There should be no mystery about the “sudden” appearance of classified documents at various locations owned by or linked to Joe Biden.
Joe gave the documents to Hunter, for Hunter’s use in the family’s influence-peddling operation. Some of them were held, illegally, at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and International Engagement (i.e., take money from China in return for secrets and influence). They were being held in reserve for use by the family business or had already been used for that purpose.
Another batch, having been “loaned” to Hunter for use in the business, were left behind by him when he vacated his father’s home, which he was renting for almost $50,000 a month. That, of course, was a rather transparent way of funneling business proceeds to Joe.
Why did Joe’s personal lawyers find the documents? They must have been looking for incriminating evidence about the family business, at Joe’s behest or at the behest of someone who still has her marbles. Discretion being the better part of valor, the classified documents were turned over to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).
What wasn’t turned over to NARA? The truly incriminating evidence that Joe or his puppeteers have probably by now destroyed — notes and records of meetings, transactions, and payments that inculpate Joe.
With that out of the way (possibly), Joe may weather the storm. After all, he has most of the media, the Department of Justice, the FBI, a Democrat-controlled Senate, and scores of unrepentant NeverTrumpers on his side.
