The White House on Thursday said it is confident that an investigation into the discovery of classified documents will find that President Biden accidentally misplaced them.

“We are confident that a thorough review will show that these documents were inadvertently misplaced, and the President and his lawyers acted promptly upon discovery of this mistake,” Richard Sauber, special counsel to the president, said in a statement.

Sauber added that the White House has “cooperated closely with the Justice Department throughout its review” and “will continue that cooperation with the Special Counsel.”

The statement comes after Attorney General Merrick Garland announced earlier Thursday that he would appointed Robert Hur as special counsel to investigate the discovery of classified documents at an office once belonging to Biden and at his Wilmington home. Hur, a Trump appointee who served as the U.S. attorney in Maryland, will return to the department to conduct the investigation.

“Inadvertent” is what the JoeTatoe dropped in his diaper this morning [and this afternoon].

Man, are some of you freepers judgmental!      

[Tench_Coxe]

Anything requiring a SCIF would not be “inadvertent”.

I don’t think accidental mishandling classified documents is a defense.

I think “inadvertently misplaced” is a far more serious thing that what Trump may have done. It means it is easily compromised. But the Left will say it’s ok.

If it weren’t for double standards, they wouldn’t have any at all.

The garage. The house is Hunter’s .

Bingo!

Does Biden Have Chinese servants?

Check Biden’s trash can and investigate the trash disposal company for Chinese employees.

Then do the same with Hunter.

Exactly, it makes it much more serious. Trump's docs were in a padlocked area with secret service guarding the location. Not in the Golf course garage next to the lawnmowers.

Seems like they took Steve Martin's advise. But I thought he was just kidding.

So, it’s not that Biden is corrupt. It’s just that he is incompetent!

Nothing to see here; move along.

“..Merritt Garland is going to burn in hell forever!...”

Um.....well...that’s where it’s originally from so it shouldn’t be a big deal to it.
