The White House on Thursday said it is confident that an investigation into the discovery of classified documents will find that President Biden accidentally misplaced them. “We are confident that a thorough review will show that these documents were inadvertently misplaced, and the President and his lawyers acted promptly upon discovery of this mistake,” Richard Sauber, special counsel to the president, said in a statement. Sauber added that the White House has “cooperated closely with the Justice Department throughout its review” and “will continue that cooperation with the Special Counsel.” The statement comes after Attorney General Merrick Garland announced earlier...

Would be president John Kerry seems to have a few national security ethics problems before he even gets to the nominating convention. Or perhaps we can illustrate better with a question: Besides being rabid liberals, what do Joseph C. Wilson IV, Jamie Gorelick, Richard Ben-Veniste, Richard Clarke, and Sandy Berger all have in common?
