Last year Joe’s attorney general, Garland Merrick appointed Robert Hur (does he have a son named Ben?) as a special counsel to investigate Joe’s alleged mishandling of classified documents. A number of boxes of classified documents had turned up in Joe’s possession. One box of them was found it the garage at Joe’s house in Delaware. Many had “top secret” markings and some had information that was still current.

Hur found two very big things as he questioned Joe. The first is that Joe didn’t accidentally take these classified documents with him when he left the vice-presidency or when he was a senator. He deliberately retained them, knowing he was in violation of federal law.
