United States Representative Mike Turner, R-Ohio, who chairs the House Intelligence Committee, claimed during an interview on Sunday's edition of This Week that President Joe Biden snuck classified documents from Washington "on the train back home" to Delaware while he was serving in the Senate and then as vice president.
The conversation was focused on how and why sensitive materials keep turning up at the homes of high-level elected officials such as Biden and former Vice President Mike Pence. While no crimes have been alleged, Turner nonetheless believes that Biden acted suspiciously. And ABC moderator Martha Raddatz was deeply skeptical of that assessment.
Biden "clearly was taking them repeatedly on the train back home and putting them in boxes in his garage. That repeated action is certainly concerning, but the overall evidence that it was a repeated action, these are classified," Turner said.
When Raddatz requested proof to substantiate that accusation, Turner had none to provide.

So the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee isn't very intelligent.

(15,943 posts)Good to know, meanwhile he chairs the House Intelligence Committee where evidence is non existent, and Mikey can say and believe whatever his fantasies decide needs investigating.
What a joke, except it isnt funny. It is dangerous!

And guess what? That's a Classified Document.
Cause the information in it is Classified.
Not saying Biden did that but it's a fundamental misunderstanding of how things work to think that the only way classified Docs could get to a POTUS' house is via 'he/she bringing it there themselves by hand'.
To choose a more-likely scenario, his/her Chief of Staff walks into his home office with a schedule of their meetings that include 'Non-Public Phone Call with Ukraine President' ... and boom ... that's a Classified Document.
But since it's a GQP'er saying it ... it's just more of their incessant gaslighting. Turner knows damn well how this all actually works, and knows he's full of shit.
