Noah Rothman: Biden's team tried to avoid a political scandal. Instead, they created one.
The response to the discovery of these documents was at first the exclusive province of what the Times described as a “tight circle” of Biden’s personal lawyers and White House advisers, including longtime political strategist Anita Dunn. According to the Times, it was Dunn whoto the public and focusing instead on emphasizing the distinctions between Biden’s conduct and Trump’s.
reported, Team Biden maintains that not having been forthcoming with voters was designed to reassure the Justice Department that this was all a simple misunderstanding and avoid the impression that Biden’s folks were “putting their thumb on the scale in an investigation.” That’s one way to spin what less charitable observers would describe as a classic political cover-up.
It appears the Justice Department wasn’t reassured. On Jan. 12, Biden’s attorney general announced that the Justice Department would appoint ato take over the investigation into the president’s mishandling of documents, erasing yet another distinction between Biden and his predecessor. Eight days later, the Justice Department knocked another pillar out from under the Biden White House’s case when it searched Biden’s Wilmington home and found even more classified documents.
