What If This Biden Document Thingy - Is A Set Up By The Dems & Biden To....

show the contrasts as to how to correctly deal with 'classified documents' versus the handling and the obstruction by Tr**p?

It gets Tr**p and the Repugs to think that they are pulling the wool over the eyes of the American People - that Biden did the same thing Tr**p did and Tr**p is just being persecuted with a 'witch hunt'.

But in the end - Biden will be exonerated and praised for the way he and his people handled the docs found on his premises and show the criminality of Tr**p in stealing the classified docs that he moved out of the WH - hid them - and continues to maintain - he did nothing wrong.

What if?

Teachable moments don't work with the repukes. All this has done is inflame the insanity caucus of the GOP. They're going to scream 'BIDEN'S A CRIMINAL! BIDEN'S A CRIMINAL!' until they have sore throats. And then they'll keep going using badly misspelled protest signs.

This means at least two years of Benghazi-style Congressional hearings, and possibly as many as three impeachment drives. (They want so desperately to get Trump out of the cellar.)

The best thing the President and his staff can do right now is just continue what they're doing, which is to ensure that this situation is handled strictly according to the law.

I don't. A year and a half vs. so fast it makes people's heads spin. This is going to be a Ken Starr-esque shitshow.

Some staffers were tasked with collecting Biden's papers at the end of his term as VP and sending them to his new office or his home. Said staffers either didn't know what they were doing, or didn't know what to look for, or got sloppy and didn't properly sort out what to keep and what to send to the NA. Upon investigation that's what they'll find; they'll discover that nobody involved meant to keep the papers or had any other improper intent; all documents were recovered; and the administration will announce that new procedures are being devised and put into place so no such mistakes will occur again.

If they find tfg did no harm with the documents? Maybe there is a good old Presidents club to the rescue? We will never know. Joe knows tfg is fucked in so many other ways. I don't think Joe is afraid to run against trump again if that is the issue. Joe will clobber him IMO.

So, no, to your suggestion. Garland betrayed all Americans with this stunt.

I think that is highly unlikely.

It's not a setup. But I will agree that Biden is handling this like a President should. Above board, openly, no obfuscation or delays in cooperation.

Biden and his team will handle it like responsible adults, while Dump will act like a rotten self-obsessed toddler with a full diaper….

At Biden’s spare office? Has it been reported what they were looking for, ie why they broke into Biden’s closet?
