treated equally. the democrats are trying to turn this into an example of where they are going to comply with the law, because they know that that s important for democracy. the republicans, of course, are having a field day with this and saying that trump is being treated far more unfairly than biden and this is another example of how far the deep state goes in the way the fbi raid was handled. and they re trying to use this to their advantage, the best that they can. looking a bit longer term, then, do you think this will have any effect on biden s decision to run again? do you think this might damage him, the polls that you were quoting, notwithstanding, especially among swing voters? i don t think it s going to affect biden s decision to run, because biden will be running most likely against trump, who also faces a very similar situation. i think biden s team thinks that he can weather this storm, if he just complies with what the special counsel wants him to do,

documents recently recovered from places connected to the president. a special counsel is investigating. republicans have made crystal clear for months they intend to lean heavily into investigating the biden administration and the president s family. now the documents debacle has landed in their lapse and their reaction to this latest bombshell offers a glimpse of what may be to come. the house oversight committee tweeted, quote, is the scavenger hunt over? americans need answers now. elise stefanick went further and accused biden of stealing classified documents when he was a senator. meanwhile, there have been harsh but more measured reactions among republicans no longer in congress. listen to this. how does a sitting united states senator take home classified materials to his home? i m sorry, you know, i served in the united states congress, and every time i viewed classified materials, i did it in a classified setting, usually in a
