Hey, at least I can understand the difference between collusion and conspiracy, unlike apparently 75% of this board. Also, if Biden does the stuff Trump did, he should be investigated too. The FBI was right to investigate Hillary as well. I just don’t get why people are so eager to shill for a loser like Trump.

Ok, so that's obviously a dumb straw man argument, so par for the course here at PPP. My assumption had been that the boxes were included with their personal effects when they were moved out of the White House, which they clearly shouldn't have been. The idea that this is all the fault of the GSA sorta falls apart when Trump was notified about the documents and still fought to avoid returning them. So even if they had been brought to MAL accidentally and without Trump's knowledge, he was definitely in the wrong for not returning them when he was notified. Also, how does "the GSA messed up and sent these documents to MAL without Trump knowing" square with "Trump declassified these specific documents before leaving office"?

Oh my god. Read like, just the intro to the actual report. Mueller straight up said he wasn't even evaluating on the basis of collusion because it is legally not a thing. Like, I know the report is long, but you don't need to read the whole thing. Just like, one paragraph. It can't be that hard, can it? Here, I will make it easier for you. I'll give you the actual text where Mueller himself states that they are not looking at collusion: Page 2 of the Mueller Report Just page 2. You don't even have to make it to page 3 to realize the statement "Mueller found that there was no collusion" is complete BS.

I know. It's crazy that there are so many people out there who deny that the Trump campaign worked with Russians despite more than 100 contacts between the campaign and the Russians. And somehow, people still believe that Trump is innocent of everything despite clear evidence that he has committed several crimes. I guess people just pick their team and they just trust everything they are told that supports their team and ignore anything that doesn't fit their worldview. It's unfortunate, but here we are.

Just want to point out that, under your theory, Joe Biden can leave the White House with all of our secrets and once he’s just a private citizen, he and Hunter can use them to make enough money for all the blow and crack they could ever want. That would be totally legal and aboveboard if your theory is correct. Frankly, I find that idea hard to get behind.

It is DoJ policy not to comment on ongoing investigations because doing so could damage the person being investigated. Opening an investigation has a lower burden of proof than charging someone. Many (most?) investigations end without a charge. If you’re not going to charge someone with a crime then they have no way to defend themselves against whatever you make public. Trump has the warrant and the receipts. He could make them public but the DoJ cannot because doing so could harm Trump. Garland basically said that Trump had gone public with this so they think it’s ok to unseal the warrant from their end. Of course, Trump still can object to the unsealing if he wants. Basically, the policy of silence exists to protect the person being investigated

Ok, so is the theory that if the president moves classified material somewhere outside of the government, that this act alone serves to declassify the documents? So if Biden is going to McDonald’s with our military secrets in his pocket, they would be declassified if he ate inside but not if he went through the drive through?
