Here's Another Double Standard Exposed in the Biden Special Counsel Report

The Biden White House is a trainwreck handling this special counsel report on the president’s mishandling of classified information. They’re treating the official findings of a federal investigation as a partisan hack job because of the observations regarding Biden’s age and mental acuity. The dismissive attitude is also the default reaction Democrats have when it comes to stories that make them look bad. The president was found to have willfully retained classified information, but he’s too senile to be charged.  

You cannot draft a better example of the two systems of justice at work regarding Biden and Trump’s classified document issues: Joe won’t be charged for these violations due to his age and memory lapses, but he’s perfectly fit to run the country. It's the usual 'orange man...bad' war cry for Trump. 

The other layer is his ghostwriter not being charged for obstruction when he deleted audio tapes relating to the president’s second book, Promise Me, Dad.  

Mark Zwonitzer destroyed these files when he learned they were the subject of a federal investigation. Biden disclosed classified information on these tapes to Zwonitzer—the president reportedly told the writer that the files were in the basement. Hur didn’t charge Zwonitzer because he provided “plausible, innocent reasons,” meanwhile, two Trump staffers were charged after they moved some boxes. 

Sounds like another example of selective prosecution.

Also, it's a given that Karine Jean-Pierre is a master of disaster in doing control damage. Ian Sams, White House spokesman for oversight and investigations, wasn't much better:
