Turley calls out Biden's 'Corvette standard' on storing classified docs: 'It was a cringe-worthy moment'
FOX News ^ | January 12, 2023 | By Madeline Coggins

President Biden is taking heat after another batch of classified documents were found in the garage of his Delaware home alongside his Corvette.

Constitutional scholar and attorney Jonathan Turley added that the White House is "not in a good place" in terms of handling the narrative surrounding the classified documents.

"The problem is they gave the president a written statement, and then he decided to preface that statement with a uniquely ill-advised statement, saying that this was, after all, a locked garage where I keep my Corvette," Turley said on "America's Newsroom."

"The Corvette standard doesn't actually appear in the Federal Register, although Corvette did have a slogan for many years that 'it's like a car only better.' But we don't apply that to classified documents. So he's really not in a good place here because he's refusing to answer very basic questions."

Turley wrote on Twitter that Biden's reaction to a question from Fox News' Peter Doocy was "a cringe-worthy moment."

"He's repeating his reaction to the discovery rather than addressing his action," Turley said. "It's going to be hard for him to continue to say 'the lawyers don't want me to even know what these documents are.' He's a key witness. The FBI has to determine what the possible compromising of highly sensitive material occurred, and he's got to be able to answer questions about that."

“Potentially” ain’t got nothin’ to do with it.

Unsecured computers, failure to safeguard state secrets. The leftists used their standard routine

1.Deny deny deny
2. Prove it
3. There was no intent
4. Everybody does it
5. No big deal, “old news” or “it’s been litigated” and other dissembling lies and bullshit.

What was especially egregious is a lot of the top secret stuff ended up on laptops and other devices, not just the homebrew Email server, and none of it was ever supposed to be connected in any way to the internet.

That’s what a SCIF is designed specifically to preclude. They can’t be “emailed” by design. “Somebody” had to physically remove those documents from a secure facility, or take pictures of them, and then transfer to them to unsecured devices. That’s all total federal felony stuff. It is physically and electronically impossible for that stuff to end up sailing around the internet. “Some people did some things” indeed.

Another Stellar Moment in Gubbmint Security - the Democrats in the US House of Representatives contracted the Intelligence committee computer services with access to root to Pakistani nationals. Spies, basically, who fled the country, I guess. There’s so many incidents it is impossible to keep up.

Trump said “Pussy” though, so he’s gotta go.

Gosh, I didn’t notice that change in classified material handling rules that are supposed to apply to all of us who are cleared. Or a VP exception to that, for that matter.

Things are getting fun now. If old Joetato continues to speak to the press he is bound to incriminate himself further. I expect his handlers to put him in a tight lockdown real soon which will rapidly become very awkward to explain.

Good call.

My 65 year old neighbor just bought an 87 Ferrari Testarossa. Ex bank owner with more money than sense.

And some people ( like spies and Hunter friends) know you don’t know what or where your classified documents are much of the time apparently. I’m sure they have acted accordingly.

The liberals would be smarter to put him into an induced coma until the middle of next year and just keep his writing hand workable. Every time he opens his mouth his handlers run for cover.

Saw a video years ago of him driving it during an interview maybe when he was VP. I think he said it had a 327 w/4 bl.

Thanks. I couldn’t believe the clip I saw of ole Joe telling Doocy “The garage was locked. And so was the Corvette.”

I was too dumbfounded that he actually said that to laugh out loud. :)

The media is already forming a virtually impenetrable defensive line, preventing any serious inquiry to occur. Suicide bombers like Hank Johnson and JoyBehar are attacking the very foundations of reality. This issue will be stonewalled like we have never seen before in American history.

If his garage isn’t a SCIF, it’s a crime.

It’s all just a big misunderstanding.

Press Secretary Buckwheat says Joe thought the docs had been ‘Vetted, so the garage was the logical place to store them.

I wonder how many boxes were loaded in the Corvette and then dropped in the secret service drop boxes next to the ice cream stand.
Top secret drop box.. Code word Salvation... Secret Service on Duty at Drop Box.

President EV-Face has two gas guzzling hot rods, not just one. He has a Smokey and the Bandit era Trans Am too.

The Stop Oil peeps need to glue themselves to those cars.
