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.

Yeah, and the media will say this is somehow different than President Trump allegedly possessing classified docs.
I have to ask, was the FBI involved in the raid on the ‘private office’?
“Wake me when he’s perp-walked out of the White House”
It’s a ploy for Bimentia to self-walk himself into the 2024 retirement (home)
Hmm. Makes sense.
Will Garland recuse himself and have some deputy appoint a Special Counsel? [/ROTFL]
Yeah, and the media will say this is somehow different than President Trump allegedly possessing classified docs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Maybe it is different—Trump had his documents stored securely for several months; DOJ knew about them yet had had FBI storm Trumps office and residence.
Biden’s have been sitting there since 2019?! “Discovered” by lawyers in the fall—did anyone know? Did FBI storm the office, the white house or jill’s lingerie drawer?
And, as only VP he had no authority to declassify anything.
Probably in his sock draw.
IMPEACH HIM!
This might be the issue the RATs will use to move Biden out and replace him with Kamala. If she comes in now, is it true that she could serve out the end of his term and still go on to serve two full terms of her own?
"jill’s lingerie drawer"
Remember this when the truth comes out that some law firm moved into the space and found the docs and alerted friends at the DOJ.
Joe has outlived his usefulness... on to the next degenerate stooge
Now having classified documents doesn’t matter because Donald Trump has already destroyed the Constitution, the country, civilization, all decency, humanity, creation by having some classified documents in his possession. So Brandon will get a pass.
Brandon NOT BEING POTUS had no business being in possession of classified documents he STOLE THEM!!! He left them in a facility with DEEP TIES to the CCP!!
Joe isn't the type to take that kind of thing lying down. He might just turn on his handlers.
He used the office whileanonymous Chinear donations were pouring in...
Didn’t some conservative buy a lot of CNN stock a while back?
a news cycle or three of hyped up scandal about who's fault it is, or how it happened, how it got discovered or covered up
But not a peep about what evil deeds are in the content of the documents, after all it's "classified"
kinda
No matter the spin, this discovery makes it politically impossible for Garland to indict Trump for mishandling classified documents.
The worms were pinning huge hopes on their so-called Document Gate. Now those hopes have been snatched away.
They also had hopes for Trump’s tax returns.
They had huge hopes for the SDNY investigation.
They had massive hopes for the J6 committee.
They were betting the farm on Mueller.
.
.
Their remaining thread of hope is Georgia.
One thin, fraying thread keeping them from plunging into an abyss of dread and madness.
.
.
snap
It’s already different. It’s VP vs President, and it was pre-election non-release.
