Fox News host Maria Bartiromo suggested Sunday that President Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents might constitute treason even though she has never once mentioned such a thing in connection with the thousands of documents disgraced former president Donald Trump took with him to Mar-a-Lago when he left office.
Speaking with Rep. James Comer (R-KY), Bartiromo asked what the congressman thought of the Biden situation. He replied:
“The White House isn’t being truthful with the American people. We need to know now who had access to those documents because our national security could be at risk.”
Bartiromo then inquired:
“Is this treason?”
Comer refused to go that far, noting:
“It’s — it’s very concerning. We’re not going to let up. I think that we’ve got plenty of information to move forward.”
In August of last year, Bartiromo gladly shared a video of Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) saying that the FBI was engaging in a “double standard” by daring to serve a search warrant at Trump’s Palm Beach golf resort.
If Bartiromo wants to know what is and isn’t treason, here’s a helpful primer she can reference anytime she has questions:
- Telling your supporters to attack the Capitol is inciting an insurrection.
- Allowing the Russian foreign minister and ambassador to know the details of highly classified information is treason.
- Illegally removing classified documents from the White House and then refusing to return them when instructed to do so is a violation of the Espionage Act.
Oh, and one other thing for Ms. Bartiromo: Those who defend actual traitors are in many ways just as guilty as the traitor himself.
Maybe it’s time to open an investigation of Maria and see where her true loyalties lie.
