Former FBI assistant director Chris Swecker told Fox News Digital there is a 'glaring disparity' in how Biden and Trump are treated by the DOJ as it relates to classified materials.
Asked why the FBI is leaving the search of Biden's Delaware residence for additional classified materials to White House aides, Swecker said there should have already"been an open investigation" and that it reminds him of how the FBI treated former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who was able to avoid charges for her use of a private email server during her tenure.
"This is a continuation of that kid-gloves, soft touch that they have with things to the left of the political aisle," he said."On the right side, they come in with swat teams and search warrants and come hard. It shouldn't be that way." "I think it's bad for the FBI to go using search warrants to do that sorta thing," he added."They should subpoena and they should do this in a way that is short of conducting an outright raid. But that's not what they did with Trump – they just raided his Mar-a-Lago residence.… If it's good for Trump, it should have been good for Biden, as well. There is a disparity of how this very identical set of circumstances were handled.
At the time of the FBI's raid of Mar-a-Lago, prior to public knowledge that he also had classified materials stashed away from his time as vice president, President Biden questioned how Trump could be so "irresponsible."were in a much safer spot than those found in Biden's Delaware home, which served as his residence for the time between his role as vice president and president.
"I think they were safer at Mar-a-Lago, I mean it took an FBI swat team to get in there," he said."You can't get in the gate. I'm sure there was a log there because he was still under Secret Service protection. [They] were locked inside a closet, the hotel has got cameras and security, so it's buttoned down pretty doggone tight. They had made sure it was locked at the request of the archives and DOJ.
