DonSiblon Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 (edited) US President Joe Biden's aides have found a fresh batch of classified government records at a second location, in a growing political embarrassment for the White House. The first cache was found at a private office in Washington DC that Mr Biden used after his vice-presidency. The matter is under review by the US Department of Justice. Former President Donald Trump is facing a criminal investigation for allegedly mishandling classified files. It was not yet clear on Wednesday when or where the additional tranche of files was found by Biden aides. The original batch of about 10 documents was discovered in November at the Penn Biden Center, a think tank near the White House, but only came to light this week. Those papers reportedly include US intelligence memos and briefing materials related to Ukraine, Iran and the United Kingdom. They relate to his time as vice-president under President Barack Obama but it is unclear why they turned up in a private office he started using after that.

beautiful player Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 It’s kinda funny. For now, I’m not pressed. Only a measly handful of docs, turned over with a quickness and full cooperation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of interesting that you assumed I was defending Biden. I'm not, but just a few months ago this was deemed as a non-issue by the other side when their fave was found to not only have held documents illegally, but lied several times after the fact and refused to surrender them. How is pointing that out a declaration that what Biden did was correct? 43 minutes ago, ClashAndBurn said: Biden was VICE President when he "inadvertently" stole the documents and held onto them for six whole years.

I was just pointing out the ridiculousness of the GOP's argument, which was that Trump did not commit a crime.

I'm saying that Biden's case is even less justifiable. Trump's case is more egregious, of course, but he can hide behind being president. Biden can't.

I'm merely pointing out that a few months ago, this wasn't a problem for the GOP. Now it is because the other side was culpable.

JustLikeHoney Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) Difference his staff found them and turned them in. I think Garland handled it great by appointing a special council quickly. Garland was appointed by Biden. It's a conflict of interest. And it stops Republicans from saying Biden had special treatment. It took 1 year since the initial request for Trump to return his documents for them to be returned only by FBI raid because Trump claimed he own them and he magically unclassified them with his special mind powers. It was also only like 12 documents that were probably inadvertently mixed in vs 300 classified documents the Trump had.
