#1 Like Covid the origins of this scandal may never be cleared up. Who was the initial whistle blower and what were his or her motivations? If they were MAGA, Republican or patriotic this would have spilled externally before the election. Instead there was an internal period of incompetent cleanup that failed and implicated more and more of the administration like a behemoth floundering in a tar pit.

#2 I still do not believe anything will come of this. The search has already been corrupted; are we going to believe any of the details of the files found? The classified files will all detail Biden’s absolute innocence of all scandals.

#3 Having seen Grampy Badfinger for so long, perhaps he meant 'seriously takes' classified material vs 'takes seriously'. Makes as much sense as anything else and is more than enough pretense to make it all go away.

#4 Explode? Don't hold your breath. The worst he gets is a slap on the wrist and a stern look.

#5 The plot arc is pretty obvious:
- more docs found
- MSM jumps on Biden
- Biden resigns
- President Kackling Kamala pardons Biden and family for all crimes past and future
- American experiment comes to an end

#6 Pardons are not like a can of spray paint that covers everything. Only specific crimes of which a person has been convicted can be pardoned.

So, the "pardon" scenario assumes Joe, Hunter et al are tried and convicted of specific crimes.

Anyone see that happening? Bueller? Anyone?

#7 Ford pardons Nixon

#8 /\ Nixon was quoted as saying "I know who shot John." Gerald Ford sat on the Warren Commission.

Take from that what you will.

#9 Do you regret it now, Joe? How Biden has repeatedly tried to downplay classified document scandal engulfing his presidency only to be thwarted at every turn by revelations MORE files have been discovered

#10 No shame = no regrets = Democrat

#11 Long time Dem political operative Ron Klain (Biden's Chief of Staff) is jumping the sinking ship and moving on. Sign of things to come? Who or what might follow?

#12 Klain is positioning himself to have some sort of professional political stooge future. Many people's political hanger-on resumes are going to end at "served in the Bidet misministration."

#13 Ron Klain (Biden's Chief of Staff) is jumping the sinking ship

Or "I have acquired enough favors and power to do my own thing and I don't get paid enough for this shit."

#14 Any openings at CNN for MSNBC for Klain?

#15 Klain will get blamed for the coverup even though it was likely coordinated from a cross town basement. Biden is not going to jail.
This foul up has taken the wind out of the Mar-A-Lago scam and will put Biden in a bad negotiating position with respect to the Congressional investigations and Debt Ceiling fight. I don’t think he will likely escalate the Ukraine mess as popularity for that fight is waning among the American electorate. I think he will eventually exit once his master explains reality to Jill. There will be a waiting period of possibly a year while they get Hunter charged and pardoned in a way that makes future attempts to hold the prodigal accountable for issues missed in the pardon not worthwhile. Joe will need to let the investigations on these issues progress to the Nixon pre-impeachment stage so that Kamala can pardon him. They will also need to have a pre approved VP stooge ready that can clear the House blockade. It will not be any of the lightening rods. Gerald Ford was a lib GOP bozo that nobody had strong objection to.

#16 Ref #6

"On this day in 1977, President Jimmy Carter, in his first full day in office, fulfilled a campaign promise by granting unconditional pardons to hundreds of thousands of men who had evaded the draft during the Vietnam War by fleeing the country or by failing to register with their Selective Service boards."

#17  Senate records are being stonewalled as too. What's stashed away at the University of Delaware that they want hidden?
