Biden's Legal Team Discloses a Second Set of Classified Documents at an Undisclosed Location

Oh, boy!!! Scarcely 48 hours after President Biden's legal team disclosed the discovery of classified documents at an office used between leaving office as Vice-President and launching his own presidential campaign, another set of classified documents has been discovered at a second location.

At this point, we don't know how many documents there were, what level of classification and where this second location is. The latter might be the most critical point of all should it come to light that classified documents were discovered at his personal residence in Delaware. 

Then there is also the question of whether there is more to come. If there is then not only will Republicans be salivating for impeachment, but as I suggested yesterday Democrats are bound to call upon Biden to not run for a second term or perhaps even resign and let Kamala Harris be sworn in as President. 

If there had been no other discovery of classified documents in Biden's possession, then perhaps the spotlight would have turned to Republicans hammering Biden tooth and nail while looking the other way at defeated, former President Trump's malfeasance where it concerns the possession of classified documents and his lack of co-operation in returning them to the NARA. 

But now, as the old saying goes, where there is smoke there is fire. And if there are classified documents, especially of a top-secret nature in Biden's personal residence then I suspect a lot of independent voters won't view Biden much differently than they do Trump.

Then there is the question of whether Attorney General Merrick Garland will bring charges against Trump. Whatever Biden's transgressions are concerning the handling of classified material they ought not to have any bearing on whether Trump is charged. However, the cold reality is that it is impossible to separate politics from the law. Charging Trump will open Garland to questions as to whether he is charging Trump to deflect from scrutiny into Biden. It is also possible that the ever cautious Garland might decide not to prosecute Trump in order not to be seen as impartial although this certainly won't matter with Republicans. 

While there are facts which remain unknown, at the risk of being melodramatic, this is very likely the beginning of the end of the Biden presidency.
