Do the Trump Espionage Charges Present a Problem for Biden?

Barbara Lucas from 1945 has an interesting point when it comes to the indictment of President Trump under the Espionage Act.

The historic 37-count federal indictment against former President Donald Trump for allegedly mishandling classified information establishes mostly a case for violation of the 1917 Espionage Act–31 of those counts. Most of the rest is about obstruction or conspiracy to obstruct. 

So far, Joe Biden’s defenders have maintained the current president has, in contrast to Trump, been entirely cooperative with the investigators regarding his classified documents.

If Biden was cooperative, maybe no obstruction charges. That would still leave the president wide open for potential violation of the Espionage Act

Joe Biden Just Proved How Stupid He Is

Because the main line of defense for Biden was that he returned everything he should– but why did he have classified documents outside a SCIF when he was a Senator? And what about all those docs from when he was a Vice President?

The House Republicans have begun asking these questions, and you can be sure that there’s a desire to exact revenge for what’s happening to the former President of the United States.
