The Biden classified document scandal has just taken an interesting twist and it's one
0:06
the president's not going to like. We're going to get to that in just a second, but before we start, please make sure you

Share our stories, help get the word out. It really helps us out as a channel and it really helps the country, I believe, to get
0:25
the conservative news to the people who need it most. So for starters, John Lausch, a Trump appointee, someone who was appointed by President Donald
0:34
Trump, has been tapped by Attorney General Merrick Garland to head the investigation
0:41
into the classified documents that were found in Biden's private university office
0:47
Now, these documents are said to have information on Ukraine, Iran, the United Kingdom, foreign
0:55
policy information. We don't know exactly what the documents are. We don't know how serious they are, but we do know they are classified documents
1:03
And suddenly the same people who want President Donald Trump behind bars, they want him in
1:09
prison for those classified documents. Suddenly they have a world of excuses
1:13
Now, granted, these situations are not the same in a number of ways
1:18
Trump did argue against sending the documents back to the National Archives
1:23
These people did send the documents back right away as soon as they discovered them
1:28
Here's the problem. Trump's documents were out of the White House for a year or two
1:36
Biden's documents have been out of the White House for about seven years
1:40
That's a major difference that the major media doesn't want to talk about
1:44
Trump's situation was handled quickly. It was also handled with a raid on his property
1:49
No such raid ever happened to Hillary Clinton. No such raid happened this time to President Joe Biden
1:56
So it's hard for people to wrap their minds around it when they say there's not a double
2:00
standard, when there's not two sets of rules. Classified documents are classified documents
2:07
End of story. They don't belong in any other space other than the places that are deemed safe for classified documents
2:14
So I've heard the argument, well, he had them in a locked box and stored. That doesn't matter
2:19
That area was not deemed appropriate for classified documents. So it doesn't matter where he had them
2:24
He could have them in a filing cabinet. He could have had them lining his birdcage
2:28
He could have had them locked tightly and securely with armed Pinkerton guards. It wouldn't matter
2:33
They were not in an area deemed appropriate for classified documents. They were not supposed to be where they were
2:40
End of story. End of story. And on that, it is very similar
2:45
Biden also has the problem of facing a Republican Congress. But more than that, several political and legal experts have weighed in and they believe
2:54
because ultimately of a special counsel investigating Trump's situation, you have somebody else
2:59
investigating Biden's situation. They believe Merrick Garland, who tries to stay very apolitical
3:05
He's very known for that. He doesn't want to get involved in the politics and he doesn't want to have the appearance
3:10
of getting involved in the politics. Most of those experts are saying Garland will not charge Trump or indict Trump, even if
3:16
he was inclined to before this. He didn't want to break the precedent already of indicting a former president
3:24
He really didn't want to do it from what people are saying. And now with this, it's almost impossible for him to indict one person and give the
3:32
other person a pass and not have absolute chaos. This is a major gift to President Donald Trump
3:39
And I think all in all, though, people need to start being a lot more careful with classified documents
3:44
I think three major presidential contenders have all mishandled classified documents. That needs to stop
3:51
