The federal investigation into President Joe Biden's handling of classified documents has been notably slow in comparison to inquiries involving former Vice President Mike Pence and former President Donald Trump. This difference in pace can be likened to the contrast between a snail's pace and a rocket ship's speed. Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed a special counsel named Hur to investigate the matter after classified documents from the Obama administration were discovered in Biden's former office and residence, raising questions about organizational oversight.

President Biden has stated that he is "cooperating fully and completely" with the investigation. However, it's worth noting that Pence also cooperated with investigators by participating in an interview, resulting in his exoneration. The prolonged nature of Biden's case raises concerns about potential double standards, especially when compared to the swifter progression of Trump's investigation. The FBI conducted searches at Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence and interviewed key witnesses, demonstrating more expedited efforts.
Trump, in response, has attempted to draw parallels between his investigation and those involving Pence and Biden. However, there are distinct differences in their approaches. Biden promptly returned the documents to the government and allowed for property searches, whereas Trump's compliance required a warrant, highlighting potential mishandling of classified materials.
Interestingly, Biden's aides have expressed frustration over the appointment of a special counsel for Biden's case while none was designated for Pence's investigation. They perceive this as unequal treatment between the current and former presidents, even though fairness in life is not guaranteed. Meanwhile, Trump is pushing for a trial delay until after the 2024 election, a move seen by some as an attempt to manipulate the system. Special Counsel Jack Smith, however, remains resolute in proceeding with the trial as originally scheduled for May of the following year. Holding politicians accountable for their actions, or lack thereof, is a pivotal aspect of these investigations.
