Jump to postThe difference is that Trump legally held the power to declassify, and claims they were declassified. The problem with the DOJ's investigation is that the declassification claim can't be easily disproven, and any limits on declassification haven't been tested in court. Here is how declassification ...
Jump to postI would expect Biden to own up to this if a mistake was made. I doubt it was anything other than a mistake, and the investigation should demonstrate that.

But have they? Crime is up all across the country, not just NYC. But, as long as Democrats can be blamed, blame them and hold no one else at all (especially MAGA Republicans) responsible in any way.
