[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here -- the handling procedures need to be reviewed with politicians on a regular basis going forward. People are losing confidence that documents are handled properly, and these things inflame one side or the other. The politicians seem so casual in handling these docs.

Please show where the Biden archive was causal in handling these documents before you go bOtH-sIdInG this.[/quote]

Doesn't matter if these documents were under lock and key if they were not at the proper storage facility. That is casual. Accidents happen. Get the darn documents from every politician who no longer has a right to keeping them. It's great that people were aware enough to say they found classified materials that need to be put away. They should've been put away years ago. Since they were not on several occasions in the recent past, the process needs to be improved. I guess you don't care some future politician walks away -- purposely or not -- with SCI documents. I'm not calling for criminal charges -- I'm calling for standard process improvement.[/quote]

Not sure what “process improvement” needs to happen when any idiot who possesses a security clearance knows that classified documents are not to be removed from classified settings (SCIFs) unless they are being transported using appropriate protocols. However these documents got out (in Trump’s case or now in Biden’s) is extreme recklessness and should be prosecuted. You don’t just suddenly look down at your home desk and realize you’ve got some classified docs there that were “accidentally” removed. There are already very clear procedures in place for removing those documents and if you screw up, you are liable. For the common man, there is no allowance for mishaps, forgetting to return documents, transporting documents through means other than zippered and locked bags….if you screw it up, you are liable regardless of intent. There is no “whoops” in the mishandling of classified documents.

Do I think Biden purposely withheld those documents and threw them in a box in his garage? Probably not. But this points to extreme sloppiness in the handling of classified materials on the part of his office and staff, and that’s no small thing.

For all the people bending over backwards to say that storing classified material in a garage is better than Mar a Lago, just stop.  None of it is okay. There’s so “well this situation is different…”.  I despise Trump, always have, always will…but Saying that the Biden camp has been absolutely forthcoming with three or four different locations of materials found supposedly three months or so after Biden ripped Trump for being so careless and irresponsible (and rightfully so) doesn’t make Biden’s story any better.
