Now that classified docs involve Biden, Republicans suddenly have a lot to say about ethics and standards. (via MaddowBlog)
Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Mark Warner, D-Va., is calling for his committee to receive a briefing on the classified documents discovered in an office used by President Joe Biden.
“Our system of classification exists in order to protect our most important national security secrets, and we expect to be briefed on what happened both at Mar-a-Lago and at the Biden office as part of our constitutional oversight obligations,” Warner said in a statement. He added that the Biden case is “certainly different from a months-long effort to retain material actively being sought by the government,” referring to the Trump scandal.
It’s reassuring to see Warner’s even-handedness. He and the president are of the same party, but the Intelligence Committee chair nevertheless acknowledged the importance of the classification system and requested a briefing to better understand the seriousness of the situation. That’s exactly what he did after learning about what happened in August at the former president’s glorified country club.
