Washington, D.C. - Rep. Barry Moore has criticized the Department of Justice (DOJ) for what he sees as a double standard in the handling of classified documents involving President Joe Biden. In a statement released today, Moore expressed his disappointment with special counsel Robert Hur's report, which exonerated President Biden in the DOJ classified documents case.

According to the report, President Biden "willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency." However, the special counsel recommended no charges against him. This decision has raised questions about the fairness of the justice system, particularly in comparison to former President Donald Trump's case.

Moore stated, "Special counsel Hur acknowledges in his report that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency yet recommends no charges. The American people know another sweetheart deal when they see it. In the same situation, you get indicted if your name is Trump and you get off scot-free if your name is Biden. No one can deny we have a two-tiered justice system."

The congressman's comments reflect a growing concern among some individuals who believe that there is a bias within the DOJ. The contrasting treatment of President Trump and President Biden in similar situations has led to allegations of a double standard. Critics argue that this discrepancy undermines public trust in the justice system and raises questions about its impartiality.

It is important to note that the DOJ's decision to not pursue charges against President Biden was based on his "poor memory." This justification has drawn criticism, with some arguing that it sets a dangerous precedent. Critics suggest that if memory lapses can be used as a defense, it opens the door for others to avoid accountability for their actions.

The debate surrounding the DOJ's handling of classified documents involving President Biden is likely to continue. As the issue gains attention, it will undoubtedly fuel discussions about the fairness and integrity of the justice system. The concerns raised by Rep. Barry Moore highlight the need for transparency and consistency in the application of the law, regardless of political affiliation or position.

In a time when trust in institutions is paramount, the handling of high-profile cases like this one can have far-reaching implications. It is essential for the DOJ to address these concerns and provide clear explanations for its decisions. Only then can the public have confidence in the integrity of the justice system.
