Boater: Wow my head is just spinning ere. And as a Senator?

Dope1: In other words, they had him dead to rights because as a Senator and as a VP he was never a declassifying authority and therefore had no right to any of it.

bighairyguy: As a senator he didn't enjoy the privilege of removing documents from a SCIF.

Which gets back to the unanswered question of how does a mere senator come to possess SCIF documents?

Had any of the three of you actually bothered to read the Hur report, you would have seen in Appendix A that there were no SCIF documents discovered from Biden's time as a senator. All of the documents dated from his senate days had their classification upgraded now, in 2023-2024, "with current classification guidelines". They were not considered classified in the 1970s or in 1980; so they did not need to be handled or viewed in a SCIF.

And BTW, president Obama issued an EO to give the vice president classification and declassification authority (specific details here: https://obamawhitehouse.archiv...)
