Want a laugh after a not at all hard day of news? Great! Check out these scorching hot takes from back when the case against Trump was “doomed” because Joe unintentionally took documents too:
“The discovery of classified government documents in President Biden’s Wilmington, Del., garage should spell the end of any realistic prospect of criminal charges against former president Donald Trump over his Mar-a-Lago portfolio of pilferage” – January 13 piece by Washington Post Deputy opinion Editor Dave Von Drehle titled “If the Mar-a-Lago case collapses? Disaster dodged, America.”
“The news that the Justice Department is reviewing Obama Era classified documents found at a think tank tied to President Biden is quite a political gift to Donald Trump” – Chuck Todd on January 10th in a piece titled “Classified Biden documents hand political gift to Trump, GOP.”
“If you take the purely legalistic side of it and you get into the optics and the politics, what happened here is going to make it almost impossible to charge Donald Trump with any violation of classified documents” – CNN legal analyst John Miller on January 10th, transcript via Mediaite.
From @Axios: The pro-@JoeBiden, pro-Merrick Garland spin. Absurd. The regulations were just applied to Donald Trump, on his documents case, and an SC was named. The regs cannot yield a different result for a factually similar case against another candidate, @JoeBiden. pic.twitter.com/3F3R3npAVB

“Scratch another undoable item off Merrick Garland’s bucket list. He can forget prosecuting Donald Trump for taking presidential records with him when he departed the White House. It turns out the attorney general’s boss, Joe Biden, did the same thing when he departed the Obama administration. Classified documents were stashed inside a closet in a private office that he used in the years before he became president. Glaring hypocrisy aside, it would be difficult to justify criminally charging one president while turning a blind eye to the other. Legally, it would backfire. Politically, it would be poisonous” – Dipshit Fox News political analyst Gregg Jarrett on January 11th in a piece titled “Biden’s Stashed Classified Documents Could End Case Against Trump.”
“This neutralizes the issue, both within the Republican primary and in the event Trump emerges as the nominee for the 2024 general election” – GOP consultant Ken Spain on January 25, via Axios.
Wish we could find some more, but this discrete form of dumbassery isn’t exactly easy to search for on Google and Twitter given the strings in a query. But in a throwback to an old National Zero specialty, here’s a mini “Blue Revenge” from Trump fanboys commenting on Mediaite saying more or less the same bullshit.

They were never going to be able to indict Trump over it, but this is just the cherry on top.
