Maturity Over Mar-a-Lago

By Sniffles

We cats heartily endorse DOJ's appointment of a Special Counsel to review the Biden classified documents situation. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. And in the "other" documents case, down at Mar-a-Lago, the goose is, we think, cooked.

Because Joe Biden and Donald Trump and the people who, respectively, work around them are as different as night and day/heads and tails/cats and dogs. Team Biden immediately turned the docs over and has cooperated fully. Team Trump has — well, you know, not.

So let the MAGA maniacs try to make a big deal out of this. We actually believe that it will redound to Biden's benefit, or at least, serve to highlight for those who may not have grasped it before the true awfulness of what Trump has done. (And we have yet to learn what, exactly, Trump was up to. The possibilities send chills down our spines. Maybe we'll find out if/when Jack Smith brings charges.)

Are we being too optimistic? It's possible. But Trump just went on another unhinged rant against Smith — even more rant-y than before. You'd think he would have tried to take a victory lap over the Biden-docs story, but he didn't. What's going on? Trump sounds like a defendant who's been told he's in a world of trouble. We'll see. We cats PURR.

UPDATE: A very smart tweep we follow has said it better: "President Biden should welcome the appointment of a Special Counsel. He can seriously put the screws to Trump by publicly cooperating on every level, including personally interviewing with the DOJ. Uncle Joe should treat this as a gift and act accordingly." We cats PURR again.
