On Saturday an adviser to Joe Biden was forced to reveal that yet ANOTHER batch of classified documents has been found in the ex-vice president’s possession.
BREAKING: White House says five additional documents with ‘classified markings’ discovered in Biden’s Wilmington, Delaware home.

Unlike with President Trump, the media has treated this story with kid gloves, and although the White House press corps has asked questions that normally they wouldn’t dare ask a Democrat, it’s still far from “probing” or investigative on their parts. And certainly not wall to wall coverage and live updates on the FBI raiding Biden’s property.
You know, because the FBI hasn’t done that. FOR SOME REASON.
A lame statement was issued:
President Biden’s personal attorneys have followed a process, coordinated with the Archives and the Department of Justice, to review documents at the Penn Biden Center and the President’s Delaware residences.
The President’s personal attorneys conducting the searches do not have active security clearances, so if they identified a document with a classified marking, they stopped and did not review it, and suspended any further search in that box, file or other specific space where the document was found, as appropriate. Since the DOJ made contact with the President’s personal attorneys, the next step in the process was to notify DOJ and to arrange for DOJ to take possession of the document. This is what occurred in Wilmington on Wednesday when the President’s personal attorneys discovered one document with a classified marking consisting of one page in a room adjacent to the garage. At that point, the President’s personal attorneys stopped searching the immediate area where the document was found.
Because I have a security clearance, I went to Wilmington Thursday evening to facilitate providing the document the President’s personal counsel found on Wednesday to the Justice Department. While I was transferring it to the DOJ officials who accompanied me, five additional pages with classification markings were discovered among the material with it, for a total of six pages. The DOJ officials with me immediately took possession of them.
The President’s lawyers have acted immediately and voluntarily to provide the Penn Biden documents to the Archives and the Wilmington documents to DOJ. We have now publicly released specific details about the documents identified, how they were identified, and where they were found. The appointment of the Special Counsel in this matter this week means we will now refer specific questions to the Special Counsel’s office moving forward. As I said Thursday, the White House will cooperate with the newly-appointed Special Counsel.
This is batch three. Biden won’t be able to use the “Car-a-Lago” defense — as some on social media have described his using the corvette as a measure of security for the documents found sitting around in his garage — because these were in his house.
I get the feeling this won’t be the last set of classified documents that Biden left laying around unsecured for easy access to his drugged up China-affiliated son to take pics of.
We would probably have those pics, too, if the FBI and DOJ were doing their job instead of acting as personal Twitter monitors for Democrats. Guess we’ll see if the special counsel is worth a dang.
