Biden had a few documents. Trump had 13,000 government documents,
of which 300 were classified.
We’ve all made mistakes - every country has.
IDIOTA!!!

Biden said: “All the stuff that was in my home was in filing cabinets
that were either locked or able to be locked.”
Facts First: Biden’s claim is not true. The special counsel’s report
says that while some of the classified documents were found in cabinet
drawers in Biden’s Delaware home, other classified documents, about
Afghanistan, were found in an “unsealed” and “badly damaged” box sitting
in his garage alongside an assortment of other items the special counsel
described as “household detritus.” The report includes a photo of the box.
Biden claimed of the documents he possessed: “None of it was high
classified. It didn’t have any of that red stuff on it, you know what I
mean, around the corners? None of that.”
Facts First: Biden’s claim that none of the classified material found in
his possession was highly classified is false, according to details
provided by the special counsel. Hur reported the discovery of documents
in Biden’s possession that had markings identifying them as “Top
Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information,” a very high level of
classification – plus handwritten notebooks from Biden’s time as vice
president that weren’t marked as classified but that “contain
information that remains classified up to the Top Secret/Sensitive
Compartmented Information level.”
Hur said in the report that Biden disclosed classified material from his
notebooks to the ghostwriter, Mark Zwonitzer, who worked with him on a
2017 memoir called “Promise Me, Dad.” But Biden categorically denied
that he had shared classified information with the ghostwriter, saying
he can “guarantee” he didn’t.
When a reporter responded that the special counsel said he did, Biden
responded, “No, they did not say that. He did not say that.”
Facts First: Biden’s claim is false. Hur did say that, writing
explicitly that “Mr. Biden shared information, including some classified
information, from those notebooks with his ghostwriter.” He elaborated
that Biden shared classified information with his ghostwriter by reading
“nearly verbatim” from his notebooks “on at least three occasions,”
including his “notes from meetings in the Situation Room.”
Hur did find, however, that Biden “at times” tried to avoid sharing
classified information, by stopping at or skipping over certain material
from the notebooks. And he wrote that “the evidence does not show that
when Mr. Biden shared the specific passages with his ghostwriter, Mr.
Biden knew the passages were classified and intended to share classified
information.”
Hur wrote that in one recorded conversation with the ghostwriter in
2017, at the Virginia home where Biden then lived, Biden read from his
notebook about a National Security Council meeting about Iraq in 2015,
then told the ghostwriter about a 2009 memo he had written to Obama
arguing against the deployment of more troops to Afghanistan – and then
said, “I just found all the classified stuff downstairs.” Hur noted that
more than five years later, investigators found classified documents
about the Afghanistan troop surge in Biden’s Delaware garage.
