Maybe we should interview Mike Pence and ask to see his logs regarding who has and hasn’t come to his house since moving back to a physically safe spot. (Remember, he actually went into hiding after the turnover in administrations?). Maybe we can get a baseline as to what is “normal” and what isn’t. Pence seems like a normal guy… depending on who we choose to compare.
Donald Trump sees a conspiracy. Joe Biden has no logs from his home in Deleware! Trump is in a rage.
The White House just announced that there are no LOGS or information of any kind on visitors to the Wilmington house and flimsy, unlocked, and unsecured, but now very famous, garage. Maybe they are smarter than we think! This is one of seemingly many places where HIGHLY CLASSIFIED documents are stored (in a big pile on the damp floor). Mar-a-Lago is a highly secured facility, with Security Cameras all over the place, and watched over by staff & our great Secret Service. I have INFO on everyone!
Hey, hey, settle down. So far, there are no official disclosures as to the level of classification of the files. There are three different levels of classifications, Confidential, Secret, and Top Secret. OH, and if you have logs on everyone, given you are still an ex-president (Who calls himself “president”) with Secret Service protection, please to be handing the logs over right now, to the public. Or please to be fcking off.
Oh, he’s just mad that the prosecutor is being a prosecutor!
The FBI (Fake Bureau of Investigation) & the Department of Injustice, together with the Trump Hating Thug, Jack Smith, are interviewing, harassing, and subpoenaing people that work for me relative to the BOXES HOAX, & the “Peacefully & Patriotically” speech I made at the January 6th protest of the Rigged and Stollen Presidential Election, where so many have been treated horribly and Unconstitutionally. This is a Gestapo type operation! Are they doing this to the Biden people? I don’t think so!
Have you ever noticed that Trump has never done anything wrong and that anyone who is inconveniencing him is one of the world’s worst people?
Yes, moving on.
We know that out of the one hundred classified files at Mar-a-Lago, many were Top Secret-SCI, and one involved nuclear weapons. We also know that he had files pertaining to Iranian missiles (which could, in theory, be nuclear now) and Chinese defense doctrine, which could also be the one pertaining to nuclear matters. But neither of them were keepsakes, and neither was handed over (nor any of the hundred) when subpoenaed.
The National Archives demanded the materials back before Trump acknowledged having them (the reverse of Biden) and Trump gave over fifteen boxes with one-hundred classified documents in January of 2022. By March of 2022, Trump’s lawyers signed off on “to the best of my knowledge, all files have been returned.”
The National Archives didn’t believe them, handed the matter over to DOJ in March, and by August, the FBI was forced to search Mar-a-Lago and found another one-hundred classified documents, including the TOP-SECRET SCI material.
Biden’s issue is a big problem. But it has nothing to do with the fact that there are no “visitor logs” going back to 2017. Secret Service protection ends six months after a Vice President is out of office. It is a political problem.
Trump bragged about all the security at Mar-a-Lago but near as we can tell, many were found in a shed by the pool used by guests at Mar-a-Lago where hundreds come and go on a daily basis. Additionally, Biden – without anyone telling him to do so, searched all his properties, whereas Trump has not had Trump Tower nor Bedminster searched, never mind the hole in the ground near the first tee.
Regardless that is not the issue.
The issue is that this is a huge political problem for Biden and a problem for prosecutor Jack Smith who now sees that perhaps he has to acknowledge that the quick transfers of materials during administrations is a more global problem and that if he charges Trump, he should only charge Trump with obstruction of justice and espionage (If Trump showed the documents to anyone). Everything else is different. Biden self-reported.
The GOP is going insane because the original cache was found on November 2nd by Biden’s attorneys, and they were not reported until well after the election. Well, okay, except Trump knew of subpoenas and continued to hold his for over a year and never did announce anything until the FBI search. They really don’t compare.
It won’t matter. Trump is going to talk about wiggly locks (As if the Bidens didn’t have a state-of-the-art security system as a former senator and VP then-presidential candidate from 2018 to 2020.)
As for the people who believe that the files were planted… I’m afraid that we’ll never get an answer to that question. The only people who could have done so would have been FBI agents acting alongside the Secret Service, and neither of those organizations is going to do so in a way they will get caught. I also suspect it’s best to set that theory behind us without regard to the possibility.
It is now a political problem. Half the country won’t believe they were planted if Trump was on video placing them himself. So it’s best to consider the more likely explanation that the files were removed haphazardly, and the very few that were removed will not be criminally charged but will give the House an opportunity to hang Trump in their zeal to make Biden the bad guy.

[email protected], @JasonMiciak, SUBSTACK: THE BIDEN FILES ARE A PROBLEM BUT THERE IS AN EASY SOLUTION
Are we going to see the visitors logs for Mar a Lago?
Doubt it. But I did ask above. I was a little vague, so I made it crystal clear that “we” want the visitor logs, since Trump seems to think he’s entitled to “Visitor logs” to a private ex-vice president’s home.
I seriously doubt that announcing the docs in Biden’s possession back then would have changed the mid term elections. It’s too bad someone on his team didn’t announce it. That lag time makes it all look suspicious when it’s not.
I wonder if any of the classified docs found in Biden’s possession came from the empty folders at Mar-A-Lardo? People want to know!
