I completely agree, but I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that this was the result of an intern/aide/similarly low person on the totem pole fucking up because procedures in the past have been lax. I highly suspect this isn’t new and has happened in every administration and that the way documents are handled when high level government officials travel outside of the White House needs to be completely overhauled.
Good to know that apparently no one is keeping track of these classified documents at all.  This shit is ridiculous.  Time to audit everyone that had access to classified documents.
If you can't be bothered to log and track every copy of a document then it shouldn't be classified. >

Does no one realize that it was the last Administration that didn't bother to check on documents?? People keep stating "it was 6 years ago!" and ignore the fact that it was a failure of the last Administration to not ensure all documents had been returned. >

It’s a failure on everyone not just the previous admin.  Biden had a responsibility to turn them over.  Nara should have come looking for them.  Someone should have been keeping track of them.  Failures all around here. >

Biden should have returned them, true, but last count was 6 pages, iirc. It's easy to overlook a handful of pages during the turnover at the end of an Administration. Had NARA done is job under the last Administration, those documents would have been requested back, as happened under the current Administration and the missing documents found in FL. >

We’re gonna have to start tying classified docs to giant blocks of wood like an elementary school bathroom pass so people stop taking this shit home and pretending it’s an accident. >

I hope Obama, Clinton and Bush ask to have National Archive staff scrub their offices too. All this stuff should be digital these days with better scrub tools. >

The reason they aren't digital is because its harder for spies to obtain them. However, that was under the guise of spies not being in office capable of taking them. >

As Simon R Green put in his Nightside Series
"You can't hack paper." >

Incorrect. I have a paper here, it is hacked into bits. >

Dear lord it’s Jason Bourne. >

If our Presidents could stop taking classified documents home that would be great. >

Vice president (at the time) in Bidens case. >

I think you are underestimating the volume of classified data the government handles on a routine basis. I dealt with classified stuff all the time even as a fairly junior person when I was in the military. At the executive level of government, I’m sure almost everything you see is classified. The threshold for something being classified is: information that could impact national security. I’m not saying it’s ever okay to mishandle this stuff, but saying the VP doesn’t need access to it is a big leap. >


why is the VP so disorganized he's accidentally misplacing them?

They were in his private office without his knowledge, it's not like he was storying Top Secret documents in his pool house or something. >


He mishandled classified documents. That's illegal.

That's not inherently true, or even what happened here. >

Where has the DOJ said Biden broke the law? So far as I know their only comments on the situation are acknowledging that he had several classified documents and turned them over within a timely manner. >

This is just going to pour more fuel on the fire. >

If it helps, conservatives were going to continue to lose their minds regardless of what Biden did or didn't do. >

They may be less likely to call on Biden to resign though. They're much more afraid of a President Harris. >

That's the insane part that any of them pretended to be afraid of Biden, a rational centrist who doesn't have an extreme bone in his body.
Meanwhile, Harris made a big show of locking up tons of people as A.G.
Bernie Sanders, these people are not >

Not to mention, Harris is a fairly horrible person, runs a shitty office, and did some shady AF shit as AG. >

So do all powerful people. >

And as a democrat, I think he should be held accountable for it if it’s found that he broke the law. 
But that’s the difference, isn’t it?
Conservatives circle the wagons when their man breaks the law.
