    More classified documents found in Biden's Delaware garage, White House reveals

    This report from FoxNews:
    More classified documents found in Biden's Delaware garage, White House reveals | Fox News​
    ​​President Biden had another batch of classified documents housed in the garage of one of his Delaware homes, White House lawyers announced Thursday.

    The White House Counsel's Office searched Biden's two residences in Rehoboth Beach and Wilmington, Delaware this week after revelations about a collection of Obama-era classified documents at a think tank in Washington. Biden is facing growing scrutiny for his handling of classified documents, and the White House says it is fully cooperating with a Justice Department investigation.

    White House lawyers say they immediately contacted the DOJ when they discovered the documents this week. There has been no indication of what the documents contain or whether Biden or anyone else read them after leaving office as vice president.

    "Lawyers discovered among personal and political papers a small number of additional Obama-Biden administration records with classified markings. All but one of these documents were found in storage space in the President's Wilmington residence garage," White House lawyers wrote in a Thursday statement. "One document consisting of one page was discovered among stored materials in an adjacent room."
    ​
    The Wilmington documents are the second stash of Obama-era classified documents to be uncovered. The first collection was found at Washington offices of the Penn Biden Center, a Biden-aligned think tank.

    Attorney General Merrick Garland tapped John Lausch, the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Illinois and a Trump appointee, to investigate the matter on Monday. The White House says Biden is fully cooperating with the investigation.

    "The documents were not the subject of any previous request or inquiry by the Archives," Richard Sauber, special counsel to the White House, said in a Monday statement about the think tank documents. "Since that discovery, the President's personal attorneys have cooperated with the Archives and the Department of Justice in the process to ensure that any Obama-Biden Administration records are appropriately in the possession of the Archives."

    The discovery echoes revelations last year that Trump had housed a trove of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida after leaving office. The FBI ultimately raided his residence to recover some 300 classified documents.
    ​
    Democrats and their allied media have been comical defending Biden here, at least after the first batch was "discovered." They were mostly anxious to distinguish sloppy, sloppy Joe from Evil Donald. I think the best was one of The Views's harridans saying that since they already knew Trump was a lying scum, it was ok to assume the worst, whereas since they didn't have those preconceptions about Sloppy Joe, it was OK to give him the benefit of the doubt.

    For comparison:

    It seems clear to me that someone decided subpoenas from the House were a distinct possibility, and that they'd better clear out the closets ahead of that, while there's still time to destroy anything incriminating. If the attorneys do their job, I don't expect anything awkward to remain, and I can hear the semi-yawned "nothingburger" announcements as clearly Hillary's next bottle of Chardonnay being poured.

    It would seem A.G. Garland's in something of a pickle, having reacted swiftly to the Mir-A-Lago kerfluffle:

    But the purpose of a two-tiered justice system is twofold. First, of course, is to favor the insiders, but the second is to make the outsiders know in no uncertain terms that they are in fact outsiders who will NOT have access to "fairness" and all that. A secret rigged system is only half a loaf.

    I'm not how sure how far along we are in our "radical transformation." Will Garland pretend to fairness, the way Myorkis says "the border is closed"? or be openly duplicitous, dismissing concerns over Biden's mistakes as unworthy of investigation?

              I had a TS clearance when I was in the Army. We had a special class as to how to handle classified documents and the penalties involved, I had access to the electronic schematics for a Radar Data Processing System which was the heart of Nike air defense batteries.
              We were not allowed to remove any documents from the facility. Period. If we did it was a court martial and prison time.
              Now we have politicians playing fast and loose with classified material. Hillary, Trump and Biden.
              Trump probably has the best defense as he can say I declassified them.
              Hillary was the absolute worst and destroyed the evidence.
              I suspect that someone knew or saw something that caused Biden to attempt to get out in front of his problem before it bit him so hard in the ass he couldn't run in the next cycle.

                  Maybe what they "saw" was that the new House was serious.

                  Meanwhile the comedy continues. The new defense is to "suspect" somebody planted these documents.

                  Democrat suggests classified docs in Biden's home, office may have been 'planted' after second batch found | Fox News​
                  Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., said he isn't ruling out foul play in the discovery of classified documents found in President Biden's possession, suggesting they could have been planted.

                  "Alleged classified documents showing up allegedly in the possession of Joseph Biden… I’m suspicious of the timing of it," Johnson told Fox News' Hillary Vaughn on Thursday after a second batch of documents was found in the president's garage in Wilmington, Delaware. "I'm also aware of the fact that things can be planted on people... things can be planted in places and then discovered conveniently. That may be what has occurred here. I'm not ruling that out. But I'm open in terms of the investigation needs to be investigated."

                  Despite Johnson speculating the documents could have been planted, Biden admitted to Fox News' White House correspondent Peter Doocy that he knew they were in his garage. "So the documents were in a locked garage?" Doocy asked.

                  "Yes, as well as my Corvette," Biden answered.
                  ​
                  This Johnson character is maybe as stupid as Shiela Jackson Lee, but that's a reach.
                  "It is refreshing to see the Department of Justice restored from its politicization during the Trump years, and I applaud Attorney General Garland for acting swiftly in appointing a special counsel to investigate the Biden document discoveries," Johnson told Fox News Digital.

                  "Based on what we know, there is a big difference between the Trump and Biden document cases," Johnson said, adding that the situation surrounding Biden's possession of documents does not compare to the classified materials found in former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence. "There remains much we don’t know about the Biden document discoveries, and it’s too early to reach any conclusions. I am confident, however, that the process has begun to ensure that we get to the truth, and that justice will be done."
                  ​
                  His stiffer competition for stupid is probably on The View:
                  Joy Behar suggests Republicans planted documents on Biden to help Trump: 'Somehow these documents appear' | Fox News​
                  "The View" co-host Joy Behar said Thursday that she didn't know a luckier person than former president Donald Trump and said President Biden's classified documents appeared just as "we were this close" to getting Trump.

                  "I've never seen a luckier person than Donald Trump," Behar declared. "Just as we're this close to getting him, somehow these documents appear," appearing to suggest they were planted.

                  Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin argued that Biden was "building" Trump's defense for him and added that he was "wrong to have done this."

                  "He is wrong," co-host Sunny Hostin agreed.
                  ​
                  "Just as we're this close to getting him [Trump]" after all these years. The walls were closing in.

                  Oh well.

                  Co-host Whoopi Goldberg emphasized waiting to find out "what this is" first.

                  "Let’s find out what this is first. Again, one of the things that gets me crazy is before we know, it’s already been spun a specific way," she said. "I don’t want to see that. I want to see someone explain to me, how it’s possible that after all this time, nobody knew. Because to me, if you are missing classified information, I don’t mean to laugh, but in my house, if stuff is missing, I know it’s missing."

                  Hostin said asked Goldberg if it felt like "the Republicans were behind it" and if it felt like opposition research.

                  "It did originally, but not now because one of the things he’s saying is that, you know, some of the locations where the docs may have been shipped in the transition may have gotten taken and put," she responded.

                                  More documents found. The comedy continues.

                                  5 more classified documents found at Biden's Delaware home, White House lawyer says | Fox News​
                                  A third batch of classified documents was found at President Biden's residence in Wilmington, Delaware, the president's attorneys announced Saturday.

                                  Special counsel to the president Richard Sauber disclosed in a statement that five additional pages of documents with classified markings were found at Biden's home Thursday evening, making a total of six classified documents retrieved from there.

                                  Sauber explained that when Biden's personal attorneys identified one classified document at Biden's home on Wednesday, they "immediately" stopped searching for additional documents because they lacked the security clearances necessary to view those materials.

                                  "Because I have a security clearance, I went to Wilmington Thursday evening to facilitate providing the document the President’s personal counsel found on Wednesday to the Justice Department," Sauber said. "While I was transferring it to the DOJ officials who accompanied me, five additional pages with classification markings were discovered among the material with it, for a total of six pages. The DOJ officials with me immediately took possession of them." . . .
                                  ​
                                  Now that Garland has appointed a "special counsel," we'll learn no more:
                                  Sauber emphasized that Biden's lawyers have "acted immediately and voluntarily" to turn over all classified materials to the Justice Department.

                                  "We have now publicly released specific details about the documents identified, how they were identified, and where they were found. The appointment of the Special Counsel in this matter this week means we will now refer specific questions to the Special Counsel’s office moving forward," Sauber said.
                                  ​
                                  Speculation is rampant as to who is "behind" this, with notions ranging from Evil Republicans (see Hank Johnson, above) to Kamala or Gavin, greasing the skids for Sloppy Joe's exit in time for a 2024 run. Occam's Razor suggests defaulting to the First Rule of Sloppy Joe, "Don't underestimate Joe's ability to fuck things up."

                                  Meanwhile, the ladies on The View are in for a penny, in for a pound. Ana Navarro offers a new idea, after the 2nd discovery was revealed:

                                  . . . "These documents are at least six, seven years old. Nobody was missing them for seven years," she argued. "This guy, you know, Biden could have easily flushed them down the toilet, had his crazy German Shepherd eat them, burnt them in the fireplace - but he didn't. What did he do? He self-reported."

                                  And while the hosts largely agreed that the key difference here is that Biden has fully cooperated and been transparent throughout the news, host Alyssa Farah Griffin argued that just because the documents are older than Trump's doesn't necessarily mean they posed no threat.

                                  "Time doesn't make something not classified, necessarily," Farah Griffin said. "So it still could pose a national security risk, even if it's been six or seven years."
                                  ​
                                  I was wondering about this. At some point the ideas put out on The View start to smear women as really, really stupid. Baba Wawa launched the program with the express notion of giving a female perspective prominence, but now the result isn't looking good.

                                      One article I saw said yes, there is a difference between Trump's documents and Biden's: Trump had the power to declassify them as President, while Biden, as VP at the time, did not.

                                              As VP, he never should have even had access to classified documents. This is a cock-up of epic proportions.

                                                  Absolutely. I have a hunch his only defense will ultimately be that if "no reasonable prosecutor" would go after Hillary, why hound Sloppy Joe? I can see the heads bobbing on The View from here.
