What's the difference between Biden and Trump's cases? The FBI took a decidedly more aggressive and invasive stance toward Trump, who in turn took a publicly aggressive stance toward DOJ.
The alleged crimes AND the levels behind-the-scenes cooperation are essentially the same.

New: Trump's document case & Biden's document case are fundamentally similar in most ways. While Democrats & the media argue Trump's offense is much worse, point for point (as we go through in this piece), that's not necessarily true. @dcexaminer washingtonexaminer.com/politics/biden

One nugget from this story: the White House does not appear to have released visitor logs in several months, despite Biden's team pointing to the existence of those logs as evidence they're transparent (to counter criticism of keeping no Wilmington logs).

A key point from : Investigators should compare the contents of classified records found at the Wilmington house to the contents of emails Hunter Biden sent to business partners.
If there's overlap, that would make this all far more serious

New: Justice Department officials will have the power to veto any document or interview requests from House Republicans to the National Archives -- meaning a key avenue for getting answers on the Biden classified document case could be closed.

If Republicans floated baseless theories like this about why Trump had classified papers, they would rightly be called unhinged

Yet another conservative journalist objecting to the Twitter bans. I can count on one hand the liberal employees at major media corporations who ever objected to Big Tech censorship before last night. They wanted more of it. This is what "principles" are:

Selectively banning voices for partisan or ideological reasons is bad no matter who does it and why. It's hard to see how @elonmusk can have credibility as a purveyor of free speech if he abuses the same tools his predecessors did in ways he criticized.
