Both should be held accountable for holding onto classified documents. Regardless of party affiliation

A very helpful video. What I can’t comprehend however is why there is not a traceable classified document custody chain, particularly for Secret and Top Secret (especially SCI and SAC documents). My local public library does a better job tracking books than the National Archives, the DoD, CIA, NSA, National Intelligence Agency, and other US government intelligence agencies. Why is there no law and protocol mandating that Top Secret documents can only be viewed in a SCIF then immediately retrieved and stored by special custodial agents? Documents of such high classification should only be viewed that way and NEVER be allowed to be taken by a President, Vice President, or high government official to their personal residence or elsewhere. How is it that this is not standard opera procedure? Absurd.

The National Archives should have a team of archivists and records managers who sole job is to pack up the WH inventorying each box as it is filled.

I would like to know how many other Presidents and Vice Presidents have taken materials with them. Surely the NARA has a record of the letters that they have sent over the years requesting missing papers. It didn't sound like it was a new problem in either administration. Anyone even curious if it happened with Nixon or Truman?

I'm late with a BOOK from the library, Ms. Helen gets ANGRY and charges money.

Here we go wsj gaslight political preference...
A Vice president can not de-classiffy
And Biden knew that -
Contrary to mainstream media, there is standard procedures to the handling classified material.
-
Oh good, the Wall Street Journal telling us what to think.
-
No the Vice Pesident does not have the authority to decalss documents so you may want to do better research on this, also they are not allowed to move SCI out of an area until they have been cleared and declassified by the originator of those documents.
-
Biden was a Senator and VP. Big difference
-
At Bush.'s library you can also see the shoe thrown at him 😅
-
Suddenly it's ok to lose documents 😅😅😅
-
So one sided WSJ
-
Vice presidents don’t have executive power to declassify. Also, now it’s okay? Media outlets are such a waste of time.
-
I was wondering whether there would be public information on this subject well done I commend this video for its candour. It will help the electorate to understand what is happening on this subject. Thanks again.
