Trump FLIPS After Hearing No Charges Against Biden Over Classified Docs
Of course Trump is freaking out over the fact that President Biden will not be charged in his classified documents case.
- 8 minutes
This morning, Donald Trump responded
to the news about the lack of charges
coming Joe Biden's way
and the classified documents case
saying, wow, fake news, CNN through a leak
through the Department of Injustice.
See what I did there?
Has just reported that no charges will
be filed in the much bigger than mine
[00:00:18]
Crooked Joe Biden documents case.
We are living in a very corrupt country,
and I feel
like that really says everything.
I feel like it says everything
about the documents.
And if you read between the parentheses,
it might say even more than that.
But he decided to double and triple
down true thing, prosecutorial misconduct
[00:00:36]
and selective prosecution,
which I don't even think is inaccurate.
But like, yeah, you select who you
prosecute based on the crimes they commit.
You don't just prosecute everyone
like you did.
The bad thing I shouldn't
be prosecuted for that.
You'll notice that they're also not
prosecuting Joe Biden for the crimes
[00:00:53]
of the Trump Organization, or trying
to overthrow the government, or that sort
of thing, like you did those things.
He did a much smaller version of it
and was tripping over himself not just
because of his advanced age, but also
because he wanted to be helpful, whereas
you were hiding documents and flying them
across the country and handing some over,
[00:01:09]
and then keeping the rest back, and then
trying to get your lackeys to do your
dirty work and hiding them in different
places like it is such a different case.
I get that he has to performatively freak
out, but I think that reasonable people
understand the difference.
First of all, I got to say, John,
that your Trump impression is so good that
[00:01:28]
I was having I was having a PTSD moment.
I was just like, oh God,
is he really here?
Thank you. So thank you.
And no thank you for that.
But also, yeah, I mean, he's just
he's such a whiny like, second grader.
[00:01:45]
You know, this just reminds me of,
like, someone in the play field
who gets in trouble for tripping
other kids, being like, but he.
But he brought peanuts
at lunch or something.
You know what I mean?
[00:02:00]
Like, he's just like, dude,
it's apples and oranges.
Like, stop being like, why?
Why am I the one getting in trouble?
Because I'm the one tripping people
on purpose when he's not.
He's getting he's not getting
in trouble because he didn't.
[00:02:16]
Yeah, it's apples and peanuts in that way
Sharon I agree.
And you know, it said that the white House
declined, of course, to comment on this.
And I just started thinking,
I wonder if there's ever been a time
where Donald Trump was asked for a comment
and he declined, or if there's ever been
[00:02:33]
a time where he hasn't just volunteered
to say something ridiculous and stupid,
these were enough of an investigation.
Hunter Biden was even.
I'm surprised he didn't bring that up.
Hunter Biden was even talked
to about the documents
and it was like, didn't even live there.
[00:02:48]
I just used it on my driver's license.
So it's going to be what it's going to be.
Yeah, yeah.
They in total interviewed about 100 aides,
colleagues and family members,
including, as you said, Hunter Biden.
They did a two day interview
with the president like 100 people.
[00:03:05]
It's what did you what was the second day?
Sharon, you were so right.
This is such a freaking waste of money.
You know what I mean?
Like, and it's like,
we don't have this money.
Like, we need this money.
There's, you know, there's a billion
things that we could have used
[00:03:23]
this money for that was more useful
than spending all this time and effort
and taxpayer dollars being like.
So, you know, where were you
when we found the one rando document.
[00:03:41]
- Under.
- His shoe?
And by the way, look,
we're going to get to a little bit more
of people freaking out, but it's just like
you're saying, you're pointing out that it
seems unnecessary, that so much time
and attention and money should be put
into this, but also, like, it didn't.
None of this had
to be anything like Donald Trump.
[00:03:58]
Easily could have just complied
three months, six months,
a year after leaving office.
He could have just shipped the documents
back and that would have been it.
I know this is going to blow the mind
of the MAGA world,
but the FBI was not like, like chomping
at the bit to raid Mar a Lago.
[00:04:14]
That is politically dangerous
in the country that we live in.
So he easily could
have gotten out of this.
And and if anything, like we've made
the point from the beginning, I can only
speak for myself that if all the
different things he's being accused of,
like even though he has done way more than
Biden, this is not as significant a thing
[00:04:32]
as some of the fraud, let alone trying
to overturn the election or,
you know, blackmail Ukraine or whatever.
Those are worse things.
We didn't need this.
Like, this is not
Trump Derangement syndrome.
This is self-destructive behavior
from a person who is so arrogant
[00:04:49]
and stupid and shortsighted and unable to,
like, admit when he's wrong,
that he, like, opts into prosecutions
that he really doesn't need can.
Considering all the other things
he's being accused of.
So it's just it's so needless.
[00:05:04]
And if I was a member of the MAGA base, I
would be so frustrated with him, with all
the things that I want you to accomplish.
You know, like there's whole like
marginalized communities
you could be wiping out and instead
you decide to own goal on this.
[00:05:20]
Dude, it's just it's embarrassing.
But that said, before we get into more
commentary, I want to give you a little
bit more of the reactions from the right.
So why don't we launch into Sean
Hannity responding to this?
According to media leaks, Joe Biden,
he's going to get off scot free.
Listen to this.
[00:05:35]
On the classified document case
that is now about to come to a close.
Joe Biden's own DOJ
will not charge him with anything.
Apparently, that's not a surprise.
We know that they have been
politicized and weaponized, but guess why?
[00:05:50]
Because his name is not Trump.
It's not, you know, a conservative.
Sad charges against Hunter Biden.
Just as a reminder.
And also what about her name her
the Trump appointed special counsel.
Again, it would be one thing if there
was a person on the right, be it a Sean
[00:06:07]
Hannity or whoever in the establishment
right or the independent right, which is
the exact same thing, who would go through
all of what we would list as evidence
of what makes these cases different?
So Donald Trump spent 18 months
trying to avoid giving them back.
He'd give some back
and he'd keep the rest and he'd lie.
[00:06:24]
And he didn't want to give the footage
and all of the stuff that he did.
And then Biden, like going out of his way
to try to give the documents back
and being super helpful and all of that.
If they had any intellectual honesty,
they would go through all of that
and show how those actually are not like,
like differences, distinctions
[00:06:42]
with a difference, like it doesn't matter.
At the end of the day, if Biden was
helpful, he still had the documents.
It's that they don't engage with any of
the evidence, because that would require
talking about what Trump did.
And it is literally indefensible through
their actions, through their unwillingness
[00:06:58]
to talk about this topic,
they're showing that they think
it is indefensible and they don't want
to have to defend it because they'll look
as buffoonish as Donald Trump.
So they just complain.
They bleed about weaponization
and selective prosecution and all that.
But reasonable people
who are not like rabid Team Biden people,
[00:07:16]
that is not who I am, can at least
see the distinctions between these.
Any other comments from from YouTube,
starting with you, Helen.
I'm certainly not a rabid
Team Biden person, but but yeah,
this is all ridiculous.
And and again, to your point about
the special counsel, special counsel her
[00:07:36]
who is a Trump appointee like, hello,
this is not like, you know, this team was
stacked with lefties that are like,
oh yeah, we're going to give him a pass.
Like the guy running the show
was a Trump appointee.
[00:07:51]
Like that should be the end of it.
Like the Trump guy was like,
yeah, there's enough there's
not enough here to prosecute.
- Sorry I tried.
- Yeah.
Period.
That should have been the end of it.
I just think it's unfair, John,
that you want Sean Hannity
[00:08:07]
to investigate this thing.
It's an hour show, okay?
The channel's only on 24 hours a day.
And these little details.
The audience is not interested
in absorbing all that.
There's no time.
You got to get into
the nutcrackers and stuff.
You know, there's a lot
to fit into the rundown.
