Classified documents from Biden's time as VP discovered in private office, source says

Classified documents from Biden's time as VP discovered in private office, source says By Jamie Gangel, CNN Updated 5:52 PM EST, Mon January 09, 2023

(CNN)Several classified documents from President Joe Biden's time as vice president were discovered last fall in a private office, a source with knowledge of the matter tells CNN.

The National Archives has referred the matter to the Justice Department for further investigation, the source told CNN.

Biden's lawyers found the government materials in November while closing out a Washington, DC-based office that Biden used as part of his relationship with the University of Pennsylvania, where he was an honorary professor from 2017 to 2019, the source said. ***

It is unclear what the documents pertain to or why they were taken to Biden's private office. Federal officeholders are required by law to relinquish official documents and classified records when their government service ends.

"The White House is cooperating with the National Archives and the Department of Justice regarding the discovery of what appear to be Obama-Biden Administration records, including a small number of documents with classified markings," Richard Sauber, special counsel to President Biden, said in a statement. "The documents were discovered when the President's personal attorneys were packing files housed in a locked closet to prepare to vacate office space at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C. The President periodically used this space from mid-2017 until the start of the 2020 campaign. On the day of this discovery, November 2, 2022, the White House Counsel's Office notified the National Archives. The Archives took possession of the materials the following morning."

***

The classified materials included some top-secret files with the "sensitive compartmented information" designation, also known as SCI, which is used for highly sensitive information obtained from intelligence sources.

CNN doesn't 'get it'. The problem is having classified documents. It's not how quick you return them when 'caught'... It's a problem when YOU'RE NOT THE PRESIDENT. The rules are different for the President.

The President has the right to declassify information in the middle of a public speech if he wants to... Classified information is collected for the sake of the President of the United States. He can do with it as he wants.

THAT DOES NOT APPLY TO THE VICE PRESIDENT OR ANYONE ELSE.

BIDEN DID NOT HAVE RIGHT TO KEEP CLASSIFIED INFORMATION. How 'fast' Biden returned the ill gotten papers doesn't matter. He could have passed copies on to Hunter and to the Chinese. CNN is clueless..(intentionally clueless)

Wow! The Biden Think Tank is funded by CHINA!!! Also, a V.P. cannot Declassify documents, which are covered by the Federal Records Act, which is Criminal and MUCH TOUGHER than the Presidential Records Act, which is NOT Criminal. A President, me, can Declassify. How much more information has China been given?

The amount was 54 Million Dollars that the Biden Think Tank received from China. That’s a lot of money. They saw the Classified Documents!

Benedict Biden’s theft of classified Federal documents is a very SERIOUS CRIME, because unlike with Trump, the VP does NOT have the power to declassify, only the POTUS! He should be IMMEDIATELY IMPEACHED!

Think about this. This is happening when Biden is out of the White House and in Mexico. Interesting timing.

Just another example out of the billions of examples of the two kinds of justice in this country.

LOL! I almost puked that day when Hillary spewed that bullcrap, playing Ms. Naive elderly Grandma “Wiping the server? What do you mean, with a cloth?” I cannot stand it when she puts on that stupid act because so many low IQ morons buy into it. “Oh look at those evil Republican men abusing that little old innocent lady!” Meanwhile she’s putting out hits on people like Ma Barker

"I’m surprised CNN is who has the story.!"

Allegedly...at least for consumption aimed at the fence sitters out there, CNN wanted to move away from their leftist bias and more towards "news." [1][2][3]

Now that we know Joe Biden as VP stole top secret documents, why didn’t the National Archives report it to the FBI to raid his home to get them back? You know like they did Trump, even though Trump was President and legally declassified those docs.

Biden will say that President O’Bama had declassified them.
