Biden seemingly ignored or forgot about a cardinal rule in politics: Check your closet for skeletons before you complain about someone else's.
WASHINGTON — Joe Biden offered himself to Americans as a president they wouldn't have to think about after the tumult of his predecessor. But an excruciating week of awkward disclosures and the appointment of a special counsel to investigate classified records found at his Delaware home and a former office dating to his time as vice president is beginning to strain his claim to competence.
"It just won't be so exhausting," former President Barack Obama had promised about a Biden presidency in the closing days of the 2020 campaign, adding that voters are"not going to have to think about the crazy things … and that is worth a lot." Biden allies say the packing up of his vice presidential office happened swiftly. Biden aimed to run through the tape on his eight years alongside Obama even as aides worked to close down his office before Trump's inauguration at noon on Jan. 20, 2017.
"To say nothing of classified documents which have these distinctive markings on them," Painter said."It's still very worrisome. It's a serious national security breach." Not until Thursday did Biden lawyers acknowledge the Dec. 20 discovery of documents in the garage of Biden's house in Wilmington, Delaware, and inform the Justice Department that another classified record had been found the night before in Biden's home library.
