Several MAGAs Have Been Asking, So I'll Provide Some Answers

1. Biden and Dems are hypocrites, because Biden had confidential docs, so he must be lying about not knowing he had them.

A1: Mike Pence, made multiple statements, confirming that he has no confidential documents. Today, it was announced that a bunch of confidential documents were found at Pence's home, in Carmel, Indiana, inside 4 boxes. Was Mike Pence lying, or does shit happen?

2. Why were Biden's attorneys and not the FBI, looking through the Biden documents, from his previous time in office, and stored at private residences/office, and not the DOJ? He's a hypocrite, and must be hiding something, but that's how liberals roll.

A2: Because this is what some ex or current officials do. They hire officers of the court, for various due diligence purposes, to make sure the process is untarnished. Why, just today, Mike Pence announced, that his attorneys conducted a search of four boxes of documents, stored at his home, and found confidential documents.

3. Biden is such a hypocrite. His attorneys found confidential documents at his private office, on Nov 2nd, but that was not made public, until a few weeks later, after the Nov 8th mid-term elections.

A3: Looks like Biden's attorneys notified the DOJ, immediately, and arrangements were made to have the government take possession of said records. Announcements were not made, while the process was underway. And, what do you know! Mike Pence's private attorneys, found confidential documents last week, and they notified the DOJ immediately. The latter followed the same procedure. We found out about it today, because Pence's sources decided to make it public.

Just as a reminder, the DOJ has no issue with government officials accidentally having Confidential Information. The issue is when said officials deny, then, refuse to cooperate, then throw tantrums, and then use these Confidential Documents as props, in Mar-a-Lago, to enhance the god awful gold-plated decor.

Hey, turns out the process of keeping track of confidential information is broken, and officials can actually end up accidentally come into possession of confidential documents. The criminality part comes down to how they decide to handle the situation.

What next, will documents be discovered at Jimmy Carter’s home?

Believe it or not, LBJ took several top secret documents he wasn’t authorized to have when he left the White House in 1968. These concerned the Vietnam War. They came to light in the early 1990s.

@LeopoldBloom I'm pretty certain we will find confidential documents, when Carter passes away, and everything goes to his library.

There is, however, between things sorted out after a Carter dies, and the Trump Presidential Lounge, at Scarlet's Cabaret, in Ft Lauderdale.

The problem is with the current system, we use to track these things. It needs a major overhaul.
@Northwest There are just way too many classified documents. And now with most federal offices going paperless, it may not even be possible to track everything.

@LeopoldBloom The techie in me, says that there is a solution. Going "digital" will make that even simpler, but even the hard copies, can be electronically tagged with an enhanced "printed" RFID passive circuit.

This is not really far fetched. About 3 decades ago, printer vendors were ordered to include "invisible" patterns into printed documents, as requested by the Treasury. Not a conspiracy theory, as it's something I had to implement, as part of the OS. This makes it possible for the right people, to determine which printer the document was used, and in more recent times, its serial number.

Only certain printers are allowed to print certain documents, and when they produced, they embed a GPS code tracker in them. It's too unlike what ER staff use, to track surgical implements, to make sure none ends up inside the patient, something that used to happen. There's a little bit more to it here, but it's very doable, especially with all the resources available to the government. The government may even be able to sell the end product to private business.
@Northwest I can't remember the name for it, but many companies will embed unique codes in emails so they will know who leaked them. This can be as simple as changing the font of one letter to a slightly different one - nothing the user will notice but it allows a leak to be traced back to a particular person. Elon Musk is notorious for this.

The way around it is to copy the message and change the formatting. So if anyone was intent enough, they would just take a photo of a classified document. But your system would at least stop inadvertent mistakes.

@LeopoldBloom There are secure ways to prevent a message from getting modified. A Checksum is one of the simplest and most effective methods. Requiring a certain email software, and a document verifier, would also be another solution. Bottom line: there are solutions, but the government needs to get its act together.
