Government has become so corrupt that interactions with the media have devolved into the Press secretary begging the media to stop asking questions about blatant corruption while asking them not to be "contentious."

Reporters intensely grilled White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Wednesday over the classified documents found at President Joe Biden's former private office.

Important questions loom after the White House revealed Biden's personal attorneys discovered classified documents on Nov. 2, six days before the midterm election. The White House is stressing that Biden's team did the "right thing" and being transparent, but the administration is not answering why they waited more than two months to disclose the discovery.

CBS News reporter Ed O'Keefe pressed Jean-Pierre on that precise point.

"Why didn't he or someone in the White House inform the American people when these documents were discovered on Nov. 2?" O'Keefe asked. "Did it have anything to do — because people are asking this part of it — did it have anything to do with the fact that the election was just a few days away?"

The press secretary, however, refused to answer the question. But O'Keefe was not deterred.


"But here's another thing: There was nothing stopping the president of the United States from disclosing the discovery of these classified documents in his former office before it was under Justice Department review," the reporter followed up. "So why didn't he disclose it?"

In response, Jean-Pierre did not answer the question and deferred to Biden's comments.

Earlier in her exchange with O'Keefe, Jean-Pierre begged him not to be "contentious," saying, "We don't need to have this kind of confrontation." She promised to answer his questions, but only ignored them.

NBC News reporter Kristen Welker later confronted Jean-Pierre over Biden's promise to maintain a "spirit of transparency" as president.

"How is it possible that the White House did not reveal the presence of these documents prior to the election when they were found?" she asked, suggesting the delayed action contradicts Biden's promise.

Jean-Pierre, however, refused to answer that question. She vowed not to "go beyond" what the White House counsel's office said on Monday and what Biden said on Tuesday while in Mexico.

When Welker pressed her point, Jean-Pierre stressed that Biden's lawyers "did the right thing" by turning the documents over to the National Archives. She still did not answer why, if the White House is being transparent and did the "right thing," the administration waited two months after the election to disclose the discovery.

Finally, Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy used Biden's own words to question Jean-Pierre about the classified documents, recalling what he said about former President Donald Trump.

"On these documents: How could anyone be that irresponsible? Isn't that what his president says about mishandling classified documents?" Doocy asked.

In response, Jean-Pierre only said that Biden takes "seriously" proper handling of classified information and was "surprised" to learn that highly classified intelligence documents were stored at his private office.


Biden, of course, is so serious about classified documents that he allegedly mishandled them by retaining them in not just one, but at least two different locations. Details about the second batch of documents — including where they were stored, how many classified documents were improperly stored, and their level of classification — were not disclosed.

Impeachment by the House of Representatives should immediately proceed.
 
I don't even know why they do it. Whether it be that psaki lady or the black chick, neither of them that I ever heard actually said anything that was a genuine response that actually was truthful, insightful, or any real value. They were all just strings of random words that didn't actually have any meaning and strung together in white house pre approved ways.

The black one is even worse because all she is capable of doing is reading from a script. She barely functions having to talk off the top of her head.

The only reason to even bother listening to them is to hear when peter doocy shows up to make them stutter or blurt out some word salad because they can't handle his questions.
 
My prediction is that Karine will be leaving that post in the very near future. When ABC and CBS start asking hard questions then it's time to get out of Dodge! It's obvious she's not mentally equipped to spar with reporters if they start pressing her for answers. Before this she just had to stonewall Peter Doocy's one question and the others would feed her softball questions that she had canned answers for. Now some of the press corps seems to have remembered that they are "journalists" and are asking questions that challenge the Administration's spin! That's bad news for the dumbest Press Secretary we've ever had!

Yep, its all prepackaged garbage.

What part of it is not the job of the White House Press Secretary to comment on the President's personal legal issues do you not understand???? This is a matter for the President's Counsel to comment on.

The Press Secretary's job is to talk about policies, programs and the White House agenda. So no, she's not answering questions about Hunter Biden or classified documents.

Anything to gin up outrage among the Cult.

Do you not understand the legal concept of "firewalls"??????
 
Damn that's one vapid affirmative action hire.......Makes you pine for the soulless ginger Jen Psaki doesn't it?

You might have got the same canned answers but she would not be there playing the "confrontational" victim card.

This is what happens with an EQUITY hire!
