DOJ double standards: Everything indicates that Joe Biden will escape charges for mishandling classified documents

Robert Hur, the special prosecutor in charge of the investigation into Joe Biden's mishandling of classified documents, is not expected to charge anyone when he concludes his investigations.

In fact, as reported by CNN and The Wall Street Journal, citing sources familiar with the investigation, Hur and his team are preparing a report that could be published by the end of the year, although its publication could be delayed.

According to CNN, the report is expected to be critical of Biden and his staff. However, due to the nature of the interrogations, it appears that no complaints will be filed against those involved. This situation is already generating criticism of the Department of Justice for its double standard in the penal system.

Prosecutor Jack Smith indicted former U.S. President Donald Trump on charges similar to those of Biden in the case of classified documents found in Mar-a-Lago, Florida.

While some media maintain that the cases are different, as Biden's team would have informed the National Archives of the document findings quickly, critics of the DOJ claim that the president's case is much more severe because his classified files belonged to his time as vice president and senator. In addition, there was complicity with the DOJ in not revealing to the public the discovery that documents had been hidden in two locations related to Biden.

Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Hur in January to investigate Biden after classified documents were found at the Penn Biden Center think tank in Washington, D.C., and at his home in Wilmington, Delaware.

According to the WSJ, Hur's investigation involved a total of 100 Biden aides, colleagues and family members, including Hunter Biden.

The special counsel also interviewed Joe Biden himself over two days in October.

Hur also spoke with several key Biden Administration officials, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who was his national security adviser when he was vice president, and also current White House national security advisor Jake Sullivan.

Hur also interviewed senior White House political adviser Steve Ricchetti and former Biden chief of staff Ron Klain.

The Biden classified documents scandal was first leaked to CBS News on January 9, two months after Biden's personal lawyers found the initial files on November 2.

The news that Hur does not plan to press charges comes days after House Republicans moved forward with their investigations into Biden's mishandling of classified documents.

Representatives James Comer, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, and Jim Jordan, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, called former White House adviser Dana Remus to testify and will also interview four key officials: Annie Tomasini, senior advisor to Biden and director of Oval Office Operations; Anthony Bernal, senior advisor in first lady Jill Biden's office; Ashley Williams, special assistant to the president and deputy director of Oval Office Operations; and Katharine Reilly, who works in the White House chief of staff's office.

According to Fox News, Tomasini, a close friend of the Biden family, would have done an "inventory" of Biden's documents at the Penn Biden Center more than a year before the discovery of the classified files was revealed to the public.
