Biden had boxes full of classified docs from his time as a Senator. Unlike Trump, who had ultimate declassification authority as POTUS, there is no possible legal authority for Sen. Biden to possess those docs. He clearly violated the law. I look forward to seeing those charges.

I’d never seen Jim Lehrer’s “rules of journalism.” So good. If reporters actually followed them, public trust in the news media wouldn’t be in the toilet.

Not all reporters are dishonest. Half or more might be upstanding. But dishonesty is endemic in the profession. You can tell from e.g. Jim Lehrer's rules for his own conduct. He wouldn't need to mention these practices explicitly if they weren't common.

Many NatSec journos are beholden to their anon sources. It’s its own form of agency capture. They let them remain anon & hide behind “take my word for it; it’s classified,” & always favor the anons over on-the-record officials who oppose what the unelected bureaucracy wants.

So my argument is that proponents of Ukraine aid are ignoring basic mathematical realities. An anonymous staffer claims based on the "classified intel" that I'm wrong, and is contradicted by the Ukrainian defense minister. Can't make this stuff up.
