Psaki on Biden classified docs: 'This is likely sloppy staff work during a transition' - The ReidOut



President Biden’s team discovered and immediately returned a small batch of classified documents from his time as vice president To the National Archives a little over two months ago. At the end of December, the president’s team discovered that additional documents were found at his Delaware home. Those too were immediately turned over.

Now, Attorney General Merrick Garland has appointed a special counsel for the Biden documents, when it took forever to do the same for Donald Trump. Jen Psaki, MSNBC host and former White House press secretary joins Joy Reid to discuss. - Aired on 01/12/2023.

Though the timing of their being discovered at this particular time is unfortunate.

but why hasn't there been any recriminations against those at NARA? Can one just go check out the "classified" stuff for a piece of good chocolate to the librarian on a bad day? Generally, those are consumed on contact, so no wrapper or it didn't happen??? How many pieces for the Area 51 folder??? Those might be the first documents I'd let slide out the door for a few Frango Mints, LOL!!!
