C’mon, Joe

in

After all the fuss over Trump having classified government documents in his office, now we find that Biden had some in his private office, too, even when he was not in office.

Yes, it’s not the same, as the Biden team has voluntarily returned the documents to the National Archives when they found them, while Trump was holding documents long after their return was ordered.

But, c’mon, Joe, it’s not a good look.

Standing Order

I’ve lost track, but I think this was excuse #3 from Trump and his team to explain the documents he said weren’t there, or were planted, or whatever.

Of course it’s a ridiculous statement and no way to manage classified information. That didn’t stop Trump’s team from trying to use it as a diversionary excuse.

But 18 former top Trump administration officials tell CNN they never heard any such order issued during their time working for Trump, and that they believe the claim to be patently false. Including two of Trump’s Chiefs of Staff, John Kelly and Mick Mulvaney.

Which is troubling. Cuz if they won’t let a former President get away with these lies, imagine what they can do to you.

Trump Goes Nuclear?

in

It’s been reported that the raid on Trump’s home was to retrieve classified documents related to nuclear weapons, among other items.

It’s also been reported that there were previous subpoenas to recover the documents. Merrick Garland says the FBI operation was signed off by him, and not undertaken lightly.

Garland and the DOJ have requested the warrant be unsealed, so we’ll know more details soon enough.

Clearly the former President needs nuclear secrets in his golf resort that’s notably frequented by agents from several other foreign countries.

Yeah. Totally normal.
