Legal expert pours cold water on GOP's Biden document freakout

[stopdiggin]

27. like I said, 'differences', "doesn't mean the same"

and yada, yada, yada.

Classified documents, apparently unknown and unaccounted for, squirreled away in some forgotten 'closet' - and warning bells go off the moment they're discovered. It is a (desperately small) caveat that the Biden team did attempt to handle this better upon discovery. (to which the Rs are only going to say, "well, of course you did - after pillorying TFG for months on end for the same thing!".) But that doesn't really alter the fact that the documents were removed, handled casually, forgotten, and then come to light only during a 'clean up' operation.

And the over arching fact remains - Joe Biden 'F'-d up! Capital 'F'! Came at wonderful time (w/ Trump foundering). And it destroyed ('undercut' if you prefer kinder appellations) a lot of the high ground that the government (and Dems) had on the issue. You can try to make lemonade if you want to ... Ain't gonna' fly.
