Well...At least we know for SURE, these weren't declassified.

Come on board bleaters...Show the same giddiness you all showed during the witch hunt on Trump. Remember when they staged the documents found at Mar-a-Lago in a photo-op for the media? Will they treat Pedo-Joe the same?

Where's the anger? This proves it's all about hatred for Trump and nothing about his policies. Nothing more, nothing less.

Attorney General Merrick Garland has tapped a Trump-appointed U.S. attorney to investigate the discovery of classified documents at a pro-Biden think tank Monday.

John Lausch, the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, was appointed by former President Donald Trump in November 2017. Lausch will investigate the discovery of a batch of documents found at the offices of the Penn Biden Center, some of which were marked classified, a source with knowledge of the matter told Fox News Digital.

Lawyers for Pedo-Joe said they immediately notified the National Archives about the documents, dated from his time as vice president, once they were discovered. The group returned the documents to the Archives in November.

"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 Monday statement. "Since that discovery, the President's personal attorneys have cooperated with he Archives and the Department of Justice in process to ensure that any Obama-Pedo-Joe Administration records are appropriately in the possession of the Archives." (It didn't matter that Trump was cooperating though. They still raided his home)

The discovery echoes revelations last year that Trump had housed a trove of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago home after leaving office. The FBI ultimately raided his residence to recover some 300 classified documents.

Trump himself was quick to make the comparison on social media Monday, and a number of other Republicans called for more information about the Pedo-Joe documents.

"Under Pedo-Joe's Administration, the Department of Justice and National Archives have made compliance with the Presidential Records Act a top priority," Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., the Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said in a Monday statement. "We expect the same treatment for Pedo-Joe, who has apparently inappropriately maintained classified documents in an insecure setting for several years."

The Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement is affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania, but opened its doors in Washington, D.C., in February 2018.

The think tank's stated mission is to engage "Penn’s students and partners with its faculty and global centers to convene world leaders, develop and advance smart policy, and strengthen the national debate for continued American global leadership in the 21st century."
