CNN is right wing propaganda now that a MAGA owns it…
Oddly enough I don't have them in my home either. >

Are you also a former Vice President storing classified documents at your home? >



knowingly * storing classified documents at your home?


FTFY >

Negligence isn't an excuse. >

Why don't you get to the part where all parties become aware of the situation and the former Vice President returns them without fuss in contrast to a former President who refused. >

Trump's conduct being worse doesn't absolve Joe Biden. >

As long as each faces equal treatment under the law. >

Agreed. People here seem to think that because Trump's conduct is worse that Joe Biden's isn't bad though. A lot of hypocrites. >

I've seen a huge majority of people here honestly condemning Biden for having the documents. We all mostly agree he deserves the heat for this. There of course will be a small amount of outliers just like everywhere though.
We can both condemn Biden and at the same time talk shit about Trump. Talking about Trump doesn't soften the Biden story or vice-versa because they are two vastly different situations. >

“Like every President across decades of modern history, his personal residence is personal,” the counsel’s office said in a statement Monday morning. “But upon taking office, President Biden restored the norm and tradition of keeping White House visitors logs, including publishing them regularly, after the previous administration ended them.” >

Nicely stated. >

It's not like Biden's home is a resort or anything. >

"Resort" >

Are you supposed to keep visitor logs to your home? >

If youre storing classified material I would argue yes. >

What does the law argue? >

Just my own opinion. 
I would have like to see Mar lago logs too, has nothing to do with Biden >

A hotel and private club likely does have visitor logs.
Legal requirements should be part of the discussion, not just our opinions. >

Im all for making it a legal requirement that the president should make this a requirement. 

A hotel and private club likely does have visitor logs.

Im sure but its also a residence, right? We dont have to agree, I think Trump and Biden should keep a list of people they host. 
I wouldnt mind a caveat for relatives. >

I fail to see why the current scenario you just laid out is preferable to just mandating logs >

Im more addressing a specific aspect of what you said, that mar a lago is a residence. A personal residence and place of business that takes logs as a standard procedure are not the same thing. This is why the news article is drawing a false equivalence. 
If the rule is former presidents, or whoever, should log their visitors to their homes, mar a lago isn't a home, so he already beat your rule. If it's logging visitors in general, the distinction between home, business, and public place shouldn't matter. 
And while yes, being a public figure does remove some automatic guarantees to privacy, being a former official restores many of those lost rights. You're under public scrutiny because you are a public servant. it's generally accepted that when you leave, you are a private citizen again. The presumption of innocent until proven guilty and unreasonable search are also violated by this rule. Without proof of a former offense, you can not just impose arbitrary restrictions upon people.
Intelligence operations can also be doing less overt things to watch for compromise. If your opponent knows the rules its easy to subvert, but if they dont know how you are watching them, they can not as easily thwart you.
To me, it seems having a log is so easily subverted that it's a pointless effort. Logs won't say James Bond, international spy. They will say john smith, contractor. Given how easy it is for governments to falisfy those things unless you already know john smith is a spy, in which case you would be observing him already, you won't know what to look for unless you were already compromised and you found it. Which kind of defeats the whole point of the exercise.
Codifying ethics rules into law would be far more effective, in my opinion, than imposing observation after they leave office. Trump should never have gotten this far because he should have been removed 100 times over for corrupt behavior. >

Side question: how many foreign intelligence operatives have been arrested wandering around Biden’s home? >

A number between zero and none... >

So are we talking more “zilch” or “nada”?
