home, a sign that the white houses and deeper legal trouble than we thought? it s possible. again, we don t know what we don t know. we don t know the levels of criminal intent, what biden knew and so on. my guess is that what is going on with biden as more of a public relations and document handle lane problem that it is something about the criminal law. from a legal standpoint, president biden has done everything right since finding these documents. he immediately turned them over. he s cooperating extensively with the archives in, the justice department. all of that goes a long way in saying to criminal investigators, no crime was committed. it is not like the president is with these documents, in the or something like that. it s something that appears very different. again, we don t know all the facts, but that s what it looks like right now. that is very different than donald trump s reaction to these documents from start to
or favors can t misuse taxpayer resources for personal or political purposes. this isn t just a scott pruitt problem. remember health and human services secretary tom price resigned because he had a plane problem. treasury secretary went on date night with his wife to go visit and kiss his money on the eclipse day. and that s never been fully investigated. this key happening and the fact that pruitt thought he can get a $50 a night rental from his buddy. and then go to italy earlier this year go tour the vatican with high-end security detail on the promise of like i m stopping at a conference for five minutes. none of this passes the smell test. and it happens systemwide with kellyanne conway violating the hatch act. it s frustrating during the confirmation hearings it kim out that omb director mick mulvaney didn t pay the nanny tax. when i had a nanny i paid my taxes.
