You guys are never happy. Nothing wrong with the Corvette, it’s a beautiful car sought out by your prototypical rich guy with the money to buy such things and the ability to seek out top notch hair replacement therapy. The dopey part was his insinuation that he treated issues of national security on par with his Corvette. FYI—I’ve never run the numbers, but I’d say I’m happy about 95% of the time.

Gets you potentially court martialed and in jail in other, less privileged but supposed to be just as responsible organizations. Totally irresponsible and stupid. I had one experience with this during service time. We had a safe where the stuff was stored, and materials were logged in and out. One guy checked out a TS document which was not allowed out of the squadron building. We do doing an Air Force thing at Nellis, and somebody spotted the red cover and binder in the back of a rental. The guy was not prosecuted, but offered a deal he couldn't refuse. He was out of the service in one month. The items likely discussed in the presidential/vice presidential nonsense were likely briefing documents that are prepared by intel orgs for reading. Staff members should be tasked with providing them and returning them. Just gross failures and negligence. 3

The MEDIA and lefties want people to focus on the basement. But the real deal is the classified docs found in his Office at the Penn, Biden Think tank. the one where his office did not even open till 2018. and was found by his personal lawyers. Biden had no authority to even see them in 2018, better yet have them at that very shady think tank. (Blinken also worked at, at the same time) Same with his Personal lawyers that found them back in November.

I can’t think of a single instance in which this is true. We are talking about a guy who obtained much of his wealth through fraud, avoided taxes by lying, routinely flouts the law, commits obstruction as such a normal part of his day that literally half the Mueller report was about him obstructing Justice, and refused to return documents he shouldn’t have, even lying about them to law enforcement. At this point, it’s more likely that Trump is three kids in a trench coat than it is that he cooperates with law enforcement. 1 2

Half the Mueller report has now been found out to be pure falsehoods. more like propaganda to control a narrative than an investigation. Similar to the 9/11 one. IF he was criminal, he would have a criminal record. IE, a conviction. Shady, hell yeah. Criminal? that would have this thing called a criminal record to make it so. or at least one conviction. BTW. when did Mueller know Sussman was working for Clinton? he kind of left that entire part out.

ChiGoose Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 (edited) Ok, so I know this is absolutely pointless because Occam’s Razor is apparently illegal on this site, but what do we think is more likely given the known facts: 1. When packing up Biden’s things at the end of the Obama administration, classified documents were inadvertently included with his things. When this was discovered many years later, he notified authorities and kicked off a search of all of his stuff to see if there were more documents that needed to be turned over. 2. Biden intentionally took classified documents for nefarious reasons and then suddenly decided that he wanted to get in trouble for it, so he called up the authorities to confess. And instead of just handing everything over, he handed the documents over in batches to keep the story in the headlines and continue to hurt himself politically. The facts we have only support scenario 1 but it seems like most people here believe scenario 2 because it feels good to them. “Feelings over facts” should be the motto of PPP. BTW: It’s good that DoJ appointed a conservative special counsel to investigate Biden. If it comes out that this was all intentional, he should face consequences. It’s just that the current facts don’t support that conclusion. Edited January 16, 2023 by ChiGoose 1

Yeah, and it was wrong for him to have them. But in terms of legal consequences, he isn’t facing serious repercussions at this point because it appears to be a case of negligence and cooperation with law enforcement, not intentional with obstruction. 1 1

Good question for the special counsel but if I had to guess: in a box with other stuff. That’s generally how I’ve done it when I have moved.

He was out of the service in one month. Exactly. One of my experiences in the civilian sector: I supervised a guy who was, without a doubt, the most honest person I ever supervised in the federal government. He would take half a day off for a dentist appointment, then email me to say the appointment went unusually fast and he only needed to take an hour and a half of leave. And lots of other things like that when no one was looking. He was working with a classified file. He got distracted by a call or email or whatever. He went to the restroom, leaving the file on his desk. No reason to think anyone saw it; he was gone for 5 minutes. He called me to self-report a violation. I had to refer it up. That triggered a full investigatory team from DC. They interviewed him. They investigated whether he had any unusual contacts recently. The interviewed everyone with access to his office. Thank goodness they finally found (correctly) no potential damage to national security. He kept his job (and got promoted to my job later on) with just a letter or reprimand: "be more careful." That's one document, one honest guy, one honest mistake, one immediate self-report. Biden, like Trump, will get the full treatment, and he deserves it. His sloppiness or whatever has, at a minimum, taken away a really good talking point for him in the next election. Right now the apparent immediate self-report upon (apparently) discovering the docs is a positive, but we don't -- and won't -- know the full story for some time. 1 1
