The Biden Administration and All Things Politics

Is this a joke?
You know it was the DOJ who did the search, right? The WH said they turned everything over all ready…

Do you just respond to respond?

Driving the news: The search, which Bauer said took place at the invitation of the president's personal attorneys, uncovered documents that were from Biden's time as vice president and a senator.

  • DOJ asked that the search remain private until after it took place, “in accordance with its standard procedures, and we agreed to cooperate,” Bauer said.
  • Neither the president nor the first lady was at the Wilmington residence at the time, according to Richard Sauber, a member of the White House Counsel’s Office.

Who does the DoJ work for, in your mind?
 
Frontrunner for the GOP presidential nomination.

“The world has lost one of its brightest stars,” Trump said. “But I see that we have another star who was equal to, but she stepped up and she is different. I’m serious, I thought I knew them both, I didn’t. I knew Diamond, but I didn’t know Silk at all. I just learned about Silk. You’re fantastic, you’re going to carry on beyond, beyond anybody’s wildest imaginations.”
After this belittlement for Hardaway’s partner-in-crime, Trump went on to — once again — claim without evidence that the 2020 election was stolen from him. This was accompanied by Trump breaking from the Hardaway honorifics in order to rail about the state of the country on a variety of fronts.

“How do we stop the cheating? How do we stop it where you get more votes, but you still don’t win?” Trump whined. “The answer is the Republicans have to get tougher, the top people have to get tougher, and you have to really swamp ’em.”
 
WTF.
Im not cool with it. This shouldn't happen imo. Its not their property. Its property of the united states. I could have devastating consequences if falling into the wrong hands. Shouldn't be handled so carelessly. By any of these people. I say make an example of each of them. Go after Biden and Pence as well as trump. Maybe the next guy wont be so careless.
 
I think part of any kind of punishment needs to center around what they do when it is discovered. Do they immediately comply and return said documents, and support a full investigation, or do they deflect and try to cover up and impede the investigation. The former should still result in a censure of some kind. The latter should be a much stiffer penalty, up to and including jail time.
 
It turns out that it's a general problem with document security. If it wasn't national security info, I would suggest the answer is just to never print anything out, but I can definitely say that if it was all online, on anything less secure than an air-gapped computer (and maybe not even that would be enough) it would get hacked.

Maybe elect people who are young enough to remember what they're doing?

I think they need to have someone (or multiple someones, in the case of POTUS and VPOTUS, but Secretaries, senators, and such can maybe get away with 1 each) whose only job is documents. They maintain absolute control over them - they can't know what is in them, but they know where they are at all times.
