Joe Biden and his White House Press Secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, keep insisting that he takes the handling of classified documents “seriously.”
Biden has already shown that isn’t true, since he kept classified documents for years and had them spread out over three different locations. Then he claimed he was “surprised” when they were found in his office at the Penn Biden Center. That’s not a defense, Joe, that just makes things worse if you’re trying to claim you didn’t even know that they were there — which means you could have classified documents anywhere. They’ve also been keeping a lot of this information from the American people as the finds have continued to unspool. We reported Friday night on some of the people who were reportedly involved in that decision.
One of the things that has been most concerning about Biden’s scandal is how many other people Biden might have exposed the documents to with his irresponsibility. Among the people who appear to have had access to the classified documents next to the Corvette in his garage was his son, Hunter Biden, who was having issues with drugs while he was living at the house, not to mention he had a lot of involvement with people connected to foreign governments. We reported how there are pictures of Hunter in Joe’s Corvette with his 12-year-old niece Natalie and another young girl.

Now there are more pictures from Hunter’s laptop and they’re a window into how Joe Biden took care of important documents. Hunter took pictures of the birthday party preparations for his namesake nephew at Joe’s house in Wilmington on March 11, 2017. Perched on a table among the photos was a picture showing a battered, taped-up, document box with the words “Important Doc’s + Photos” on the lid and on the side. The lid was partially off the box.
“A box labeled “Important Doc’s + Photos” was left unsealed on a table ahead of a child’s birthday party in the Delaware home where the 80-year-old president has been discovered to have stashed sensitive government records, a photo from his son’s laptop.” https://t.co/SZcBQ8YbCb

In addition to the fact that someone (Joe?) doesn’t have any idea of the proper use of apostrophes, this is how Joe Biden stores “important documents,” minimally taped up and open to whoever may have been around, including his drug-addled son or anyone else who may have trekked through the house at the time. We don’t know that this box had classified documents in it, but it says a lot about how “seriously” Joe takes important documents. And if this did have the classified documents in it, yikes, who knows who might have seen them?
This was also at a time when Hunter was having an affair with his sister-in-law, Hallie Biden, and around the time when he was trying to work out deals with the Chinese government-connected energy conglomerate, CEFC. A screenshot of “Frequent Locations” on April 6, 2017, also showed that his iPhone recorded him visiting the house 162 times since February 14.
Joe Biden’s response to all this on Friday? He snapped at a reporter. His attitude was: Why are you asking me stupid questions about the documents?
A reporter asks Biden a question about the classified docs: "What quite frankly bugs me is we have a serious problem here and the American people don't quite understand why you don't ask me questions about that" before adding he has "no regrets" about how he handled the docs. pic.twitter.com/rkV8eOiaPq

The arrogance here is just astonishing, especially when you contrast it against how he takes care of documents and had classified documents “surprising” him everywhere. Not to mention that he cares about what the American people are concerned about — they are demanding to know about the documents. He had no problem spewing about President Donald Trump and an ongoing investigation. He just doesn’t think anyone should be asking about his classified document scandal.
