[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, I ask again why aren’t those responsible for tracking classified materials being scrutinized? Who is addressing the issue to prevent these happening again?[/quote]

The people responsible are Pence, Biden, and Trump. If classified documents are found in your home, it’s on you, not on the agency/department that the information originally came from. They had a responsibility to safeguard it.[/quote]

As I said before..... One can almost understand how classified items might be removed by a president or VP - they get classified briefings in their offices.

But, not a Senator.  A Senator can only view classified material in a SCIF.  You cannot take documents out.

How did Biden get items from his Senate days out of a SCIF?????[/quote]

Depends on what classification level.  Not all types of classified documents are required to be kept in a SCIF.

I would also note that all of this breathless commentary completely lacks any nuance or level of sophisication to make any kind of determinations whatsoever.

As we learned from "But Her Emails" there have been cases where documents without markings or classification of any kind whatsoever were retroactively made classified, without bothering to notify anyone already in possession of those documents.

There have also been cases of things being called out as "classified" because they had markings, yet had already been declassified long ago.[/quote]
