Another day, another report of President Biden having classified documents scattered all over the place – as opposed to a safe at Mar-a-Lago.
And of course as vice president when he took them, he had no authority to declassify – unlike a president.
In the latest ‘document-gate’ development, the New York Times reports that ‘additional pages of classified information’ were found at President Biden’s Delaware home on Thursday, hours after a White House statement acknowledging that a classified document was found in a storage area ‘adjacent to the garage’ of his Wilmington home, which Biden’s aides reportedly discovered the night before.
The news comes after Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed a special counsel this week to investigate Biden’s handling of classified materials.
The Biden camp has pushed back against accusations that their failure to disclose the document find the day before the 2022 midterms amounts to election interference.
They also defended their decision not to be fully forthcoming about the matter. The White House has been criticized over its public disclosures, including why it did not reveal the discoveries much earlier, and why, when it acknowledged on Monday that some classified files had been found at Mr. Biden’s office on Nov. 2, it had not indicated that more had been found at his house the next month.
Mr. Biden’s lead personal lawyer, Bob Bauer, said in a statement on Saturday that Mr. Biden’s legal team had tried to balance being transparent with “the established norms and limitations necessary to protect the investigation’s integrity.” -NYT
According to Biden’s lead lawyer, DOJ investigators needed ‘time’ to complete their inquiry, and revealing certain details publicly before more information emerged could cause earlier statements to be “incomplete.”
“That’s your version of events,” said White House spox Karine Jean-Pierre on Friday when asked if the White House did not disclose the original findings until they were reported by CBS News earlier this week. “Look, I want to very clear: There’s a process here, we are going to respect that process,” she added.
What a load of horseshit.

“The timing of the revelation of the document discovery is indeed curious,” said former Rep. Chris Carney (D-PA), a longtime Biden ally and former intelligence officer, per The Hill. “President Biden must be accountable and accept responsibility for this awkward episode. The most important thing here is not preventing political embarrassment, it’s protecting our nation’s security.”
“Look, this happened Nov. 2nd. Joe Biden said he would be the most transparent president in American history. Why are we just now learning this? CBS did a great job uncovering this or we would never know,” said Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) in a CBS interview earlier this week.

Why are TPTB dropping all of this now? Are they up against a deadline (no pun) to get rid of him?
Is Michelle chomping at the bit to move back to DC? (after KH has some unforeseen “health” crisis, of course).
Peeps are talking about pieces of paper again, hold them up, put em in your glovebox. Just don’t talk about coincidence.
They have to convince him to not announce he is running for reelection.
BTW Barry and Big Mike bought a rather large house not too far from their former residence in the District of Corruption – They never left, except for vacations.
If Harris takes over after 1/20/23, she could theoretically be president for 2.499 terms (10 years). That was my initial speculation when she was picked. Given the fact that she’s both unlikable and retarded, it seems crazy that TPTB could actually think she would win two presidential elections, but …
They may PREFER a retarded titular president, and the elections could just be “fortified”.
Or maybe they’ll want Harris for 1.99 years and will swap in a better candidate for 2024. Newsom? I can’t believe Michelle will ever run.
This takes over a year to play out; Biden resigns mid-2024; Harris is President for 6-9 months; placeholder for VP; Republican wins Presidency; Republicans have House, Senate (not really) and WH for two years but do nothing of substance; Republicans lose House and Senate in 2026.
The question is, if the stock market and housing markets tank, the economy collapses, the dollar slides into worthlessness, and WWIII is in full swing …. who cares?
Oh, and vaxx deaths keep slowly piling up while MSM covers for pharmagov.
The government’s a farce, so is the nation, so are its people for the most part. Embrace the suck.
Biden has been a lying looney toone his entire life bought and paid for and is a prime pathetic example of the worst of the pathetic parasites that has infested what is now the ASSHOLE OF THE PLANET WASHINGTON DC .
Time for that enema of biblical proportions to flush out all the walking talking turds impacting the swamp
The normal residents of New Jersey would like to object to that comment.
Point Taken regarding New Jersey
“arm pit” is still available.
New Rome is going to get sacked soon.
They’ve determined this piece of shit and his family have become a liability , unexplained deaths soon to follow brought to you by the alphabet agencies.
Oh, they always have a perfectly good explanation.
Not always believable, but good.
Honestly, I think most of this Top Secret stuff is a bunch of bullshit anyway. Most of what they do is obvious to anyone who’s paying attention.
All that really matters is when is the eff-bee-eye going to issue a press release stating the style and color of Jill’s panties with photos available upon request.
All they have to do is throw some empty folders marked “top secret” on the floor of a Biden residence, take pictures of them, and post those photos. We have seen them do that before already!
