resident Biden’s personal attorney Bob Bauer will represent him in matters related to the classified documents found in his office at the Penn Biden Center and at his Wilmington, Del., residence, the Biden administration confirmed on Friday.
Bauer, White House counsel in the administration of former President Barack Obama, has been a key player in Biden’s orbit for years. Bauer helped spearhead issues around voting ahead of - and after — the 2020 election and also helped vet Kamala Harris for vice president. He was a central figure in Biden’s debate preparations ahead of his 2020 clashes with Donald Trump, even standing in to play the then-Republican president in practice sessions.
In December, the administration also announced that Bauer would represent the president “in a personal capacity should the need arise,” if Congressional Republicans go through with their often talked about plans to investigate the president’s son, Hunter Biden. But his retention for matters related to the handling of classified documents underscores the growing political significance of that issue.
The announcement comes a day after Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed former U.S. attorney Robert Hur as special counsel to investigate the storage of the documents. It also was revealed right at the time that House Republicans began issuing oversight demands into the matter.
On Friday afternoon, Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) sent a letter to Garland demanding details by Jan. 27 about his handling of the case, including his decision to appoint Hur.

Obama’s 4th term Continues.
I wondered if Obama might be concerned by the warehouse he has of classified docs and might be steering clear for a while until he sees where this goes?
One could write: “Obama and his minions” about every single thing regarding SloJo. When Obama’s teleprompter failed, he often babbled, or just babbled memorized text from Alinsky’s Rules For Radicals. Obama also babbled when trying to figure out how to NOT tell the truth.. Uh. Ah. Uh. Ah. One time Rush took all the Uhs and Ahs from just one of Obama’s diatribes. It was 7 minutes long.
Seems like we’ve stumbled on a way ship leftards..including their media and FBI?

Obama ain’t saying anything. Why should he?
This guy represented Obama in the birth certificate/natural born Citizen eligibility lawsuits against him.
RATS taking care of RATS. Anyone connected to O’Bama is a crook, IMHO.
Obama may sit back. His minions and his controllers run things
When I suggest Obama, I have always felt he was a Lt. and not a General in the Deep State. We might be surprised to find out who really runs things. Rumor has it that he placed Kamala Harris in the VP with the idea that she might be a forerunner for Michelle Obama. They are ambitious folks.
