I wonder, who could it be? It's a mystery!

When things get really interesting in the brutal world of partisan politics, we often say “Grab the popcorn!” And in the case of the deepening Biden classified documents scandal, the suggestion couldn’t be more appropriate: this thing is turning into a classic “whodunnit” movie, worthy of the silver screen days of old.
Among the myriad of questions, one is paramount–and its answer is potentially the most revealing:
Who leaked Biden’s documents and why?
The conspiracy theorist keyboard jockeys — God knows the last thing we need is even more conspiracy loons — have been spinning their theories on social media from the outset, but the question remains: Who hung Biden out to dry and for what purpose? Prior to the leak to the media, only a select group of White House and Justice Department officials knew about the document violation and potential security breach.
As The New York Times reported, the original plot — the plot to hide the scandal in the first place — was initially designed by eight of Biden’s closest confidants, with apparent approval from Merrick Garland’s Justice Department. (I know; try to control your shock and amazement.)
The handful of advisors who were aware of the initial discovery on Nov. 2 — just six days before the critical midterm elections — gambled that without going public, they could convince the DOJ that the matter was little more than a “good-faith mistake,” unlike Donald Trump’s “hoarding of documents at his Florida estate.” (Don’t you just love the NYT’s venomous descriptions of all things Trump?)
However, the plot to hide the scandal was abruptly leaked to CBS News, 68 days after Biden’s personal attorney “discovered” the first batch of classified documents at the Penn Biden Center — funded in part by anonymous Chinese donations. Why did it take so long for the documents to be “uncovered” and ultimately leaked?
It’s also curious what Biden’s personal attorneys were originally looking for — and why — and also, how easy it is to link most of Joe’s scandals to the ChiComs, either directly or through his crackhead son Hunter.
So, as the damning revelations continue to drop, the Biden White House suspicions continue to grow, and the whodunnit plot continues to thicken. Hence, grab the popcorn.
Here’s more, via the NY Times:
The goal for the Biden team, according to people familiar with the internal deliberations who spoke on condition of anonymity, was to win the trust of Justice Department investigators and demonstrate that the president and his team were cooperating fully. In other words, they would head off any serious legal repercussions by doing exactly the opposite of what the Biden lawyers had seen the Trump legal team do.
In the short term, at least, the bet seems to have backfired. Mr. Biden’s silence while cooperating with investigators did not forestall the appointment of a special counsel, as his aides had hoped, but still resulted in a public uproar once it became clear that the White House had hidden the situation from the public for more than two months. Mr. Biden’s advisers still hope that the trust they believe they have engendered with investigators by not litigating the matter in public may yet pay off in the long run, by convincing the special counsel that nothing nefarious took place.
Sorry, no. That is unless, as Trump might say, “totally unscrupulous” Merrick Garland appointed a special counsel for the public appearance’s sake, and perhaps, as well, to hold the House Republican wolves at bay. Again, no. That ship sailed long ago, Joe, and it appears that your clock is about to strike midnight — at least to the extent of dashing your plan to seek re-election in 2024.
Ian Sams, a spokesman for the White House Counsel’s Office, told the NYT:
We understand that there’s a tension between the need to be cooperative with an ongoing DOJ investigation, and rightful demands for additional public information. And so we’re trying to strike that balance and being as clear as we can.
Memo to Mr. Sams: You’re trying to strike a balance and be as clear as you can? Why don’t you drop by one of embattled White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre‘s daily “Masterpiece Theater” performances in the briefing room and get back to us with your thoughts about how “balanced and clear” that clown show plays out every day?
The Biden trickle (pun intended).
More than 10 days after details about Biden’s classified documents were first made public, specific details of where they were initially found and by whom, and what they reveal remain evasive. Why? Somebody was compelled to leak the documents to CBS, presumably to hurt Biden’s political career. If so, the timing seems about right. With the midterms behind us and the 2024 general election campaign drawing nearer, why wait any longer? Besides, if Biden isn’t going to kick himself to the curb, why not do it for him, ASAP?
The Bottom Line
Seems to me the dots could be connected back to that initial somebody who leaked Biden’s classified documents to CBS News— unless, perhaps, the chain of command was broken along the way. But we’re talking about a small circle of Biden’s top aides. Then again, I was never a fan of whodunnit movies and even less of a fan of the board game “Clue.”
The “White House” (America’s Kremlin) is starting to panic. LOL!
Barack Obama
Trump punched the SS agent in the clavicles, dragged him out of the corvette with one arm, and sped off with the evidence.
Panic, my as$.
Hello, the game is rigged, freaking period!!!!!
This prick, and every other POS walks!
BET ON IT!!!!!!
Get some sleep.
The fact that the FBI isn’t raiding the CBS reporters house (like they did to Project Veritas) I’d say the deep state is behind it.
It’s very hard to imagine The Big Guy being the nominee next years...regardless of how much he may want it. The big wigs at Rat Party Headquarters just might keep what they know hush hush so,if The Big Guy insists on running, they can take him aside and whisper to him “you don’t want us to leak what we know about you,Hunter,your brother,the classified documents,etc to the Washington Post,do you?”
My guess is Ron Klain. Distant cousin of Antony Blinken, Victoria Nuland and Albert Bourla.
I’m not saying 0bama isn’t that dumb but, by law, the incumbent President is responsible for the disposition of all documents in the WH including the VP’s.
Obama.
And whoever stored them...I'm sure they knew what was in there and WHEN they were "hidden away"...and at whose orders. We have missing people...Lawyers on Nov 2nd were not the first to know..
Maybe I’m missing some nuanced sarcasm or something, but doesn’t this article start out ridiculing “conspiracy theories” and then end up with the authors own pet theory?
Given the number of people involved, the suspect list is long.
I wonder, who could it be? It's a mystery!
I know I am a little late to this particular party (story) but:
January 20, 2023 makes two years Joe (81 million votes) Biden has been in office. As many noted way back in 2021, January 20, 2023 is the magic date for the Washington nobility to remove Biden and have Kamala Harris move into the White House for the next 10 years.
I am surprised that they are still staying with the plan after seeing just how dump Harris really is.
But, then again maybe she is exactly what they want, I donno.
Kathy Chung???
RE: Kathy Chung???
Who is she?
As attention focuses on the documents’ path from the vice president’s office to the Penn Biden Center, Biden’s longtime executive assistant Kathy Chung has confided to associates that she is distressed that she might have inadvertently been involved in moving or storing classified material at the center, planting the seeds of the current uproar, according to a person briefed on her account.
Bill Taylor, Chung’s lawyer, declined to comment.
Chung became Biden’s executive assistant after the president’s son, Hunter, alerted her to the vacant post. Chung had worked on Capitol Hill, and Ted Kaufman, the president’s longtime confidant and former chief of staff, recommended her for the job, according to the person briefed on her account.
She was Bidens chief of staff RECORD by Hunter
