 White House charges GOP with hypocrisy on Trump, Biden 
by Amie Parnes - 01/17/23 5:20 PM ET

The White House blasted Republicans on Tuesday, accusing them of hypocrisy with how they’ve handled the separate controversies surrounding classified documents found at President Biden’s garage and office and former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence. 

In a call with reporters, White House aides accused the GOP of engaging in “political theater” by attacking Biden while giving a free pass to Trump. 

“The president and his team have been fully cooperating, acting responsibly and ensuring that this is handled properly,” said Ian Sams, a spokesman for the White House Counsel’s Office. “You’ve seen something far different emerging among elected Republicans. What are they doing? They’ve decided that it’s time for more political stunts and theater.“  

The call was set up after a difficult week for the White House that found Democrats struggling at times to explain why documents had been taken to Biden’s garage and office, and why the public hadn’t been told about them until Jan. 10 — when the news first broke about the discovery.

Presidents have the power to declassify whatever they choose. Vice presidents do not.

Anybody see the difference?

He also held on to them for a long, long time - much longer than Mr. Trump did - without the national archives, or anyone else for that matter, being made aware of the issue.  And nobody would have been the wiser if, as is likely, some enterprising staffer hadn't come across some of these documents and started asking uncomfortable questions that couldn't be hushed up.

Here's another comparison of Trump and Biden, as related to classified documents:

Classified Documents Were At Joe Biden Residence While Hunter Biden Took Millions For “Representing F**king Spy Chief Of China”

For the last week and a half, defenders of President Joe Biden have said that the way he allegedly mishandled classified documents was not as dangerous, illegal, or inappropriate as the way former President Donald Trump allegedly mishandled classified documents.

But we now know that Hunter Biden was taking millions of dollars from businessmen tied to Chinese military intelligence while living at the home of his father, President Joe Biden, where classified documents, including ones relating to foreign nations, were recently found.

We additionally know that Hunter Biden was in the grip of a debilitating addiction to cocaine and alcohol and that he experienced frequent blackouts and loss of memory.

There is no evidence that Hunter Biden, willingly or unwillingly, sober or intoxicated, took classified documents from his father’s residence in Delaware and gave them to his client, a Chinese businessman named Patrick Ho.

“There’s no evidence that Hunter Biden accessed the documents, but — God-forbid — the opportunity existed for him to do so,” said investigative journalist Peter Schweitzer, who has tracked the Biden family’s business ties to the Chinese government, including military intelligence, over the last five years.

During the time that Hunter lived in his father’s residence, between 2017 and 2018, Hunter and the entities he and his uncle, James Biden, President Biden’s brother, controlled received at least $4.8 million from a Chinese energy conglomerate called CEFC, which is tied to the Chinese military. Hunter Biden received an additional $1 million from Patrick Ho, a CEFC official.

“After Ho is arrested in late 2017 at the United Nations, the first phone call he makes is to James Biden, the president’s brother, because he’s looking for Hunter,” said Schweitzer. ...

That's what I keep looking for. Why, after this length of time, did it become an issue? I'm having a hard time believing that these lawyers were sitting around one afternoon and decided to go look at Joey's Vette.
