https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/09/politics/joe-biden-classified-documents-upenn/index.html Uhoh...Seems like Biden's not following the classified document rules either.
get ready to watch the news and hear Biden's comments on Trump's retention of classified documents from Sept over and over again... Seriously if I was a politician I would keep my mouth shut because the minute you dump on an opponent, they find the same shit on you haha
President Biden has stated that taking classified documents from the White House is irresponsible. Under the Biden Administration, the Department of Justice and National Archives have made compliance with the Presidential Records Act a top priority.
Biden’s team immediately notified NARA once they found them, and now an investigation has been opened up. It’s a lot different to intentionally hiding the documents and not complying with subpoenas.
Avenatti, Biden knowingly and willing, illegally stored these documents. The only difference between this and the Trump incident is that Trump was President and had a need to know. Biden was Vice President and had no need to know and he did not have the authority to remove them in the first place.
So in summary, NARA provided these vice-presidential documents which were sent to his think-tank university office - they were not taken by Biden when he left office. Many years later, classified documents were found among the documents stored at this location. After this, the think-tank office followed the law to the letter, immediately informed NARA, handed over the classified documents, and fully cooperated with the investigation. Any rational person should see how this is different then what Trump did --- Trump hid the classified documents after illegally taking them when he left office, refused to hand them over, ignored court orders and claims he "verbally" declassified them (which is not possible under law).
You aint kidding. Every one of these snakes is guilty of the same stuff they go after their opponents on. And fools on both sides of the aisle focus on going after each other rather than attacking the system that allows the snakes to prosper.
More information and details on this situation... US intelligence materials related to Ukraine, Iran and UK found in Biden’s private office, source tells CNN https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/10/poli...kraine-united-kingdom-beau-funeral/index.html Among the items from Joe Biden’s time as vice president discovered in a private office last fall are 10 classified documents including US intelligence memos and briefing materials that covered topics including Ukraine, Iran and the United Kingdom, according to a source familiar with the matter. Attorney General Merrick Garland has received a preliminary report on the documents inquiry, a law enforcement source said, and now faces the critical decision on how to proceed, including whether to open a full-blown criminal investigation. The documents were dated between 2013 and 2016, according to the source familiar. They were found in three or four boxes also containing unclassified papers that fall under the Presidential Records Act. The vast majority of the items in the office contained personal Biden family documents, including materials about Beau Biden’s funeral arrangements and condolence letters, the source told CNN. It is not clear if the boxes with classified documents contained personal materials. Attorney General Merrick Garland has assigned the US attorney in Chicago, a holdover from the Trump administration, to investigate the matter, CNN previously reported. Garland made this move after receiving a referral from the National Archives and Records Administration. The documents were discovered on November 2, just six days before the midterm elections, but the matter only became public Monday due to news reports. The source told CNN that a personal lawyer for Biden was closing out the downtown DC office that Biden used as part his work with the University of Pennsylvania. The lawyer saw a manila folder that was labeled “personal,” opened the envelope and noticed there were classified documents inside. The lawyer closed the envelope and called NARA, the source said. After making contact with NARA, Biden’s team turned over several boxes in an abundance of caution, even though many of the boxes contained personal materials, the source said. US attorney has submitted preliminary findings to Garland The US attorney in Chicago, John Lausch Jr., has already completed the initial part of his inquiry and provided his preliminary findings to Garland, a law enforcement source said. That means Garland now must decide how to proceed. Garland was also personally involved in some of the key decision-making related to the Trump documents investigation and the decision to send the FBI to search Mar-a-Lago. Garland chose to have Lausch conduct the Biden documents investigation because he is one of two remaining Trump-appointed US attorneys, and to avoid the appearance of conflict of interest because he wasn’t appointed by Biden, people briefed on the matter said. In an awkward moment on Monday, Garland was sitting alongside Biden at a diplomatic summit in Mexico while reporters shouted questions about the probe. Both men ignored the questions. Lausch was one of the rare Trump-era holdovers who wasn’t told to resign after Biden’s inauguration in 2021, and Illinois’ two Democratic senators supported the decision to keep him at his post in part because he was handling the politically sensitive investigation of Michael Madigan, the former Democratic Illinois House speaker indicted on corruption charges.
