Report: Biden Admin Officials Blame National Archives for Joe Biden’s Classified Document Scandal
Breitbart ^ | 01/13/2023 | Wendell Husebo

Former and current Biden administration officials have reportedly blamed the National Archives for mishandling President Joe Biden’s classified documents stashed in three separate locations.

According to a Friday CNN report that cited “former and current administration officials and others familiar with the process,” the National Archives refused to treat then-Vice President Biden’s records with the “same high regard” as it did former President Obama’s records.

“While the National Archives sends staff members to the White House to gather files and papers of the President, they do not treat all vice presidential papers with the same high regard, officials said,” CNN reported.

This after the NARA attack drones have been dutifully assaulting President Trump on behalf of partisan Democrats. Clearly, there is no honor among thieves and Marxist Democrats.

Yes, Trump’s new National Archives director did not know what they were doing and messed this up.

Has any ‘news’ investigators looked into jb’s parents ancestry?
Just curious.

We KNOW about the closer relatives, which never make the light of day, other than to white wash and bury like they do hillary, the liar.

The spin on this is demented.

A classic case of stupidly digging the hole deeper and deeper...

Well now, I wonder if the Archives found their fall guy beforehand? If not, the hole keeps getting bigger.

I'm getting terribly confused here.....

Just what is the National Archives?

Does everyone that works there have the highest possible clearances?

Do they do the same thing for the FBI CIA DOJ and all the other alphabet agencies?

Do they store all the highly classified material forever...and who oversees them? Congress?

I have many more questions about how it does or was designed to operate but this a start if any FReeper understands it....

Thanks in advance...

I wonder, does the FBI check for fingerprints on the documents? Silly me! It’s the FBI (Flatulent Bullshitters International).

It seems like the liberal democrats running the National Archives didn’t really care about this issue until Trump was leaving the White House.

This sounds very familiar.

The part where Trump is continually being treated differently than other Presidents is getting old.

“While the National Archives sends staff members to the White House to gather files and papers of the President, they do not treat all vice presidential papers with the same high regard, officials said,” CNN reported.

That's not how NARA operates at all. It's up to the agencies and individual offices do the document gathering, boxing, and transmittal to NARA for processing. I bet they never heard of a SF-135 either...

McClain and company are now just flailing trying to find some explanation that sticks.

I'll give you the brief rundown...

I'm getting terribly confused here..... Just what is the National Archives?

See here at this link: What is the National Archives and Records Administration?

Does everyone that works there have the highest possible clearances?

No, most NARA employees are low-level staffers without clearances. Only the senior most archivists and classified records specialists have clearances. And to do research in classified records, you have to jump through a bunch of hoops first, including establishing a "need to know" and getting written permission from the originating agency (usually via FOIA or subpoena) before they let you have access to your targeted documents in the classified research room.

Do they do the same thing for the FBI CIA DOJ and all the other alphabet agencies?

Yes, they process and archives records for all agencies. But it's up to the agencies themselves to retire their old records, which are usually held in the various federal records centers (warehouses), like the one in Suitland, Maryland. When records are retired, they are transmitted to NARA along with Standard Forms-135 for processing, which involves an archivist or archivists going through them and deciding what is relevant and worthy of keeping, and disposing of the rest. Only about 5% of the paper generated by the government is actually preserved.

Do they store all the highly classified material forever...and who oversees them? Congress?

Sometimes forever but not always. Most records have a disposal schedule...some are kept for 5 years or 10 years, and then burned or shredded. Others are kept permanently. And NARA is an independent agency supervised by the General Services Administration, and not Congress, even though Congress controls its budget.

I have many more questions about how it does or was designed to operate but this a start if any FReeper understands it....

You can get more info about its organization here:

Thanks in advance

You're welcome!

these were miss handled when he was vice president, under the Obama administration? They make absolutely no sense.

Remember Bill and Hillary stealing WH furniture? They blamed the movers.

How do Dems get away talking about caring for the “little people “? That’s a rhetorical question.
