"Every single thing I talk about, I pay for, by making sure, for the first time, the wealthy begin to pay what they should be paying," Biden said on Sept. 9. "We’re not going to punish anybody. No one making under $400,000, which is more money than I’ve ever made, is going to have to pay more taxes." Biden.
The Biden Campaign said Biden was referring to his full-time salaries, annually as a public official. Also, neither as a New Castle, Del., county council member nor as a U.S. senator, claimed had he ever made more than $400,000 annually.

But, Biden is portrayed as a kindly old man, and forgetful who failed to properly protect highly sensitive classified information, no harm no foul?
Biden wrongly kept these documents, he shared sensitive classified information in his memoir. Biden wasn't President when he did these things. Yet Hur wrote he'd not be good in front of a jury, being an elderly man, “with a poor memory.” Biden's lawyers weakly "objected."
Shades of Comey saying he wouldn't prosecute Hillary (who also was NOT President) for a similar mishandling of documents, claiming no one would take the case. Not to mention all her own ploys.
Meanwhile, Trump who most decidedly WAS President is being constantly persecuted and now prosecuted as harshly as the Left can manage.
You could cut the hypocrisy with a spoon.
Not for nothing... Trump lost hundreds of millions by becoming President. Trump grew poorer in the Whitehouse, where as Biden... his net worth has increased substantially as ROTUS (Resident of the United States).

"After cashing in during the Trump era, Joe Biden is once again taking a government paycheck. That’s not stopping him from continuing to add millions to his fortune."
