Biden’s handlers did not just suddenly discover troves of purloined classified documents. You are watching the coverup — of an even bigger scandal — in real time.

I have figured this. But he doesn’t reveal what that is.
Bt the way, welcome to FR.
Did they find his chil?d porn?
Biden possession of docs is why they went after Trump. Now they can say if we prosecute Biden then we’ll have to prosecute trump. See how the deep-state works?
Pathetic teaser tweet. Absolutely useless. Waste of bits.

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.

Fundamental difference being as presidentTrump had the authority to declassify documents and as vice president Biden did not.
The pictures of little girls is the secret lever that will be used to pry Joe away from running again in 2024, or if he seems uncooperative at this point, then to initiate the provisions of the 25th Amendment. Oh, there will be al kinds of specious and even precious explanations, but one way or another, Joe is a one-term president.
We would never even have heard about them had the Republicans not won the House, but now that the Republican House plans to investigate, they need a way to justify withholding documents from Congress. This is it.
I think the documents definitely reveal the blackmail and Corruption from Hunter’s business dealings in Ukraine. But what is the bigger cover-up? It had to mean that someone else knew of those documents for the doj to swoop in and cover them up
Hunter was selling docs to the Chinese Commies. Got sloppy (just like dad, he screws things up) and did not get rid of what was left over.
Biden the DMC handy work in action like nobody saw that coming
Yes, since Trump’s legitimate election
Everything they’ve went after him about has oddly..or not so oddly... paralleled everything the dims have ACTUALLY done..more or less.
More collision with China $$than Russia.
Violations of classified Top Secret
Likely income tax violations.
Not to mention Brandon is a 3 time loser,illegitimate and a pervert.
One would think that there would be at least 1 person in the syphilitic journalism/media realm that would take the injection of penicillin and cure themselves of being government concubines…nah, what was I thinking.
Ah yes. The old 5 page trove.
I would suggest the ‘rogue-folks’ arranged for one single document at the Biden-Center to be found, which triggered the WH insider folks to react. I’d also suggest the top priority (weeks ahead of the election) was to keep the AG/DoJ out of the mess.
I think at some point, the same rogue-folks baited enough for the AG to talk about this (after the election), to stall the incoming House from a big investigation.
But the big bait on the hook now is that receipt showing Hunter paying ‘dad’ $49k a month for the house/garage. It’s enough for impeachment.
Also...Newsom has been sent the signal several months ago...when Joe goes, Harris will select him as the VP.
Keep hunter out of the news and maybe prevent prosecution. Trade me for him. me for him.
