Republicans slammed the Biden administration over double standards when it comes to how President Biden handled the classified documents.
Recently, Republicans exposed the DOJ for double standards and compared how the department treated Biden and former President Donald Trump.
This came after Democrats and the DOJ relentlessly panned Trump for how he handled the classified documents following the end of his administration.
Now, the Republicans are returning serve following the discovery of a “small number” of files under the Obama’s administration, that were found at Biden’s president’s office at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement at the University of Pennsylvania.
More classified documents Biden took from the Obama White House have been found at Biden's Delaware house next to his Corvette. Biden assures the public it's OK because his garage is locked…

So, when's the FBI raid?
More documents were also found in Biden’s Wilmington, Del., home’s garage and a third set of documents were found at his home on Thursday.
Amid the controversy, the Republicans blasted both investigators and how they obtained the documents. They also slammed after the discovery was not publicized.
“Where’s the raid on Biden’s garage?” House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) said in a tweet, referring to the August raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence.
“Now, we learn that Biden kept additional classified materials at his home in Delaware in his GARAGE. Yet there was no raid. No ransacking of Biden’s home. Nothing,” Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) said in a statement.
In an exclusive report published by The Hill, it was revealed that “there are differences in Biden and Trump’s situations, to be sure. The sheer number of documents Trump kept — more than 300 — is significantly higher than what was found in Biden’s possession. And Trump showed little indication that he was willing to turn them over to the FBI and the National Archives, which led to the raid at his Florida home.”
“Those distinctions, however, did little to assuage top Republicans,” the report added.
Moreover, Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) also called the situation as “another faux pas by the Biden administration” by “treating law differently based upon your political beliefs.”
“Treats one President Trump one way but treats President Biden a whole different way. That’s why we had to provide a new entity from our Church-style [committee] to look after the weaponization of what’s gone on that you want an equal playing of the law to all Americans.” McCarthy told reporters on Thursday.
