During his remarks today, Biden reminded Peter Doocy that it wasn’t as if the documents were out next to the street, because they were safely locked in the garage with his Corvette:

DOOCY: "Classified materials, next to your Corvette? What were you thinking?"

BIDEN: "My Corvette's in a locked garage, okay? So it's not like they're sitting out on the street." pic.twitter.com/w3D7THLxah

All this has George Washington University law professor looking for “the Corvette standard” in classified document protocols:

The President just said that the documents found in his garage are in a "locked garage" like his corvette. The corvette standard is actually not in classified protocols…

…The White House Counsel could now cite the long-standing slogan for corvette: “Like a car, only better” https://t.co/rKusQunAbd

The corvette statement was remarkably ill-considered. It was a cringe-worthy moment. After being given a carefully worded statement by his lawyers and staff, the President ad-libbed and suggested that his locked garage was a secure space for classified material.
