Just remember that Joe Biden takes classified documents “seriously.” He takes it as seriously as he does his Corvette! Although, one has to wonder whether Biden can also dig up a few more Corvettes in Wilmington of which he was unaware until now.
Like, say, five or six more around the garage, or maybe in the laundry room:
President Biden’s aides found additional pages of classified information at his Delaware home this week, the White House said on Saturday, bringing the tally to six pages uncovered this week.
The additional pages, a person with direct knowledge of the matter said, were discovered hours after a White House statement on Thursday that cited only one that had turned up in a storage area adjacent to the garage of his Wilmington home. Justice Department employees had gone to retrieve that page, which Mr. Biden’s aides had discovered the night before.
“Seriously,” folks! Biden takes classified-info “seriously,” by which he apparently means he likes stashing it around the house in places even he can’t recall.
This comes shortly after the White House heavily implied that Biden’s attorneys had conducted a thorough search, too. Maybe it’s time for an FBI team to conduct their own, eh?
The New York Times has more on the context surrounding today’s announcement:
The revelation came as Mr. Biden’s lawyers provided new details about their unfolding discovery over the past two months of classified materials from his time as vice president at his house and an office he used before beginning his 2020 campaign for the White House. Attorney General Merrick B. Garland appointed a special counsel this week to investigate Mr. Biden’s handling of classified materials.
They also defended their decision not to be fully forthcoming about the matter. The White House has been criticized over its public disclosures, including why it did not reveal the discoveries much earlier, and why, when it acknowledged on Monday that some classified files had been found at Mr. Biden’s office on Nov. 2, it had not indicated that more had been found at his house the next month.
It looks as though those criticisms may have understated the lack of transparency from Biden and the White House. Either they incompetently conducted their initial searches of Biden properties and offices, or they didn’t actually complete them at all.
This raises another question, too. The spread of these materials in the Wilmington home makes it clear that someone was making use of them at some point. Otherwise, the classified material would have remained in the boxes in which they were initially packaged from Biden’s vice-presidential term. That’s not “inadvertently misplacing” material, but intentional retention and unauthorized uses of classified material.
And that makes the obvious questions even more acute. What did the classified information contain, and what was Biden’s interest in it? Who else accessed this material, and for what purpose? How much more is there to find?
It’s time to send the FBI in with search warrants to answer the last question. And maybe to start considering the addition of obstruction to the list of potential charges, too. In the meantime, let’s try to count all of the ways in which Biden lied just two days ago in this statement.
Update: On Twitter, one person wondered why the FBI would be needed if Biden was cooperating. For one thing, the material needs to be properly secured, but for another, do we know he’s cooperating? Or is his team vetting the materials and destroying anything that might implicate Biden and his associates in further crimes? Hillary Clinton managed to pull that off with the files on her server before allowing the FBI to inspect them, let’s not forget.
Update: Oh, and let’s not forget this from Thursday:
THE WHITE HOUSE on THURSDAY: "The search [for classified documents] is complete. [Biden] is confident in this process" pic.twitter.com/POPTBod9Z5 https://t.co/1UhKiM4PhJ

Biden may be confident in the process. That doesn’t make anyone else confident in it, especially after this.
I’d bet that at least some magically appeared after he was installed and some were smuggled to him between 2016 and 2020.
First, don’t ever trust any Biden aide, advisor, fundraiser, biographer, relative, friend or the mainstream media.
Second lesson, same as the First!
“We found some classified documents.
-
What were they about?
-
We can’t tell you, they are classified.”
+++++++
Your comment raises an important point that I haven’t seen in the media in discussions about Trump or Biden.
With very rare exceptions, every classified document is required to have an Unclassified title. This means that there should be nothing to prevent the media from getting a list of the title of every document in either discussion and releasing those titles to the public. I wish someone would submit a FOIA request for these titles so that we could have some better indication of the type of information is under discussion.
We will never know the truth about any of this. We only get fed what they want us to believe. We only see what they want us to see.
“Top Secret” changes everything. What was the subject of that top-secret?
God. How I wish someone would ask him if the southern border is as secure as his garage. And if not, why not.
.
They said Biden’s Lawyers are looking thru areas where Joe said he kept mementos from his VP days.
His lawyers are only looking where they are told to look. And the WH Counsel said they would make arrangements for the DoJ to take custody of the documents.
So, it’s like Hillary deciding what they should be given and what she wants to hide. They let Strzok decide which Texts the IG should see.
There have been no searches. There has been no FBi.
If there’s 35 rooms in there, they looked in one and the garage.
So Joe’s lawyers are still are finding Classified documents and the FBI has not taken over the search? Look what they did the Trump! Nothing but Boy Scout honor system for Joe, jack booted treatment for Trump! That is the big issue.
Oh, Merrick Garland and the FBI will be right on it.
He takes them alright, and shares them with Xi Jinpig, Putin, et al., and gets paid some serious money for them, via his bag man Hunter.
Never ending scandaaaal...
Biden and assistants spreading taxpayers money around
I think they probably did notify Biden and he simply ignored it…and of course since it was Biden, nobody did anything about it.
You have to sign documents out. Archives knew Joe had them . Republicans took control of the house. Investigations would be started. Joe tried to get in front of the problem. Joe started at his U Penn office. Why else was a lawyer helping Joe move an office? The U Penn docs were in an envelope marked private. Who goes through documents? , movers? While going through documents who looks at private documents? Again , movers? The whole thing stinks. Then they move to garage. Why? Because documents were still missing.
What a farce this Administration is.
What triggered them to start looking for all of these documents? They have been there for 5-6 years. Why are they now going after them?
This is the most important question at this point by far.
He probably forgot he had them.
What a farce ALL of this is.
Deep State can’t very well admit that the demented idiot it installed can’t make it to the next fake election, can it...
This is more Kabuki theater.
Enjoy if you’ve got the inclination, otherwise give it a miss.
It’s a lot of sound and fury signifying nothing.
