The Department of Justice (DOJ) considered having FBI agents monitor President Joe Biden’s lawyers as they rifled through classified documents before ultimately rejecting the idea, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported Tuesday.

Biden’s lawyers found classified materials at the Penn Biden Center think tank in Washington, D.C., just before the midterm elections. The president’s legal team then conducted a search of Biden’s properties for other such materials. The president’s lawyers and the DOJ discussed the possibility of having FBI agents monitor the search but later decided against it, according to the WSJ....

Did any of those lawyers have the proper security clearance? Sure handled this way different than the Trump standard.

Don’t you have to have clearance to handle top secret documents.


Only if you are a real or potential conservative/Republican. Democrats are always trustworthy.

Even with a security clearance that does not mean they can read specific documents. There is also the need to know.

Corruption abounds in Democrat administrations.

Thought I recalled someone being interviewed saying the head of National Archives recently being changed. Sounds like political appointments. Would be interesting to know just when that change occurred.

I think the point being overlooked is why were Bidet’s lawyers, his personal ones, going through documents at the Oxymoron named think tank. My guess is they were culling through the files looking for stuff that might come back on Hunter and both their business dealings. Once the lawyers got them, they became attorney client stuff to boot.

My guess during this search, they came across the TS documents. Then the crap hit the fan.

WH lawyers probably have TS. Not sure about TS/SBI with SCI access.

I highly doubt all had TS, TSN or TS SCI.

None of their ( WH lawyers ) clearances matter if they did not have a “need to know”. Since they didn’t know what they would find how could they have had a “need to know”?

If one has a TS clearance and assigned to a TS job it is FINE.
Biden should be in prison as TS needs to be in a locked safe, if not being used for official business. I or my SF Intel Sergeant locked the safe every day when we left. Biden had the documents in a closet-not a safe.

I didn’t just consume intel I actually created TS intel documents. One of my duties as the ASW officer on a FF was to generate after action reports after real world ASW ops. All of it, every word of it was TS.

If the FBI knew that classified documents were were floating around unsecured, knew exactly where they were, and knew that the people who found them were not cleared to see them, can the FBI agent who decided to not send FBI agents to retrieve the documents himself be arrested for mishandling classified documents?

Is that an aiding and abetting charge by willfully disregarding their duty to secure the documents and knowingly letting uncleared people have access to them?
