How serious are the Biden classified document scandal?

Biden has been caught so far with 16 pages in his Delaware home. Trump has been caught with 200 documents in Mara Lago. Biden has been cooperative while Trump has not.

Pretty darned serious. He is on record about it. Not just the obstruction. The possession. Those clips will be replayed during the election campaign.

The political damage is real. This effectively neuters him in using Trump’s shady and criminal behavior Re cleared documents in any meaningful way during a campaign. Despite the fact the scenarios here are vastly different, he won’t be able to raise Trump’s 200 documents without his own lapse coming up.

Not all of course classified (some 300 docs), but all but personal memorabilia and fast food wrappers, belonging to the National? Archives.

I got anther email Friday saying they were at the local UPS center and they would be delivered between 2pm and 5pm Friday. At about
430pm they arrived and a couple minutes later I get an email the package was delivered. Top Secret documents and they have no idea they
are missing for 6 years! The government clasifies everything, they probly have the number of rolls toilet paper used in the Whitehouse labeled
