documents which ░░░░░░░░ about every other president ░░░░░░░░ done Clip ends TAPPER ░░░░░░░░ s the truth here ░░░░░░░░ Dale There s a ░░░░░░░░ of dishonesty there Jake ░░░░░░░░ just a few words ░░░░░░░░ these were not his ░░░░░░░░ documents under the Presidential ░░░░░░░░ Act They legally belonged ░░░░░░░░ the federal government the ░░░░░░░░ he left office It ░░░░░░░░ not true that just ░░░░░░░░ every other president has ░░░░░░░░ this He is the ░░░░░░░░ president in the Presidential ░░░░░░░░ Act era to take ░░░░░░░░ documents to his home ░░░░░░░░ club and refuse to ░░░░░░░░ them back when asked ░░░░░░░░ then this suggestion that ░░░░░░░░ Espionage Act is only ░░░░░░░░ spies and traitors is ░░░░░░░░ not true Of course ░░░░░░░░ law does deal with ░░░░░░░░ and traitors but there ░░░░░░░░ a provision under which ░░░░░░░░ and many other people ░░░░░░░░ been charged 793 E ░░░░░░░░ says all you have ░░░░░░░░ do to violate it ░░░░░░░░ willfully retain national defense ░░░░░░░░ And just in the ░░░░░░░░ era a number of ░░░░░░░░ have been charged for ░░░░░░░░ spying but just retaining ░░░░░░░░ We have Harold Martin ░░░░░░░░ former NSA contractor took ░░░░░░░░ bunch of sensitive information ░░░░░░░░ his house was not ░░░░░░░░ of disseminating them of ░░░░░░░░ a spy he was ░░░░░░░░ to nine years in ░░░░░░░░ There was an Air ░░░░░░░░ officer again accused of ░░░░░░░░ classified

provision TAPPER Former President ░░░░░░░░ also criticized Joe Biden ░░░░░░░░ times in his speech ░░░░░░░░ Biden take a listen ░░░░░░░░ starts Trump to watch ░░░░░░░░ corrupt sitting president had ░░░░░░░░ top political opponent arrested ░░░░░░░░ fake and fabricated charges ░░░░░░░░ Biden had troves of ░░░░░░░░ documents from his time ░░░░░░░░ vice president and even ░░░░░░░░ a senator which was ░░░░░░░░ and totally illegal Biden ░░░░░░░░ 1 850 boxes to ░░░░░░░░ University of Delaware Clip ░░░░░░░░ TAPPER A lot there ░░░░░░░░ Help us as much ░░░░░░░░ you can First of ░░░░░░░░ Trump insinuated that Biden ░░░░░░░░ him arrested that Biden ░░░░░░░░ it Also that Biden ░░░░░░░░ had illegally obtained and ░░░░░░░░ troves of documents Dale ░░░░░░░░ So the first part ░░░░░░░░ is no indication no ░░░░░░░░ whatsoever that President Biden ░░░░░░░░ somehow behind these charges ░░░░░░░░ were brought by a ░░░░░░░░ counsel and approved by ░░░░░░░░ Florida grand jury of ░░░░░░░░ citizens Then this claim ░░░░░░░░ Biden and the 1 ░░░░░░░░ boxes Look Biden is ░░░░░░░░ his own special counsel ░░░░░░░░ because he did take ░░░░░░░░ number of classified documents ░░░░░░░░ his time prior to ░░░░░░░░ elected president But these ░░░░░░░░ 850 boxes Jake are ░░░░░░░░ 1 850 classified boxes ░░░░░░░░ they are are boxes ░░░░░░░░ records from his 36 ░░░░░░░░ in the U S ░░░░░░░░ Senators unlike presidents own ░░░░░░░░ own offices records They ░░░░░░░░ do whatever they want ░░░░░░░░ usually donate them to ░░░░░░░░ They can burn them ░░░░░░░░ can give them to ░░░░░░░░ by whatever So he ░░░░░░░░ them And contrary to ░░░░░░░░ s claim that Biden ░░░░░░░░ t let anyone look ░░░░░░░░ these 1 850 boxes ░░░░░░░░ consented to two FBI ░░░░░░░░ of those records as ░░░░░░░░ Paula Reid reported and ░░░░░░░░ was no initial indication ░░░░░░░░ of February at least ░░░░░░░░ there was anything classified ░░░░░░░░ them So not only ░░░░░░░░ they not entirely classified ░░░░░░░░ was nothing classified as ░░░░░░░░ as the initial search ░░░░░░░░ TAPPER Just throwing stuff ░░░░░░░░ the wall to see ░░░░░░░░ sticks I guess Alright ░░░░░░░░ Dale and congratulations on ░░░░░░░░ newest Dale Dale
