How does Biden explain the roughly dozen documents in a closet at a private office in his house in Wilmington, Delaware ?
The days after the search he did not say anything at all. It is easy to understand why.
According to reports, the clearly marked classified documents include those at the highly classified “Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information” (TS/SCI) level. The documents reportedly include material related to Iran, Ukraine and the UK.
For two days, Biden has refused to answer questions from reporters as his allies in the media struggle for a spin out of this scandal.
In the meantime Joe Biden has put himself in an impossible position by saying out loud that he has no regrets over hiding secrets documents.
According to the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, there are three levels of classified information:
(a) Top Secret. The authority to classify information originally as Top Secret may be exercised only by: (1) the President; (2) agency heads and officials designated by the President in the Federal Register; and (3) officials delegated this authority pursuant to Section 1.2(d).
(b) Secret. The authority to classify information originally as Secret may be exercised only by: (1) agency heads and officials designated by the President in the Federal Register; (2) officials with original Top Secret classification authority; and (3) officials delegated such authority pursuant to Section 1.2(d).
(c) Confidential. The authority to classify information originally as Confidential may be exercised only by: (1) agency heads and officials designated by the President in the Federal Register; (2) officials with original Top Secret or Secret classification authority; and (3) officials delegated such authority pursuant to Section 1.2(d).
The investigations will seek to uncover the extent of wrongdoing and by whom. Former Department of Justice prosecutor Andrew McCarthy argued Thursday that Biden has already admitted guilt. At least of the classified documents discovered related to the Biden family business ventures in Ukraine.
In 2017, Hunter Biden was paid $83,000 per month to be on the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company. Hunter was appointed to the board of Burisma in 2014 with no previous experience in the energy sector or in Ukraine.
In 2015, Joe Biden ( back then Vice-President ) threatened to withhold $1 billion from Ukraine if the Ukrainian government did not fire the prosecutor who was investigating Burisma.
Joe Biden visited Ukraine for the last time in 2017 to deliver a farewell address. It was his sixth visit in seven years. After Joe Biden left the White House, Hunter’s salary was cut in half. According to Breitbart News’s senior contributor Peter Schweizer, Hunter made massive sums sums of money from Ukraine for which he “offered no real work.”
