The article discusses the past and present handling of classified information by public officials, specifically focusing on Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. It criticizes the lack of legal consequences for Clinton after she used unsecured email systems for classified information while serving as Secretary of State. FBI Director James Comey's decision not to recommend prosecution for Clinton is seen as an act of favoritism due to her political ties.
The piece outlines how Clinton's use of a private email server involved numerous violations of federal laws, citing that there was evidence she was “extremely careless” despite Comey's conclusion that no reasonable prosecutor would pursue charges. The author highlights that there were issues involving Top Secret/Special Access Program information in her emails, which should have led to prosecution.
The article then parallels Clinton's case with recent actions by Biden and his staff regarding classified information. It notes that Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken allegedly used unsecured email systems for discussing classified matters, raising concerns about their improper handling of sensitive information. The author questions the extent of these discussions and the implications for national security.
While acknowledging that previous actions by Clinton went unpunished, the author argues that Biden’s team should also face consequences for their illegal activities. However, he suggests that any investigation into Biden's actions should be publicized but should not lead to prosecutions, citing Biden's potential mental incompetence as a defense against legal action.
Instead, he recommends that security clearances for Biden and his staff should be revoked to protect national interests. The author believes that President-elect Trump should not pursue prosecutions, as it would harm the image of the United States as a democracy. In conclusion, publication of the mishandling of classified information by Biden and his staff, along with cancellation of their clearances, is proposed as an adequate response to their actions, allowing Trump to focus on more pressing matters.
