In a shocking revelation that has left the national security community in disbelief, it has been reported that there will be no charges brought against President Biden for possessing classified documents as a private citizen. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Mike Turner has called this news “devastating” and has condemned the Department of Justice for what he sees as a “two-tier system of justice” in the Biden administration.
It’s no secret that President Biden has a history of mishandling classified information. As a former senator and vice president, he was found to have hoarded classified materials for years, creating a dangerous situation for our nation’s security. Despite this, he has managed to evade any consequences, leading many to believe that the Justice Department is deliberately protecting Democrats.

Compare this to the treatment of former President Donald Trump, who faced charges for violating the Espionage Act when he failed to return all classified documents after leaving office. The double standard is glaringly obvious, and Chairman Turner is not afraid to call it out.
The lack of accountability for President Biden’s actions is expected to fuel further scrutiny from Republicans, as the House Judiciary Committee conducts its own investigation into the matter. This parallel probe has drawn criticism from the White House, with accusations that Republicans are engaging in a “baseless fishing expedition” to tarnish the president’s reputation for political gain. But the American people deserve to know the truth, and no one should be above the law.
The decision not to pursue charges against President Biden is a disheartening blow to the integrity of our justice system. It sends a dangerous message that some individuals are immune to the same standards that apply to others. The national security of our country should never be compromised for the sake of political expediency, and it’s time for accountability to be upheld, regardless of one’s position or party affiliation.
