Leftist Joy Behar blasted for saying Biden gets 'the benefit of the doubt' over classified documents because he's not a 'liar and a thief' like Trump

A segment on Tuesday's show dealt with classified documents found last fall in Biden's private office at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington, D.C. Some of the documents reportedly are labeled "top secret."

"The View" played a CNN clip showing Florida Republican U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds criticizing how the Biden situation is being handled compared to when classified documents were found at Trump's Florida home in Mar-a-Lago.

New co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin interjected: "Absolutely no one's gonna like this take, but I'm gonna go there anyway. It is a big deal. I held a [top secret] security clearance; I would've been in prison if I took one classified document home."

Goldberg and Behar immediately went to bat for Biden again, saying he didn't actually take the documents home, and then Griffin acknowledged that "the facts are different than the Trump case."

"However," she added, "I think this is a huge win for Trump because if you're [U.S. Attorney General] Merrick Garland — who is already extremely cautious and doesn't want to break the long-standing precedent of not indicting a president — it's very hard to make the case that Donald Trump should be indicted for this, even though the facts are different ..."
