If the Biden "lawyers" turned over the documents to the Archives and to the DOJ...?

Why would they then turn them over to the press?

Eventually, CBS and NBC got word of the documents but did they get their information from someone at the National Archives, or perhaps the Dept of Justice?

How do we know the DOJ would want them to inform the press at the time of discovery?

They attempted to retrieve the Trump documents without a lot of noise but Trump made a big deal of it and took it to the press. Otherwise, we may not have known about the search?

nothing sinister about it. If shithole would have cooperated, they would have still appointed a special counsel to investigate, but he refused and lied, lied, lied, blame, blame, blame, which made it very sinister.

We need some reporting on how often this kind of thing actually happens that we don’t hear about, Because it’s not news
