Transparency. How long before they just come out and say, "PFuck you, we don't want to answer that". When was the last time Joe Biden answered a reporter's question?

It is ridiculous to assert that the moment an attorney found an 'illegal' document, they stopped what they were doing and reported themselves. It is vastly more realistic to think that they stopped what they were doing and began looking for other classified documents before/while alerting authorities. Attorney's don't like to ask questions they don't already know the answer to... and it would border on malpractice for them to allow a search of documents, not knowing what else was there and what they might need to 'explain'. I mean, if they stopped digging and reported themselves... and when investigators came in they discovered nuclear launch codes... Biden would be cricified. No attorney would let their client be crucified.

But that isn't the crime. The crime is the retention of classified documents... and this is fairly set in stone to be a violation... AND the failure to secure them... since it seems literally nobody looked at them for 5 years.

Besides... does anyone really believe that $200/hr 'big firm' associates (much less $500+/hr attorneys) were the ones digging through documents?? At best it was a $50/hr legal assistant.... but again, why was an attorney looking through old stored documents??

The whole thing is a lie
