the same \u2064standards as ordinary citizens when it comes to handling classified information.<\/p>\n<p>This sentiment is echoed by the fact\u200d that nearly the same percentage of Democrats, 29%, \u200dagreed with the statement\u2063 that \u200bBiden received special treatment. It suggests that this \u2062issue \u200ctranscends party lines and is a matter of principle and fairness.<\/p>\n<p>Critics argue that the special treatment Biden \u200dreceived undermines the credibility of the \u2063justice system and sends a \u2062message that politicians are \u2062above \u2063the law. They\u2063 argue that if an\u200b ordinary citizen had been found to have willfully retained and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-fumes-over-special-counsel-report-highlighting-bidens-poor-memory\/\" title=\"White House angered by report on Biden's 'weak recollection\">disclosed classified materials<\/a>, they would face serious legal consequences. The perception that politicians can get away with such actions without facing repercussions erodes trust in the\u2062 justice system.<\/p>\n<p>Supporters of Biden argue that his age and mental state should be taken into consideration when evaluating his actions. They contend that it is unfair to hold an elderly individual, who may have memory issues, to the\u200c same standards \u200cas \u200csomeone younger and in better cognitive health. They argue that the intention behind Biden&#8217;s actions was not malicious, but rather a result\u2064 of unintentional mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of where one stands on this issue, it\u200d is evident that a significant portion of\u2062 American voters are concerned about the fairness and\u200c impartiality of the investigation into Biden&#8217;s handling of classified\u200b documents. The fact that a majority believes he received special\u200c treatment underscores the need for transparency and accountability in dealing with such cases, particularly when it\u2063 involves high-ranking officials.<\/p>\n<p>Moving \u2064forward, it is crucial for the justice system to address these concerns and reassure the public that no one is above the law. It is essential \u200cto demonstrate that investigations into politicians&#8217; actions are conducted\u200c objectively, without bias or favoritism. This will help restore trust in the justice system \u200cand ensure that politicians are held accountable for their actions, \u2064just like any other citizen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Reuters\/Ipsos survey reveals that 53% of Americans believe President Joe Biden received special treatment in special counsel Robert Hur&#8217;s investigation on classified documents due to his presidential status<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":324,"featured_media":2175001,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2024\/02\/GettyImages-1991167373-scaled-e1707837955450.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[541],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2175000","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-daily-wire"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2024\/02\/GettyImages-1991167373-scaled-e1707837955450.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2175000","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\/324"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2175000"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2175000\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2175001"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2175000"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2175000"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2175000"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
