That is true. The non-politician government employee who goofs this bad is
probably facing a large fine and jail time. Politicians, not so much.

If they didn't know the documents were classified, then someone goofed.
That would indicate that Joe took them home, lost track of them, and then
they later got boxed up with other "personal documents." I work for the
government, that is a no-no.
For example, storing data that contain Federal Tax Information with data
that does not makes all of the data FTI.
As for why it is dumb... garages are usually easier to obtain access to
than the rest of the house, which puts even personal,
non-government-senstive documents at risk. I would only store something in
a garage if I knew what it was, and knew it didn't contain anything that
could lead to my identity being stolen.

Since we are talking about classified, *government* documents, Joe (or his
team) should not have been tasking the filing/storage of classified,
*government* documents to someone who was not aware and/or was not properly
trained in how to handle them.
Irresponsible Joe probably told someone to "put these boxes in the garage."

DS> found was secure. IMO, Trump did not care.
I keep my most important documents in the attic, far away from the street.
Some of the crap I keep in the garage include: a broken drain pipe extension,
a snow shovel, and some returnable bottles and cans (maybe $40 worth.

I don't keep my drivers license, my kids passports, or my US military secrets
in the garage. I feel like they deserve better protection than that.
Trump cared enough to contest the raid, but Biden's attitude seems to be "I
already made a fortune off the American people, and I'm on a downward spiral
anyway, so go ahead."

Now that we've compared all the background details to these stories, I hope
that we can soon start discussing the motives of the document hoarding.
Who had what to gain by hoarding documents? Did any foreign entity benefit
from the info contained in Biden's hoard, or from Trump's hoard?
Alternatively, did the American people have anything to gain by either
gentleman hoarding documents? (Hopefully these questions get answered or at
least asked in the near future!

Some of the media has been kind enough to cover the Biden document scandal, in

They've got until November of next year to repair Joe's image, and I'm
confident that they can do it. "Trump associate planted the documents in Joe's
garage," and "Trump caused the border crisis" might do the trick.

That is true. None of us really know yet exactly how the classified
documents were brought to Biden, nor why, and even whether or not Biden
ever saw them. We need to wait for the special counsel to determine
those things.

I don't see any thing that implies that Biden himself took the
classified documents to his house.

As did I -- and you are correct in that there was some sort of mistake.
What we do not know is why, how, or with what sort of intention.

I do not believe that. I have FTI documents in my closet along with
documents relating to my time in government service and personal family
matters.

Only irresponsible for him to say that *IF* he knew they contained
restricted materials.

Probably not. They are using this to bolster their flagging ratings.
But you never know. "Get Woke, Go Broke" is still true and many of these

will be able to recover their credibility.

Probably. Never mind any facts. But the people who listen to the Propaganda
Ministry...er.. Mainstream Media can't handle facts anyway.
Overall, I doubt that they can repair Sleepy Joe's image to the majority of
the population. If only because we stopped listening to the Media.

Joe hasn't been able to think for himself for a long time now.
Most likely he took the documents home and someone else, not knowing what
they were, put them in the garage. Probably it was Hunter so it would be easy
to give them to the Chinese spies when they visited.
... You will be the victim of a bizarre joke.

Joe has been a real team-player for the rest of the leftist community. If
they're going to throw him under the bus now, after he put trillions of
dollars into their pockets, then it's got to be because someone higher up in
the regime has decided that Joe's ship is officially sinking.
Forget investing in Joe, now they've got to invest in a Republican patsy.

Except it is true. Part of what makes data/documents FTI is that they came
from the IRS. If they are your own federal tax returns or other
information not supplied by the IRS then they are more likely PII -
personal identifying information. So long as it is your information, you
can put that anywhere you want (although I wouldn't). If you are entrusted
to be handling someone else's PII, there are likely restrictions placed by
whatever entity entrusted you to do so.
Outside of documents you or family members may have received from the IRS
in regards to yourselves, I somehow doubt you have actual IRS-supplied FTI in
your personal home.
Mixing FTI data with any other data makes all of the data FTI when it comes
to protection requirements.

I somehow doubt that someone on the team didn't know.
After all, this is the man who questioned how someone could do something so
irresponsible, and how could someone even make such a mistake. He set the
bar pretty high for others, for sure.
