The Breibart article is poorly written, and I am not following:
Did Biden say that the any complaint would be on file with the national archives and since the national archives does not have the complaint it never happened?
Did Biden say that if the complaint does exist that it would be on file with the national archives and those records are sealed?
Is Breitbart claiming that the complaint, if any, would be filed in a different office, and those records are sealed for 50 years?
Is Breitbart claiming that Slow Joe has the right to release the sealed records?
Breitbart really needs to hire high school graduates to write these articles.
I worked in the Senate in the 1980s. There was no place where a “formal complaint” of this type could be filed. Every Senate office was basically a sovereign fiefdom, with its own rules and almost no interference from the Senate as a whole.
I personally knew a young woman who was hired as a receptionist and fired days later because the senator (a woman) did not like the way she sounded on the phone. The employee, who had moved to DC for the job, was devastated, and had absolutely no recourse -— could not even file a complaint.
It was not until 1995, when the GOP’s so-called Contract with America was implemented, that there was any process for complaints. Even then, the system that was set up (and still exists) does not allow real investigations, but forces the alleged victim into counseling and negotiation with the accused senator.
In the end, if the senator stonewalls and the alleged victim will not negotiate a (secret) settlement, there is no process for determining guilt and no way to punish any wrongdoing.
As usual, the powerful win and the powerless are victimized. And now it’s happening all over again.
