Documents?

Why did it take 6 years for these documents come to be found now? If they were top secret, wouldn’t someone have been alerted sooner? It sounds confusing but if they were found just now, then someone needs to be investigated? Biden did not have them in his possession like Trump did! Biden didn’t wave his hands and declare them unclassified! Biden did not steal them and then take them to Delaware! Biden didn’t say that the papers were his! You get the just! All to conspicuous to the very least?

6. From what I saw on Twitter it sounded like they were daily briefings

Biden would have still received them after 2016.

But I haven't seen anything firm.
I suppose they could've been planted, but I think we'd have heard from Rudy or Roger Stone, or one of those ratfuckers, back before the election if they had been.
Regardless, the case sounds radically different that TFG's - but that's not going to stop Gym Jordan from investigating and impeaching.

CNN)Among the items from Joe Biden's time as vice president discovered in a private office last fall are 10 classified documents including US intelligence memos and briefing materials that covered topics including Ukraine, Iran and the United Kingdom, according to a source familiar with the matter.

But doesn't say from when. But you're right, may be from around that same time, funeral arrangement time.

Agree GOP would have used this information by now. Although I vaguely remember FG saying all presidents do it, keep docs

8. If they are going to lie, go all out....

If there is one grain of truth.... and we have to disprove 5 lies, the feel vindicated.

The amount of lies repeated remains.

My son has a 1776 jacket and he doesn't believe my "fact checks" because I "rely on the MSM" who is "fake news"

12. I know I sound like a broken record but I don't understand why no one

Is calling into a question the overall control of classified and top secret documents?

It was my first thought, even when the FG was hoarding them, " Why doesn't anyone seem to know what is missing & who has them? People said, Oh THEY know". Well now should be obvious THEY don't.

14. Bureaucracies are slow and inefficient when responding to these sort of things

And I'm sure the National Archives wasn't a funding priority.

15. I read half of their procedures and gave up. Extremely

Decentralized to a fault. Only as good as the entity that views. Who controls/produces the most top secret docs? That's where I'd be looking
