I think Biden if found to be involved in wrongdoing he would have a good case to use incompetency as a defense and I'm not kidding.
Lol!! Yeah, how bad is it when someone says "I'm incompetent" and everyone just kind of nods and says "OK, fair point"?
Can’t make this stuff up..
We are seeing a trend among our elected politicians, they don’t understand classified information.. Hillary, then Trump, now Biden..
The incompetent line is funny.. stuff of talk show entertainers.. shouldn’t it be phrased as a question?
When I retired Wifey and I went through all my paperwork (and hers) and shredded anything remotely tied to her work or my work for the government. I took a sledgehammer to two laptops as well. Yeah, being President, or running for President, would mean more residual paperwork, but the concept is the same - just do it. And, if you can't do it, pay someone to do it for you.

Nobody in Washington seems to be able to be trusted with these documents. They forever seem to leave them lying about loose.
How about a new rule - if you want to use these documents, you go to them instead of them being brought to your exalted poobahness? Part of the problem is these people seem to think they are too important to actually be inconvenienced in any way.
Not too shabby. I like it. Or, perhaps they could have one room in the White House where sensitive/classified documents are kept and viewed.Quote:

Just a thought..
When I was in charge, the buck stopped with me. It was up to me to devise appropriate rules and processes for how work got done and to monitor to ensure that these were being followed. If a client had a complaint, they came to me and I took appropriate action.
My staff, so my responsibility.
Looks like they have found more classified docs at a separate location
Damnable things were always sticking to the bottoms of people's shoes. Worse than gum.
Hoist with his own petard!
(fun fact - that quote, from Hamlet, uses the word "petard", which by the 1600s referred to an explosive charge but which stems from the Middle French "peter", meaning to fart explosively. Keep that in mind for anyone you know bearing that name!!)
Classified docs turning up at two of Biden's locations/offices creates suspicion in my mind it's more than a few innocent errors.

I know in my daze of bosshood there were several times when I would ask an underling why they didn’t have the courtesy to give me a “heads up” about the bone head move that they just did “for me”..

Note to self: As Phillbo's campaign manager, be sure to thoroughly search the Swedish bikini team's locker room and the Lebanese trampoline training gym for classified documents, especially videos and photos...:flash:...Ben
I think the huge deal with Trump had more to do with his refusal to cooperate. Had he done so, I doubt he'd be in this fix.
But I agree that it seems that no one can be trusted to act appropriately with these documents. Top secret documents at a private residence? That's insane.
Yep just more of Trump being Trump.
I'll just leave this here so y'all can say it's Russian Disnfo .

I think Biden is going to be okay on this one. Several major media outlets along with some Democratic representatives are suggesting that the documents were planted. Whew I thought we were going to have to go through all that Trump stuff again.
That's why it's nice to have a special counsel. They don't care about media speculation or conspiracy theories.
I think two things make Biden's case different than Trump's.
1. Biden has a current right to the documents. Trump did not.
2. Biden didn't try to stonewall the DOJ. Trump did.
Neither should have happened.
Absolutely agree that his case is different, but according to the statute the criminality of it possibly is the same.
Hey! Maybe Joe should pull a Trump and just declassify everything. Problem solved! /sarcasm
:hatoff: to AG Garland---I think he did exactly what he should have done---for the good of the country :clap:
