Biden's rope-a-dope moment
`17 January 2023 By Kareem Abiodun Giwa
President Joseph Biden's visit to the border the previous week was surreal to many observers after all the time his administration showed no interest in the crossing by illegal immigrants seeking asylum. Many thought the president was forcibly born again because of the opposition's control of the House.
People now say recent events about classified documents kept a high secret from the public since November before the midterm election could be responsible because illegal possession could devastate government officials. The cause, they say, of Biden's current rope-dope struggle.
People remember recent issues about the government's secret documents concerning former President Donald Trump and how the FBI raided his home and searched his wife and teenage son's closets. Both Republicans and Democrats alike asked why did he keep them in his house?
Therefore, people are shocked hearing President Biden has secret documents in several places. Was this not the person who called his predecessor's act irresponsible? Is it not reprehensible he is in the same shoes? Republicans are condemning the president and how the Department of Justice has handled the case compared to Trump's. Conversely, Democrats are playing the Ostrich defending their man. They need to find out something called transparency. Comparing Trump's issue with Biden's in terms of quantity rather than the legality of their cases is delusional.
Nancy Pelosi said the president and his lawyers have cooperated with the Department of Justice and returned found documents to the National Archives. But, she expressed a need for more knowledge when asked why Americans had been in the dark since November, the December 20 discovery of more documents, and until after the January 14 continued secret documents in the president's closets.
The primary issue for curious observers pertains to a vice president's power and a president's power in handling secret documents. First, news reports say the president can declassify, but the vice president needs to have such ability. Secondly, the president can remove such documents after declassification, but the vice President cannot.
Is it illegal if the vice president removes such documents and liter across several locations? What happens to a former vice president, now a president, found to have stockpiled secret documents for over six years after his years as vice president? These are questions the public eagerly waits to know.
Another question needing an answer is why the DOJ kept the news of the November 2 finding of these papers in the University of Pennsylvania nonprofit office from Americans. While appointing a special counsel to look into Trump's document case, he kept information about Biden's case in his closet. Why the different standards in handling cases about two political parties? Didn't the DOJ know it favored one party against the other in the midterm election by concealing Biden's from the public?
Americans had expected the party in power to lose heavily in the elections, unaware there was a case that would have helped the opposition party. Republican Party was ready for oversight work despite its slim victory. Biden had provided the new power the house needed for oversight, beginning with his illegal mishandling of secret papers.
Democrats should blame no one but themselves for the uncontrolled ego and recklessness in tarring the opposition that has led them to a direction into a wasteland.But Biden and his officials can hide and seek and not talk; that will be before the Republicans drag their asses.
