    Biden cooperated with record requests. Why didn’t Trump? The only reason Biden was investigated was so that your side could use it as a talking point about how they are both the same when they are not.

    It is very common for some records to need to be returned during and after a presidency. It is NOT AT ALL common for presidents to refuse those requests. THAT is the difference.

      It’s telling that you are choosing to move the goalposts all the way over there.

        We agree here, although it has nothing to do with my argument. Keeping the documents is the crime, not refusing to give them back.
