Oh boy here come the false equivalencies. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/biden-center-classified-documents/
Let's just get out in front of this, shall we?
1) Is it equally bad that #classified info was taken home by Trump & Biden? Yes, but sadly not unheard of. Transitions are messy. That's why nobody ever really argued that the initial removal from the WH was criminal.
2) Then why would Trump be prosecuted but probably not Biden? Because the second Biden's team discovered the material, they moved to return it. Trump OTOH fought ...

and continues to fight against returning the material. THAT'S the crime. Trump was INFORMED that he had national defense information and he refused to return it. THAT'S why it's different. Anyone who tells you different is actively trying to mislead you.

As I read Justice Stevens’ words, his powerful fight against what he knew would be allowing the speech of Tokyo Rose—an enemy propagandist—equal weight of Allied commanders, I realized we’ve been allowing ‘Tokyo Rose’ to bleed into our homes, computers, cell phones, without any defense.
Thomas Jefferson in 1816 knew better—that you don’t coronate corporations.

Now that some of Trump's tax returns have been released, we know he paid only $750 in 2016 and 2017, and nothing at all in 2020. Did you pay more than Trump in those years?

In Iran, there are unofficial reports that Mohammad Ghobadlou and Mohammad Broghan have been taken from solitary confinement and won't be executed, today.
Who knows what made the authorities change their minds. Perhaps it was the the hundreds of protesters outside the prison in the early hours of the morning, chanting:
"I will kill whoever kills my brother!"
"This is the final warning; there will be a rebellion if you execute!"
