DAVID MARCUS: The DOJ probe of Biden stinks to high heaven – don’t expect liberal media to notice

It must be nice to be Joe Biden.

When the Justice Department lost patience with Donald Trump, who was storing classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, they launched an unprecedented Hollywood-style raid on the former president’s home – complete with 30 federal agents and a comprehensive search of Melania’s wardrobe.

But when it turns out that Biden was keeping secret material in his personal office and Delaware garage alongside his prized Corvette — suddenly it’s like Seinfeld’s Uncle Leo stealing from the bookstore, ‘I’m an old man!’

Spare me.

Where was the raid on Wilmington?

Unfortunately, the horses have now bolted the barn. The opportunity to conduct a credible investigation has passed. The special counsel probe has been spoiled and the bungling Justice Department has bungled another one.

Think I’m overreacting?

Listen to none other than Andrew Weissman, the FBI lawyer appointed to help Robert Mueller run the special counsel investigation into Trump:

‘Why did Biden counsel do the searches of his home/garage, and not the FBI/DOJ?,’ he tweeted last week. ‘Or at least invite them to participate, or consent to the FBI/DOJ doing the searches? And why the search delays and no prompt public disclosure?’

Now that Attorney General Merrick Garland has appointed an independent investigator to handle this, Biden’s hand-picked document recovery team has reportedly been sidelined.

But we are compelled to demand: Why has taken the DOJ this long to get serious?

Let’s review exactly what has happened thus far – to demonstrate just how sloppy this whole ordeal has become.

On November 2nd, lawyers emptying Biden’s office at the Penn Biden Center in Washington DC allegedly happened upon classified documents.

They alerted the National Archives, who informed the DOJ. No one told the public anything as the country voted in the November 8th midterms.

On November 9th the FBI started a preliminary investigation. In December, more documents turned up. This time at Biden’s Wilmington home.

That apparently lit a fire under the U.S. attorney tapped to look into this mess and he recommended Garland appoint a special counsel.

Still, the American people hadn’t heard a peep until January 9th, that is, when CBS News reported on the November discovery.

On January 10th, Biden faced reporters’ questions for the first-time and he was shocked, shocked like Claude Rains in Casablanca, to discover that there were classified documents.

He played it off like some weird accident, all the while the White House knew that classified material had also been found in his Delaware garage.

That seems like the kind of thing that a forthright and honest administration might mention. But they didn’t.

On January 11th, the garage docs were made public. And finally on January 12th, Garland announced the special counsel investigation.

So, from November 2nd to January 11th, Biden’s personal lawyers had free rein to search for, move, identify, scatter around and – maybe, just maybe – tamper with classified documents. 

This weekend, the White House revealed that even more secret info was found in Wilmington, even after White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Thursday, ‘the search is complete.’

How disorganized is this operation? Were the nuclear secrets mixed up the junk mail?

The American people lost their patience with this law enforcement ineptitude a long time ago.

Is Garland telling us that he trusted Biden’s team to turnover everything they had and spill all the beans no matter how damaging they may be?

America knows how Hillary Clinton handled that responsibility.

Clinton’s operatives deleted more than 30,000 emails stored on her unsecured, unauthorized private server when she was secretary of State. Clinton claimed the emails were ‘personal and private,’ an FBI investigation later determined that many of them were not.

To this day, there are serious unanswered questions about that investigation – and here we go again.

Repeatedly, we’ve heard from The White House, Democrats and many in the media that Biden has been ‘cooperating’ with the Justice Department. That’s what differentiates Biden’s case from Trump’s, they say. That’s why it wasn’t necessary for the DOJ to secure a warrant and march into Biden’s home.

Really it seems like the DOJ has been cooperating with Biden and not the other way around.

I’m no lawyer, but I am familiar with the concept of a pristine crime scene. A good investigator would likely object to his suspect fiddling with the evidence for two months.

Remember that when the FBI waltzed into Mar-a-Lago, they recorded exactly where the documents they discovered were found.

Federal agents found materials in Trump’s desk. We were all treated to a tastefully photographed sampling of top-secret papers arrayed on the floor. An FBI ‘property inventory’ revealed a comprehensive laundry list of what they found, how it was stored and where.

Where’s the corresponding inventory for Biden? The answer is – there isn’t one. Biden’s team did all the discovering.

This whole thing stinks to high heaven but don’t expect our media to notice, notorious Democrat apologist Joy Behar just about summed it up on The View last week saying, ‘Trump is a liar and a thief, so it’s not that big a jump to say that he obstructed and he lied. We don’t think that Biden is a liar and a thief so we give him the benefit of the doubt.’

See how this works? It’s not very subtle.

Not to mention the fact that Joseph Robinette Biden is the most egregious fabulist in the history of American politics. He has lied about his college grades, being arrested in South Africa, driving big rigs and being a civil rights warrior. Oh – and he’s a known plagiarist.

But this guy gets the benefit of the doubt?

This is a body of water that Democrats are now trying to walk on, but it’s the same one they sought to drown Trump in.

As GOP Sen. Josh Hawley put it, ‘In President Trump’s case, that retention [of documents] triggered an unprecedented raid on the home of a former president, rationalized with a thicket of partisan doublespeak, President Biden has not experienced anything remotely similar.’

Justice is supposed to be blind, but in today’s America it seems to be peeking when it comes to Biden and Democrats, if not flat out flirtatiously winking at them.

The cracks in the integrity of this investigation are too glaring to ignore. And the American people deserve good answers – now!
