I mean, in fairness, the report did find that he broke the law, but the investigator declined to prosecute based on his findings. Decline to prosecute =/= found no laws were broken.
Edit for the butthurt: page 1, paragraph 2 of the report:
“Our investigation uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen.”
As others have said, whether they could establish mens rea in a court of law is another question. But they found evidence of willfulness.

Funny, aren’t we innocent until proven guilty?
so if i watch someone rob a 7-11 I cannot say “they broke the law” until they’ve been proven guilty?
Yes
