WASHINGTON (AP) — Joe Biden offered himself to Americans as a president they wouldn’t have to think about after the tumult of his predecessor. But an excruciating week of awkward disclosures and the appointment of a special counsel to investigate classified records found at his Delaware home and a former office dating to his time as vice president is beginning to strain his claim to competence.
The surprise revelations that on three different occasions Biden’s lawyers found improperly stored classified documents and official records evoked the turmoil surrounding Donald Trump’s presidency, a four-year ruckus from which Biden has tried to move the country past.
It’s an embarrassment to Biden, and the selection of a special counsel to investigate potential criminal wrongdoing in the matter exposes the president to a new, self-inflicted risk.
Further, it complicates the Justice Department’s calculus about whether to bring charges against Trump.
“The White House can’t let itself be seen as hiding information or be bled to death by investigators’ or others’ leaks,” said Adam Goldberg, who served as special associate counsel to President Bill Clinton.
If Biden’s White House needs to get its messaging back on track after a week of missteps and unforced errors, Trump’s issues go well beyond mere competence.
“On the political front, assuming the White House gets its communications right, I’m not worried about any political fallout,” said Goldberg. “With Trump, competency hasn’t been the issue, intentional misconduct has been. While Republicans will try to muddy this up, there’s just such a big difference between Biden discovering and disclosing these on his own and Trump’s obstruction and lying.”

This really looks like a signal from deep state, delivered by AP, that it is time for Biden to start packing it in.
What bs
Guaranteed that Obama has a whole Yacht load of classified documents he stole too. All the ones that make him look bad. Everything Benghazi. And Egypt revolution, And 2014 Ukraine CIA led revolution. Plus his passport records from the State Department. Anyone here remember that?
Like Joe was ever competent.
800 FBI files.
Biden's cognitive debility collides with our cognitive dissonance.
Caused in large part by you, AP, and the other screaming banshees in the media.
So, Trump was criminal but Biden is merely an incompetent elderly
“Joe Biden offered himself to Americans as a president they wouldn’t have to think about after the tumult of his predecessor”
And instead Joe has been the worst President in history destroying 30 trillion of value from the stock market, crushing the real estate markets, opening our border to millions of illegals who bring crime, disease, and terrorists across, sending inflation soaring to 40 year highs and unemployment, welfare, crime, and wacko sex freaks, rampant.
If ever a man deserved to be impeached and tossed out of office, it’s Biden.
The only people surprised by this are the braindead left.
Hilarious.
The extremist far left are sure checking all the dumpsters for far left Classified Garage Documents “experts” to defend their boy, Brandon with their “Why Biden’s documents are different than Trump’s” narrative.
When the AP is piling on, you know the Deep State power brokers have decided it’s time for Joe to leave. If he was their preferred candidate for 2024, you can bet this mess would be treated like Hunter’s laptop in 2020. Total cover up and news blackout.
Exactly
How Demx including media keep up this pretense is amazing
I think there are two possibilities.
One is that the guys who are Bigger Than The Big Guy have decided he is no longer useful to the revolution, and are preparing for his departure and replacement by someone more pliable and/or less demented.
The other is that the Lord is actually what He says He does in such situations, bringing all the darkness to light, so much that even the MSM can't act like it isn't seeing anything.
Could be both.
Let me fix that headline (the AP editor must've been distracted):
Documents probe dents AP’s ability to conceal Biden's incompetence
;>)
“dents”, interesting choice of words.
Like running away from the taliban and leaving thousands of US and allied citizens behind, plus $80 billion in weapons…
then going into a pixxing contest with Russia over borders in Ukraine that has killed or crippled hundreds of thousands of our allies
and sent a million Uke refugees to a Europe facing energy armageddon while stripping itself of money and weapons…
and erasing our own border with 5 million illegals
Is not “ tumult”
God if this was in 2 years…imagine the next 2
