If these documents are so SECRETIVE & SENSITIVE as they are said to be, why are they NOT tracked & monitored?
With computers it would be trivial to keep & MAINTAIN an accurate LOG of what documents were given to whom & whether they were returned.
Come on! This is NOT rocket science.
You wouldn’t have to do it with all documents, ONLY those of a certain level & above. Some of these, both with Biden & ‘Trump‘, are said to be ‘sensitive compartmented information facility’ (SCIF) level documents. Come on. If they are that sensitive why aren’t they more closely TRACKED?
45-years ago I worked for IBM which used to be paranoid about security — industrial espionage (in particular), but also too much government snooping. They had a very hierarchical document security system. The highest level that (quite junior at the time) I had access to was deemed ‘Registered Confidential‘ documents. The ‘Registered’ part designated that the document was indeed registered — there was a log of it & you had to sign it out & sign it in, in presence of a document custodian. So, IBM had a track of who had the document & whether it had been RETURNED.
This was 45-years ago. Basically like a library book check-out/check-in system.
Obviously the U.S. government does NOT have such a system, even for SCIF level documents.
Think about it.
If they did, they would have known that both Trump & Biden still had checked-out documents that they had NOT returned. Come on. This is simple stuff.
Now to my next question.
So, there was NO record that Biden had these 20 (or so) confidential documents.
Can we all agree on that (& ditto for the hundreds that Trump is supposed to have taken with him).
So, what would have happened IF Biden had not disclosed it?
Had them destroyed or sent to the ‘National Archives’ in a plain envelope.
Could they have been traced back to Biden?
Basically, Biden, the ol’ Catholic guy, was being too honest, too much of a gentleman.
Think about it.
Yes, if he got caught he would have to be impeached & maybe even sent to jail. But, what were the chances of that.
IF it was his lawyers who found them he would have been protected by their client-attorney privilege. WOW.
