Congressional hearing on the Biden classified documents probe turns into a proxy campaign battle

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

67% : "The need to show my work was especially strong here," Hur said.
46% : The hearing played out as both Biden and Trump were on the cusp of claiming their parties' nominations, and the party lines calcified almost immediately over which leader meant to hang on to classified documents, or rather, who "willfully" retained them -- and who didn't.
31% : Hur, in his report, detailed how his findings about Biden were far different from those of special counsel Jack Smith about Trump, who has been charged with willfully retaining classified documents.
29% : Republicans, meanwhile, insisted Trump was being unfairly singled out and vilified, questioning how the two cases were really all that different.
22% : Republicans argued Biden was being given a pass by his own Justice Department and that Trump had been unfairly victimized by prosecutors.
19% : Democrats, for their part, stressed Biden's cooperation in the investigation and strongly contrasted that with the separate criminal case against Trump, who refused to return classified documents requested by the National Archives that he had at his Florida estate.
19% : Trump hyped Tuesday as a "Big day in Congress for the Biden Documents Hoax," while casting himself as being unfairly targeted.
16% : Trump, by contrast, is accused of enlisting the help of aides and lawyers to conceal the documents from the government and seeking to have potentially incriminating evidence destroyed.
12% : ""Donald Trump's being prosecuted for exactly the same act that you documented Joe Biden committed," he told Hur.
5% : Democrats started off their questioning by hitting hard at the contrast between Biden and Trump, focusing more on the latter's criminal case.
