that s very inciteful. what i would say is that the content of these documents matter dramatically as to whether they were unintentional misplacement outside of a secure facility or to be shared. remember, david petraeus got in a lot of trouble for sharing classified information with someone that didn t have clearance. that is something that i think is drilling as to what is is the contents of this these documents? carley: feels like the popular opinion when all is said and done neither president biden or former president trump are going to face any sort of legal ramifications for this or be indicted whatsoever. one within a sells out the other. but if regular american mishandled classified documents, the outcome would be much different. how do you feel about that? it s true.
donald trump situation. when huge difference and matt whitaker trust on it donald trump was the president of united states he has the authority, and the ability to hold these classify documents and yes he can declassify these documents joe biden was the vice president, he does not. in the white house keep saying that this is an inadvertent misplacement of documents but why does it matter? the statute is very clear did you have them or did you not have them? joe biden admitted that he had a documents locked next to this corvette of course that is a real problem because it s a violation of law of the that the american people are asking is that there are a justice system here? sonu takes a picture instead of nuclear submarine prosecution 170 over five years joe biden has these documents, her clinton has 30,000 emails yet nobody cares about that because your party elites this is a real problem i think the american people see through it and that s can be a serious issue for
jesse: she knows she has got nothing to hide. no one even lets her look at classified documents. let s turn it over to jonathan hurley george washington university law professor and fox news contributor. all right. professor hurley turley, i m thinking of herr. the new special counsel. where do you think this thing goes? is this going to be bad for joe biden or is this just going to get covered up like hillary clinton s thing did? well, the most interesting aspect about today is that the white house repeated almost mantra like this inadvertence defense. they have legally latched on to this and said this was an inadvertent misplacement of these documents. the problem is that the facts don t really support that because we the assumption is that all of these documents were taken from the executive branch when biden left as vice president. that s in 2017.
for president biden now separated out? was there a reason these documents were the ones that he wanted to hold onto? jonathan: well i think the timeline for the biden documents are is really increasingly intriguing. you know, his counsel said this was an inadvertent misplacement of documents, but this was not a one-and-done problem. presumably all of these documents were in the group of documents removed from executive branch when biden left as best president. that was in 2017. s the penn biden center did not open its office in d.c. in 2018 so he had to move in after that day. so these documents had to go to some other location. now the question is why were they divided? they end up in different places, some are in d.c. summer at his
we had a couple statements from president biden s torn today one of the people in the white house council s office, one of the attorneys who said and karine jean-pierre repeated this several times as well he takes classified documents seriously. the white house position is that this was inadvertent misplacement and they also called it a mistake, the attorney did. but the white house has not answered questions about how they got there why they were there in the first place. and why they didn t disclose all of this a lot earlier. bret: right. as it came. and the timeline there, mollie, is really interesting. the new chairman of the house intelligence committee, mike turner wants to know about who had access to all the documents in each of the different places, including in delaware. take a listen. okay. we did have it jen psaki and mike turner. we will get it and play it there are a lot of questions about
