Rep James Comer says that the National Archives is hiding the documents Biden stole while he was vice president. Many people are trying to say that President Trump’s possession of documents is worse than Biden’s. That is a bald-faced lie. As president, Trump had the power to declassify any document he wants to, but the vice president does not have that right, meaning that Biden’s documents were stolen. I would love to know how many of those files were made available to China.
Joe Biden did not need to share these documents with the Chinese because Hunter had the keys to the house, including the garage area where the documents were at the time. But, it could have been Joe, because I believe he is compromised and that is why he keeps putting China’s interests above ours. One document was about Ukraine and if China read that document, they could pass that information over to Russia. Likewise, the file on Iran would pass on to Iran as China and Iran work together often,
Comer said:
“This agency is supposed to do a briefing any time something like this happens. They have not. Not only have they not given us a briefing, even though we’ve requested one, they haven’t answered any of our simple requests for information. This is very concerning. We are going to deal with the National Archives as this mess progresses. But right now, we have a lot of concerns who had access to these documents.”
“I mean, no one believes that lawyers are in charge of the moving team.”
“Joe Biden promised the American people he would have the most transparent administration in history. I could make a strong argument that this is the least transparent administration in history. The only reason we know about those documents today is because of investigative reporting by CBS. Someone leaked to CBS that Joe Biden had these classified documents or we would never know about it, and there would never be a special counsel. So this is very concerning.”
The Biden Admin and DOJ 𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐰 classified docs were stashed in a closet at the Penn Biden Center before the 2022 election. They also found docs in Biden's garage in December.

Partial transcript:
NEIL CAVUTO: Let’s get the read on what he might want to investigate. The aforementioned James Comer, the House Oversight Committee Chairman. Mr. Chairman, always good to have you. Thanks for coming back.
JAMES COMER (R-KY): Thanks for having me.
NEIL CAVUTO: What do we know? What do you know about these documents? Or just exactly how classified some of them are? We’re told that a bunch that were found in the president’s garage in Wilmington had top classification, you know, markings. But you know more than I, maybe. What have you learned?
JAMES COMER (R-KY): Well, unfortunately, I do not know more than you. And that’s very concerning because I have jurisdiction over the National Archives. This agency is supposed to do a briefing any time something like this happens. They have not. Not only have they not given us a briefing, even though we’ve requested one, they haven’t answered any of our simple requests for information. This is very concerning. We are going to deal with the National Archives as this mess progresses. But right now, we have a lot of concerns who had access to these documents. It’s hard for us to believe, as Joe Biden said, that his team of lawyers were moving boxes around and they discovered it. I mean, no one believes that lawyers are in charge of the moving team. And I wonder, did all the documents end up at the same place initially, like, let’s say, the Biden Center and then someone at the Biden center took some boxes to the house and were looking through the information at the house. I mean, there are a lot of questions here. Unfortunately, we don’t have any answers.
NEIL CAVUTO: We do know a little bit about the timeline about how this all became known. As you know, by now, Chairman, Merrick Garland was aware of this back in November. That was before the midterm election. We don’t know how much of that was relayed to the president, but we knew that he knew back then. So I’m just wondering what could explain, or are you concerned about the delay in making that known and getting a special counsel appointed much sooner?
JAMES COMER (R-KY): We’re very concerned. I mean, Joe Biden promised the American people he would have the most transparent administration in history. I could make a strong argument that this is the least transparent administration in history. The only reason we know about those documents today is because of investigative reporting by CBS. Someone leaked to CBS that Joe Biden had these classified documents or we would never know about it and there would never be a special counsel. So this is very concerning. This is another example of a two tier system of justice in America. This is another example of how the current president has been treated versus the former president. And this is why we’ve created a task force to examine the weaponization of the Department of Justice.
NEIL CAVUTO: You know, Congressman, I am curious as well about Joe Biden and his comments on this to the degree that he didn’t know about it. Now, that might be the case, might not be the case, but if it is the case, isn’t that even more problematic? Isn’t that even more worrisome? The classified documents were in his possession and he didn’t know it.
JAMES COMER (R-KY): Exactly, Neil. You know, that is the argument for defense that a lot of Democrats in Congress say, well, he didn’t even know about it. Well, that makes it even worse, because here’s what we know. And this is — I can tell you this from the investigation into the Biden family influence peddling — this family has a history of receiving lots of anonymous donations from China, whether it be to the Biden Center for Diplomacy, whether it be to Hunter’s shady business dealings, whether it be for Hunter’s artwork. I mean, there is a pattern here, and this is very concerning. And you may ask, why would China invest so much money in the Bidens? Just look, recently what was discovered with respect to the University of Penn successfully lobbying the FBI to drop the China initiative, which was an investigation into China’s influence in our university system, stealing our research and development technology. They had the FBI drop this in the Biden administration because they said it was racist. So that alone would be a pretty darn good investment for China. We have to investigate the Biden family for being a national security risk, and the fact that they had classified documents stored improperly, that’s another reason why.
