On Friday, President Biden voluntarily consented to a FBI search of his home and, lo and behold, they found more classified documents - some dating back to his days in the Senate.
Mind you, Biden was first elected to the Senate back in 1972. Just how old are these classified documents?
At this point, the FBI has not indicated if any of the documents are top secret. But the drip-drip nature of this story continues to give it legs and with it increase the potential for doubt among Democrats. Then there is always the question of whether there will be more classified documents found on Biden's property.
Just yesterday, I noted that South Carolina Congressman Jim Clyburn's declaration that he was all in for Biden meant Biden was all in - unless more classified documents were found.
Now that more classified docs have been found it will be interesting to see if Clyburn pulls back his endorsement of Biden. If he does, then Biden is in trouble and Democrats will start sharpening their knives.
The only saving grace in Biden's favor is Republican hypocrisy. The public is going to have a hard time taking Republican sanctimony over classified documents at Biden's home seriously when they have no qualms about documents being wallpapered at defeated, former President Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence.
Still, this is a mess of Biden's own making. He is trying to clean things up only for another mess to be found.
