Bombshell Hits Classified Docs Scandal - Biden Officials Knew, Scuttling President’s Defense

"While the supposedly accidental discovery of documents took place in November, when the Biden team notified the National Archives, they were not reported to the American public until CBS broke the story in January. (The Biden White House that had been attacking Trump for classified documents still in his possession clearly didn't want Americans making the obvious comparison.)
More documents were later "discovered" at
Biden's home in Wilmington, Delaware, with yet another batch supposedly turning up later at Biden's home.
Between May and October of 2022, according to the timeline,
numerous White House staffers -- including then-White House Counsel
Dana Remus --- inventoried the documents, packed them up, and even took some away.
There is no reasonable explanation as to why this many White House employees and lawyers were so concerned with retrieving boxes they believed only contained personal documents and materials.
Claims by
Biden and the Democrats that his classified document scandal was somehow better than the investigation surrounding Trump's handling of classified documents were based largely on the argument that Biden's team had been so forthcoming -- notifying the National Archives about the situation as soon as it was discovered, etc.
But that wasn't true, or even close to true, according to Comer's timeline.
"Biden insisted that he was entirely 'surprised' by the discovery of the documents in Nov. 2021," Turley wrote, citing establishment media accounts from January. "He echoed the narrative of both his lawyers and the media at large: 'And they did what they should have done,' he said. 'They immediately called the Archives -- immediately called the Archives, turned them over to the Archives, and I was briefed about this discovery.'”
If Comer's timeline is the truth -- Biden's statement is not. It's as simple as that.

And that raises the perennial Washington scandal question: "What did the president know and when did he know it?" WJ
