Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said Congress could not “exclude the possibility” that national security was jeopardized by the handling of President Biden’s classified documents, which are now at the center of a Department of Justice probe.
“I don’t think we can exclude the possibility without knowing more of the facts,” Schiff said on ABC’s “This Week” in an interview with Jonathan Karl. “I’d like to know what these documents were, I’d like to know what the (special counsel’s) assessment is.”

Schiff said it’s possible that he’s an idiot but not enough evidence to prove......
How would they go about that? Only thing I can think of is somehow “persuading” her to resign. And if they had anything on her, we would have heard about it already, before the Biden documents broke.
Wow, with Widdle Pencil Neck off the reservation, we know this is the end of “Joe!”
Rats abandoning a sinking ship.
Rest assured that if they boot Biden before 2024 they will not put Kami in charge.
This is a very long runway to simply undermine a Biden 2024 run.
SCHIFF... Quote: ‘I HAVE SEEN THE EVIDENCE, I KNOW THAT TRUMP WORKED WITH RUSSIA. I CAN’T GIVE ANYMORE BECAUSE IT IS TOP SECRET..BUT THERE IS EVIDENCE, AND HE DID COLLUDE.
Dems are flushing Biden away. Maybe the Clinton machine going after the Obama et al machine?…
Right, but they need a plausible explanation for the public.
My gut is churning. Could Biden be the sacrificial lamb to get President Trump indicted? Biden is finished so kicking him out ( no one is above the law) is is just replacing one mind numbed robot for another does nothing to impact the power of the deep state. It gives them a clear path for the DOJ and media full metal jacket attract on President Trump
Hmm, seems even the vile left have gotten the memo to Abandon Brandon © (that needs to be a tee shirt, sold outside rallies of the left, although there won’t be many people that attend them)
STFU SHIFTY
Check the security cameras to see if any yellow school buses were in the vicinity.
Yeah when you lose him.....
In my view the Clinton Crime Family is diminished to nearly zero influence. Once Hillary lost, the money dried up.
The fact that Chelsea Hubbell-Mezvinsky has not begun her political career tells me the “brand” is junk and the polls tell them so. AOC is the hot commodity in NYC these days.

Don’t buy Biden’s ‘surprise’ act — US classified documents were moved at least twice
By Jonathan Turle6, January 11, 2023 6:24pm Updated
With the reported discovery of a second batch of highly classified documents connected to President Biden, the decisions of Attorney General Merrick Garland are fast moving from inexplicable to incomprehensible.
Garland was presumably briefed that classified documents were discovered in Joe Biden’s old office on Nov. 2. He also presumably knew about the Biden documents when he appointed a special counsel to investigate the classified documents at Mar-a-Lago 16 days later.
At the time of the appointment of Jack Smith, some of us noted the inexplicable refusal of Garland to appoint a special counsel to look into alleged Biden influence peddling and other crimes.
Garland continued to refuse such an appointment even as he justified the appointment of Smith on the basis that Donald Trump was running for the presidency. Joe Biden is the president. What is the difference?

Biden, meanwhile, is feigning ignorance, simply saying he was “surprised” the documents were there.
By not discussing the content of the documents, Biden minimizes his vulnerability to charges of obstruction or false statements. He can simply declare “surprise,” knowing that many in the media will welcome his silence as they spin the scandal.

Despite the lack of information, the press and pundits have already declared there is no real national security danger and certainly no comparison to Mar-a-Lago. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) declared, “There is no comparison. They were in a locked closet. They were not accessible.”
So that is the standard? A locked closet? The Mar-a-Lago storage room was locked and later the security was enhanced at the request of the FBI.
It is fair to note that Trump and his staff are accused of false statements and obstruction. However, that does not change the same alleged crime of unlawful removal and possession.
Biden is taking a page from the Hillary Clinton playbook. Recall the long-sought Whitewater documents. After the case was effectively over, they suddenly appeared. The New York Times called the documents “elusive,” as if they moved by free will.
Clinton was also “surprised” by the discovery of the documents … after they could not be used as part of the earlier investigation.
There are some obvious explanations for the documents being present in the office, particularly given Biden’s work on a book that discussed his work in some of the referenced countries like Ukraine. However, even that explanation raises more questions. For example, Biden left office as vice president in 2017 and had an office at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia after finishing his term until 2019. On February 8, 2018, the Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement says, it opened its doors in Washington, DC.

So if these documents were removed when Biden left office, where were they in the prior year and were they moved repeatedly before they ended up in the Washington office? This does not appear to be a “one-and-done” mistake. Rather documents may have been at various locations over a five-year period.
None of this could be clarified with Biden simply expressing “surprise.”
The FBI has two immediate tasks: Secure the highly classified documents and then determine whether they may have been compromised.
Consider that Biden notably did not categorically deny asking for the documents to be taken at the end of this term as vice president.
He also did not explain when he was briefed after they were found.
Democrats and the media are eager to wave this away and move on. But, as the statements of Garland and Biden show, there are many questions that need answering. The discovery of new classified documents only magnifies those unanswered questions.

No kidding.
Sit down, Bugsy.
“Has Schiff been kicked off of the House Intelligence Committee yet?”
I believe so.
First Weissmann then Stabenow and now Schifty. Word is out to dump Bitem.
