After the FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago to retrieve what were reported to be classified documents that were locked away (and whatever else the feds took) President Biden asked “how could anyone be that irresponsible”:

Those comments aged poorly after the Biden team fessed up to what was found at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, DC:
Add it all up and that means White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre must have had to take some extra Dramamine to avoid getting sick from all the extra spin she was going to have to do over this issue. When Biden was asked about it he just grinned like a lunatic at reporters, but KJP started off by hoping to avoid a confrontation by reminding reporters no confrontation was necessary — they could always just pick a different subject:
"We don't need to have this confrontation," says Karine Jean-Pierre when reporters press for answers about the discovery of classified documents

“My job is to answer your questions.” LOL. And by “answer” she means “dodge,” and that’s exactly what she did:
KJP: Biden "has said he doesn't know what is in [the documents]. So, there's no way for me to talk about the documents if he has said he doesn't know what's in them." pic.twitter.com/u2yS3FUo7t

"These documents were discovered on November 2nd...this didn't become public until...more than two months later. Why was the public not informed while the White House prepared its PR response for two months?"

KJP: "I'm not going to go beyond what the president shared yesterday." pic.twitter.com/7pFg7thQyG
REPORTER: "President Biden campaigned on a promise to stay true to the spirit of transparency. How is it possible that the White House did not reveal the presence of these documents prior to the election?"

KJP: "We released information that was very transparent." pic.twitter.com/MOEoRKJTzA
Why didn’t Biden release that info prior to the midterms
WOW - Good on @edokeefe for pressing back on the White House/KJP stonewalling on Biden's classified document scandal.

It's absolutely bizarre that this happened before the election but was kept secret until after and we all deserve answers on that. https://t.co/wLJdEY1JlE
