It’s been a day, so to say, in U.S. politics and the justice system following the release of a report ending the investigation into President Biden’s handling, or lack of, classified documents.
Special Counsel Robert Hur was investigating President Biden’s handling of classified materials after his vice presidency, with the result ending in Biden being an “elderly man with a poor memory.”
The objective of the investigation was to ascertain whether Biden had retained classified documents improperly and in violation of national security protocols. As disclosed in the special counsel’s report, President Biden had negligently managed classified materials that were discovered in his residence and former workplace.

These materials included sensitive intelligence sources and methods, posing potential risks to national security.
Florida Rep Byron Donalds took to X to blast the “two-tiered” justice system following the release of Hur’s report.
“Trump’s facing a 40-count indictment regarding classified info. Biden was just cleared by his OWN DOJ despite finding he willfully retained classified info about:
▪️Military/Foreign Policy
▪️Nat’l Security
▪️Sensitive Intel Sources/Methods
This is TWO-TIERED JUSTICE in action,” said Donalds on X.
“Mr. Biden’s memory was significantly limited, both during his recorded interviews with the ghostwriter in 2017, and in his interview with our office in 2023. And his cooperation with our investigation, including by reporting to the government that the Afghanistan documents were in his Delaware garage, will likely convince some jurors that he made an innocent mistake, rather than acting willfully-that is, with intent to break the law-as the statute requires,” said the report.
“We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Eiden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory. Based on our direct interactions with and observations of him, he is someone for whom many jurors will want to identify reasonable doubt. It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him-by then a former president well into his eighties-of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness,” said Hur in the report.

Former President Donald Trump responded publicly to the decision.
“THIS HAS NOW PROVEN TO BE A TWO-TIERED SYSTEM OF JUSTICE AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL SELECTIVE PROSECUTION! The Biden Documents Case is 100 times different and more severe than mine. I did nothing wrong, and I cooperated far more. What Biden did is outrageously criminal – He had 50 years of documents, 50 times more than I had, and “WILLFULLY RETAINED” them. I was covered by the Presidential Records Act, Secret Service was always around, and GSA delivered the documents. Deranged Jack Smith should drop this Case immediately. ELECTION INTERFERENCE,” said Trump in a statement.
“If you’re too senile to stand trial, then you’re too senile to be president. Joe Biden is unfit to lead this nation,” said Alex Pfeiffer, communications director for Make America Great Again Inc.
