Today’s White House briefing opened up with John Kirby fielding some questions. One question was related to the classified documents President Biden had in his garage and in a couple of other locations. To Kirby’s credit, he didn’t automatically refer the questioner to White House counsel and actually provided an answer, unlike Karine Jean-Pierre.

We’re just guessing that if a lower-level government employee “self-reported” that he had classified documents in his garage for several years that wouldn’t be considered a satisfactory ending to the story.
He didn't self report. He had them for at least 6 years!

Years later???

6 to 14 years later? Really?

So the message being sent is that it’s ok to have classified documents in your possession if you “self-report” even if it’s many years later? Interesting.
