Kayleigh McEnany: Joe Biden is beholden to progressives, leaving moderates behind
'Outnumbered' co-host and former Trump press secretary Kayleigh McEnany tells 'Life, Liberty & Levin' the president is politically trapped.
President Biden's aides are reportedly concerned about the Special Counsel's report on the president's handling of classified documents revealing "embarrassing details."
Axios reported on Sunday that Biden's aides do not expect to be criminally charged in the documents case against Biden, but they are worried Special Counsel Robert Hur's investigation might reveal "embarrassing details," including photos, of how the documents were stored.
Classified documents from Biden's time as vice president were discovered in the Penn Biden Center in November 2022. CBS News was the first report on the discovered documents in January 2023. Days later, the White House revealed more classified documents were discovered in Biden's Delaware home.
"The documents were not the subject of any previous request or inquiry by the Archives," Richard Sauber, special counsel to the White House, said in a statement at the time. "Since that discovery, the President's personal attorneys have cooperated with the Archives and the Department of Justice in process to ensure that any Obama-Biden Administration records are appropriately in the possession of the Archives."

LIBERAL MEDIA ROASTED FOR EXCUSING BIDEN DOCUMENT SCANDAL: 'WHEN WILL THE FBI RAID HIS HOME?'
The aides reportedly believe Hur's report could come as soon as this week and even if there are no criminal charges, the report says, "Biden aides expect the report's details to be politically damaging."
Biden defended the discovery of the documents in January 2023.
"I'm going to get the chance to speak on all of this, God willing it'll be soon, but I said earlier this week — and by the way my Corvette is in a locked garage. It's not like it's sitting out in the street," he said.
"Any photos of those storage practices could cause a political storm similar to what happened after the release of photos of Trump storing documents at Mar-a-Lago, including in a bathroom," Axios' report continued.

GOP SLAMS 'WEAPONIZATION' OF DOJ AFTER TRUMP'S MAR-A-LAGO RAIDED BY FBI; DEMS CALL IT 'ACCOUNTABILITY'
FBI agents seized classified records from former President Trump's home at Mar-a-Lago during the agency's unprecedented raid in August 2022.
The former president was indicted on 37 federal counts, including willful retention of national defense information, conspiracy to obstruct justice and false statements, in the classified documents investigation.
"The classified documents TRUMP stored in his boxes included information regarding defense and weapons capabilities of both the United States and foreign countries; United States nuclear programs; potential vulnerabilities of the United States and its allies to military attack; and plans for possible retaliation in response to a foreign attack," the indictment states.

"The unauthorized disclosure of these classified documents could put at risk the national security of the United States, foreign relations, the safety of the United States military, and human sources and the continued viability of sensitive intelligence collection methods," the indictment continued.

Ahhhhhs the plot thickens LOL
How ?
This is OLD News.
Pence and Biden cooperated, while Trump LIED, HID, and MOVED AROUND Documents that were NEVER his to begin with. Stored them out in the open on a stage, in a bathroom, in a closet, all while they had been requested returned MULTIPLE TIMES! WTF People, what is new News here ?
No, this is NEW news as the Biden campaign is worried about how the upcoming report and testimony might reveal embarrassing details including photos and of how the documents were stored.
But hey, you got to deflect to Trump so kudos for you.
Did you miss the part of the article that says: Published February 4, 2024 2:45pm EST
The lease you could do is be honest with the rest of your comment.
Yea, and Hunter Biden will be indicted right afterwards im sure. Do you realize how many times the “right” claims Towering Inferno when they see a puff of smoke ? How many times have they claimed they’ve got the dirt on Hunter and Joe collaborating. ?
And No, it’s not compatible or comparable to Trumps Russia collusion, as many indictments were handed out and Trump threw out immunity and should have and would have been charged if not for the standing line of not charging a sitting POTUS, and the turn your head of GOP Senators during not one , but two impeachment hearings, where as if he were a Dem, he’d be done
Brandon had documents from when he was a Senator- which have been moved around several times; improperly stored; and have no chain custody.
Some will excuse anything Brandon does; or what anyone with a D behind their name does.
Talk to the human POS Weiss and Garland about Hunter's indictments. Weiss already let the most serious of the charges Statue of Limitations run out. He has gone back into hiding after the judge rejected his sweet heart plea deal for Hunter; and Garland name him special prosecutor in violation of the law.
As for your faux Hillary Clinton campaign paid for Russia collusion investigation- are you still looking for the pee tapes? Not even the most liberal of media outlets brings that up any more. As for the two impeachments where Democrats locked Republicans in the House out of the first one for questioning any witnesses; and didn't even bother with evidence or an investigation for the second- where the hell were you when Democrats in the Senate ignored the mountain of evidence presented against Bill Clinton and decided to gather outside the White House in support of him?
And Hunter is not the topic here. Please try to keep up.
Isn't that the hoax that was run claiming Russia helped him win but the investigations found nothing of the sort? Doesn't matter. Not the topic here.

So in Traitor Joe's damaged mind this was ok. And the Bidenista's are good with it as well.
