The discovery of multiple sets of classified documents at President Biden’s old offices reveals how ridiculous the accusations were against President Trump last year and how unnecessary the unprecedented FBI raid on his Mar-a-Lago residence, but rather than enjoy the show even some so-called conservatives can’t resist taking unnecessary shots at the former President.
