Cooperation With the Police Does Not Absolve You of a Crime

John Santucci of ABC News Live is reporting that because President Biden “cooperated” with the classified documents investigation, his case is different than the case brought against Donald Trump. Santucci is telling his viewers the investigation into Biden has been closed without charges being brought because of that cooperation.

I’m not sure where Santucci got his law degree or how he is coming by this information, but cooperating with the police DOES NOT absolve one of their crimes. Biden DID posses classified documents. Biden DID share those classified documents with others. His cooperation DOES NOT change those facts.

Not only is it disingenuous for a reporter to willingly provide misinformation, it is unethical.

The bias now seen in the American News Media is more aligned with political party propaganda than non partisan reporting. We’ve allowed the press way too much latitude in their “editorial reports.” Whether it’s The New York Times, Fox News, CNN or the three major network news outlets, the line between objective and prejudicial reporting has been blurred.

John Santucci should be ashamed of himself for providing such misinformation. While he is entitled to his own opinion, he is not entitled to his own facts or to mislead people. It is unfortunate that many will believe this nonsense.
