Scott 20901 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Pressure is mounting on President Joe Biden to give further details about the classified documents found at his Delaware home and a Washington office he once used. An independent lawyer, or special counsel, has been appointed by the justice department to investigate whether these papers were mishandled. There are still more questions than answers about the files. Here's a look at some of the things we still don't know. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-64267983 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post thaibeachlovers 48853 Posted January 14 Popular Post Share Posted January 14 (edited) From the article "Mr Biden has said he does not know what's in the recovered papers." Is he saying he doesn't remember, or that he never knew? Does anyone believe that he never knew? "But it's still unclear who may have handled these files in the seven years since Mr Biden ended his tenure as vice-president." IMO that is the most important news to come out- that confidential governments documents can just get lost. What the <deleted> has Archives been doing? "It was not until reporting this month by CBS News that the discovered documents were made public or acknowledged by the White House, spurring accusations that it had been deliberately kept quiet ahead of the midterms." Surely it's in the public's interest to know which, if any, media knew before the midterms, and chose to suppress the information? Also, from where the information came and was it an official notice or leaked? We need to know if it was an official coverup, or if the media colluded to suppress the news till after the midterms.

James Comey showed how to swing an election by prematurely running his mouth immediately before and election when it turned out there was no there there. It's was a convention not to do that. The investigation had just begun. 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it an unusual delay for predicating, launching and announcing an investigation? No, if we compare with Trumps case. For trump, the NARA notified the DOJ on 9 February 2022, and the investigation was disclosed on 7 April by Reuters. 2 months. For Biden the NARA notified the DOJ on 2 November and it came out early January. 2 months Same same. 2 months after being notified by the NARA. Actually not really same same as the NARA waited nearly one year before contacting the DOJ about Trump's document, and informed the DOJ a few days only after it got the information in the Biden case. https://www.voanews.com/a/timeline-of-the-trump-documents-inquiry-/6734453.html Edited January 14 by candide 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you remember, the situation with Trump and the classified documents was not covered in the press until there was a search warrant and subsequent raid. Even though there had been subpoenas issued.

riclag 8434 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) More papers found , than was originally reported. Why are lawyers looking without security clearance ! What a dumpster fire this is! Where the hell is the new Spec Counsel. Where’s Wrays agents ! “Sauber said in a statement Saturday that Biden’s personal lawyers, who did not have security clearances, stopped their search after finding the first page on Wednesday evening. Sauber found the remaining material Thursday, as he was facilitating their retrieval by the Department of Justice”. Even PBS is suspicious of the reporting . as mentioned in the article.The WH is facing scrutiny for waiting over 2 months for acknowledgment of the first batch. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/lawyers-found-more-classified-documents-at-bidens-home-than-previously-stated Edited January 14 by riclag 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try reading the OP that you are commenting on: "But keeping such a discovery private is "normal", said David Weinstein, a formal federal prosecutor in Florida. "It's not your place as a target or a witness of an investigation to say what happened, it's up to the people investigating it to decide what to say and when to say it," he said." 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Following the initial discovery of the Penn Biden Center documents, whenever a document bearing classified markings was identified, the search was suspended of the box, file or other space where the document was discovered, with the potentially classified material left in place as found,” Bauer said, adding the US government was “promptly notified.” ........... “Adhering to this process means that any disclosure regarding documents cannot be conclusive until the government has conducted its inquiry, including taking possession of any documents and reviewing any surrounding material for further review and context.” https://edition.cnn.com/2023/01/14/politics/biden-classified-documents-wilmington-delaware-home/index.html Again, what a contrast between Biden's behaviour and Trump lying about the documents, insulting the special counsel, etc... Biden and his lawyers let the DOJ do its job without any interference. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
berrec 913 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Hey, what happened to the 6 am morning raid with FBI agents and SWAT teams and CNN on Biden's locations where documents were found. "C'mon Man" "You know the thing" It's just a political setup by the Democrats to ensure Biden can't run in 2024 and inflect more nonsense and stupidity on Americans. "Look, here's the deal man" Gavin Newsom, come on down, it's your turn in the WH. Gav's going to turn all of America into a California look-a-like basket case. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
