Yes, it did. Both Trump and Biden violated the law by absconding with
classified documents. Biden even shared them with the writer who
ghost-wrote his book, someone who had no clearance at all, let alone
the TS-SCI clearance necessary to receive that information.

They should both be held accountable, but the DOJ let Biden off the
hook by declaring him an unprosecutable vegetable. So as long as
Biden is going to skate, it's only fitting that Trump does so as well.

That's not what was said but that isn't important. What is important
is Biden returned the documents he had of his own accord. Trump, on
the other hand, went out of his way to keep the documents he had to
the point of lying whether he had any documents when asked multiple
times if he had any and given the chance to return them. If he had
returned the documents he had when asked none of this would have
happened. Instead he lied and tried to hide the documents he had taken
to the point that the FBI had to come and get the documents.

Then they should have charged him with lying to the FBI-- that's what
they got Martha Stewart on-- but they didn't. They charged him with
illegally possessing the documents, something of which both Biden and
Trump are guilty. If one gets off, the other should, too.

Maybe in other cases, but in this one, what apparently made the
difference is that Biden is a dementia-addled mess.

Or that if he was charged and put on trial his age would make it hard
to convict him. Dementia-addled mess is something that you keep saying
but it isn't what was said as why they didn't charge him.

Yep Biden turned over the documents without a subpoena, and Trump didn't

 A Vice President may not take classifed documents under any situation.
It was a crime just to have him.  Giving them back is irrelevant to
this.
 

Neither can a President. Trump's bigger crime was obstruction by not giving them back when asked.
