Let's get this straight- the MSM spent days, weeks and months pressing for Trump to be locked up because he had top secret documents under lock and key at Mar-a-largo. Documents that as President, he had full and complete authority to declassify.
Now we learn that as Vice President, Joe Biden had top secret documents stored (and forgotten about) in at least two different locations. He apparently doesn't even recall what the documents were related to, although inside sources tell us the documents covered topics including Ukraine, Iran and the United Kingdom.
WANT THE LATEST NEWS?
Then this is for you!
And, then we learn that Mr. Biden had top secret documents stored and forgotten about in at least two different locations. One would think that the MSM would be all over this story, right? Especially given the immense coverage they devoted to Mr. Trump and his documents (which really were under lock and key and not forgotten about). Oh, hell no...
Instead, the time has 'now come to reform the classification process' according to CNN. Yes, they do mention that the documents should never have been in unauthorized locations. And, they point out that it is a serious breach of security protocol and a threat to national security any time properly classified documents are removed from authorized locations.
But, they then go onto more or less excuse Mr. Biden (but not Mr. Trump) by suggesting that Trump's West Wing was chaotic and Obama's (and by extension, Biden's VP) wasn't.
And, perhaps it's time to look at how top secret documents are classified. They suggest that perhaps those documents Mr. Biden forgot about aren't really top secret. Uh huh...
'That we are even talking about this issue, though, speaks to a second and separate matter, namely that of overclassification. This does not mean the documents held by Trump or Biden were improperly classified; I am not privy to that information. But mishandling of classified documents does happen.
There are millions of clearance holders in the federal bureaucracy, and the default desire to overclassify documents out of excessive abundances of caution means that there is simply too much classified paperwork floating around to properly manage.'
