From FOX News:
DOJ seizes more classified docs from Biden's Wilmington home after 12-hour FBI search
The Justice Department seized additional classified records from President Biden’s Wilmington, Delaware home after an FBI search on Friday, Fox News has learned.
"On Jan. 20, 2023, the FBI executed a planned, consensual search of the President's residence in Wilmington, Delaware," Joseph D. Fitzpatrick, an assistant U.S. attorney to U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Illinois John Lausch, told Fox News Saturday.
Lausch was the DOJ official running the investigation into Biden's improper retention of classified records ahead of the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Hur. Fox News has learned Lausch is still playing an integral role in the probe as Hur gets up to speed.
The FBI search began Friday morning at 9:45 a.m. and concluded Friday night around 10:30 p.m.
That is a long time to be looking for a team of people. This is a single home and garage. Even with breaks, that is more than 10 hours of work. A bit more:
"DOJ took possession of materials it deemed within the scope of its inquiry, including six items consisting of documents with classification markings and surrounding materials, some of which were from the President’s service in the Senate and some of which were from his tenure as Vice President," Bauer said. "DOJ also took for further review personally handwritten notes from the vice-presidential years."
Six items - this could be six cartons, six documents - they are not clear on this.
They knew about these well before the last mid-term elections - they are bringing this up now to move Joe out of the White House and move Gavin Newsom (Nancy's nephew) in at some point. It's his turn after all. Or Michelle O.
UPDATE - his consigliere is resigning. New York Times:
Ron Klain Expected to Step Down as Biden’s White House Chief of Staff
Ron Klain, the White House chief of staff who has steered President Biden’s administration through two years of triumphs and setbacks, is expected to step down in coming weeks in the most significant changing of the guard since Mr. Biden took office two years ago.
Mr. Klain has been telling colleagues privately since the November midterm elections that after a grueling, nonstop stretch at Mr. Biden’s side going back to the 2020 campaign, he is ready to move on, according to senior administration officials, and a search for a replacement has been underway.
In other words - I did my job. I was his King-maker and I got him into the office. Now? It's your responsibility - I am outta here before things get really bad. Don't want to be tainted with what is going to be coming out.
