The Daily Signal - INTERVIEW | Rep. Jim Banks on Politicization of DOJ: Bidens, Top Dems Play by ‘Different Set of Rules’

Classified documents from Joe Biden’s time as vice president were found Nov. 2, six days before the midterm elections, in Biden’s private office at the Penn Biden Center in Washington. The Biden administration didn’t announce the discovery, which was reported first Monday by CBS News.

Biden commented briefly Tuesday, saying he was “surprised to learn that there were any government records that were taken there to that office.” 

Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed a Trump-appointed U.S. attorney to investigate what happened. 

“It would be funny if it weren’t so serious, right?” Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., asks during an interview on “The Daily Signal Podcast,” adding:

What the Biden administration said about Donald Trump and the FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago, and the classified documents [stored there] that they won’t actually tell us what they really were, and then the same thing happens to Joe Biden, his vice presidential records going to the Biden Center, which, by the way, was funded by over $60 million from the Chinese Communist Party.


On the podcast, Banks adds: 

There are two sets of rules in America today: one for anyone named Biden, Obama, or Clinton, and then a different set of rules for the rest of us. And so, because of that two sets of rules and the lack of impartiality by the Biden administration, their DOJ, that’s what we should be investigating.

Banks also discusses the four-day fight over choosing a speaker of the House, what he hopes Republicans will focus on in the 118th Congress, and whether he will spearhead any investigations.
