    Lol, I love how you quote one sentence that’s contradicted the very next paragraph where they explicitly state that they didn’t have the evidence to prove it.

    You’re literally just quoting propaganda that isn’t even supported by the rest of the document.

    Also, I love the idea that the person who immediately turned over what they had and cooperated fully with investigators is being accused of ‘willful retention’ as if it wasn’t just a lazy attempt at both sidesing this.

      they said they didn’t think they had enough evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt.

      Its not the same thing, and if you read the report there are hundreds of pages of evidence, its not like they were short on evidence.
      It seems to me the biggest factor in not charging him was actually his senility.

        Yeah, because there isn’t much ‘evidence’ there. It’s all just circumstantial conspiracy theory baking. It really feels like they’re just grasping at straws, especially when they paint a grand conspiracy and then immediately point out the completely innocent possibilities that are more likely.

        It seems to me the biggest factor in not charging him was actually his senility.

        Or, maybe, because he willfully turned all the documents over and didn’t attempt to retain them?

          Did you read the report?

          From the report page 65 Biden says: “They didn’t even know I have this” In reference to notes he knows he shouldn’t have still

          Then on page 77 biden says: “I didn’t want to turn them in” again reference to notes he should not have retained.

          These are both from audio recordings, so there is actually plenty of evidence to suggest he willfully retained classified docs he knew he shouldn’t have.
