a VP doesn't have the authority to declass documents. After the Fibbers took thousands of unclassified documents from Mara Lago, the National Archive librarian said it didn't matter if they were classified or not as long as they were archivable documents. In order to try to minimize the number of documents found in Biden's possession, his personal aides doing the searching are not disclosing how many documents found were 'unclassified' but, in fact, still archivable. We are only being told they were 'classified' but the level of classification has yet to be disclosed. We also have not been told why Biden didn't conduct searches for documents immediately after he left his VP position and why any documents were not of interest to the NA at that time

Biden’s own sharp criticisms of Trump’s handling of secret intelligence are now coming back to haunt him and opening him up to charges of hypocrisy. "opening him up to charges of hypocrisy"? How about a felony for mishandling classified documents?
This whole approach skips over any sort of thought that Biden did a bad thing, Biden is in trouble, and Biden should be charged. No. They aren't even considering such a thing. The whole emphasis is: "Darn! This makes it harder to get Trump."

Efforts to hold republicans accountableI see that there is no particular interest on the part of the MSM to hold democrats accountable, for anything, ever.

“personal aides doing the searching are not disclosing ...”
I don’t understand how/why the existence of these improperly stored documents was made public at all.
Someone who saw them chose to tell others of their existence, and the knowledge got to the press.
Were Biden enemies snooping around in his old haunts?

What a strange headline. How about holding Democrats accountable?

Biden’s document scandal makes the entire Trump media narrative look like a lie.
Think the people have forgotten how Trump was impeached for questioning Joe Biden involvement in getting a prosecutor fired that was looking into Burisma?
Get a clue CNN, you look stupid here. Laptop denial, Corruption Denial, now Denial on the importance of Ukraine and Burisma documents illegally kept by the former Vice Potus.

Biden’s documents were “found”. Trump was “hoarding”.
I hate these people.

“Trump to be charged for his own hoarding of secret material”
Same event and yet two very different thoughts on the event.

What We really need to ask is WHY Demx are doing this? They could have buried any reports of docs found at PennBiden.
Why are they making this known

I am surprised that the media and the Democrats haven't used the narrative that I was expecting:
“ Yes President Biden while he was out going Vice President took and secured with permission from outgoing going President Obama sensitive classified documents to secure them until such time that they could be returned at a future date. The then Vice President and other officials knew that the Mr. Trump was a serious security risk as both he and many of those close to him were under Russian influence and to allow such documents to be obtained by Mr. Trump would place our intelligence capabilities at serious risk. That these documents were overlooked is understandable since the Biden Administration had a lot of work to do repairing the damage of the previous 4 years and once discovered were returned to the National Archives. This is completely different from Mr. Trump who stole classified documents to plot his attempt to regain power after being rejected by the voters by hacking a second election and orchestrating a coup attempt leading to January 6. The fact that President Biden was protecting sensitive information from a known security risk as the twice impeached Mr. Trump means that he was acting in a responsible manner and should be thanked by the American people and not condemned for a clerical error. This is a completely different situation then Mr. Trump and his extremist allies who are attempting to present with their misinformation an attempt to excuse his illegal possession of classified information. This situation again illustrates why freedom of speech needs to be tempered with responsible speech to prevent blatant misinformation from poisoning the minds of our citizens thus threatening our democracy.”
I'm sure it coming though as our communist friends and their party are nothing but predictable so we should be ready with a good response to the scripted narrative on every news channel and online news site that's coming.
