A better question would be...if Biden thought there were no "surprises" to be found in that office...why wouldn't he simply have some workmen box everything up...put it in a truck and ship it wherever?
I don't have to prove intent. Biden had classified materials in his possession as Vice President and is basically now claiming that he simply misplaced them! If he did misplace them then that's gross negligence. Case closed. And that's if anyone REALLY buys the bullshit that Biden didn't know he had those documents!
Having TS/SCI documents outside of a SCIF was / is a crime.
- A VP can ONLY have access to TS/SCI info in conducting official business - moving out of the WH is NOT 'official business'.
Moving TS/SCI documents without doing so by legal requirements (Courier letter, special packaging, security, etc...) was / is a crime.
Placing them in an unsecure location was / is a crime.
- Placing and keeping TS/SCI in an abandoned insecured personal office in a building paid for / provided by the Chinese - who were paying Biden and his aides - is sure as hell illegal.
- Placing and keeping TS/SCI documents in an unauthorized, unsecure GARAGE was / is a crime.
Not having physical control of the documents, not having physical control of who has access to TS/SCI was / is a crime.
Judas Priest! Why are we even arguing about this and / or attempting to protect this PROVEN corrupt, criminal, treasonous, lying, influence peddling, NATIONAL SECURITY-DAMAGING POS?!
Democrats and snowflakes want people to take their eyes off the big picture, the obvious, and want to drag them down into the minutia in an attempt to successfuly use language, semantics, and bullshit to cause people to lose sight of what all of this case comes down to...
WHICH IS THIS:
1. Biden illegally took TS/SCI documents with him when he left.
2. Some of those were relocated to an unsecure, unauthorized private office in a building paid for / provided by the Chinese. There was no security, no control of who had access, no record of who had access - for 5 years.
3. Some of those highly classified Intel Reports on Ukraine and Iran were relocated to Biden's unsecure, unauthorized GARAGE and some to inside his unsecure, unauthorized home...where there was no physical means to control the classified documents, no way to control who had access to the classified documents, and - again - no record of any kind of who had access to these areas and the docuents.
Excuses don't matter.
'What if's don't matter.
These facts are what all this noils down to.
And once again, Joe 'The Buck Stops Here' Biden and his clown posse arectrying to defend him / protect his ass...when there is no defense - just excuses and lies.
