Former Clinton administration adviser David Gergen believes President Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents risks doing very real damage to him.
On CNN’s AC360, host Anderson Cooper welcomed the veteran political operative on to discuss the issue. Cooper mentioned the potential “political fallout” of consistent revelations more of documents being found in locations Biden used after his time as vice president.
“How big a mess is this for the Biden administration?” Cooper asked.
Gergen responded, “It’s very, very big. Not legally but politically, it’s a very, very big deal.”
He continued:
This is a president that was marching upward for the first time in his presidency. He got his numbers up. People are feeling better about the economy. There are all sorts of reasons to believe that he can now present himself–the fears that people like me have about how old he is and can he govern well? Those fears would be dissipated if he were able to stay on that track.
Gergen called the classified documents reporting a “gigantic story” and questioned why the president’s team did not make more of an attempt to get ahead of it.
“The Biden people, they may be making a big mistake, Anderson,” Gergen said. “I may be wrong about this. They’ve done a wonderful job being cooperative with the government, and they’ve done it by the books. I don’t think sitting there hunkering down now, just acting like it’s not out there is good. They’re going to get creamed doing that.”

Why is Gurglin’ worried? The mid-terms were when real damage could’ve been dealt to Brandon and Team Donkey.
Oh? Is it really worse than what Hillary did, Mr. Gherkin?
Is Joe in a pickle? Is he too old to open a pickle jar?
Inflation is still out of control, we’re being drug into a third world war, we were locked down, censored, our cities burned down, and been forced into the greatest medical crime in history and that is why the communists and the DC monsters are throwing Biden under the bus because he is. Is a liability.
My thinking is that with Donbass facing near-term liberation by Russia and a much bigger offensive coming very soon, the Neocons know that they now need to formally send in NATO troops to Ukraine, and they simply CANNOT get Biden to do so.
So the plan is to replace him with Airhead who likely will do as they demand.
Wow. David Gergen Is still alive.
David Rodham Gergen crawls out from under his rock.
If the government gave two $hits about Biden and classified material they would have looked at the files on Hunter’s laptop. But they have not supposedly.
Good point. Where there is smoke there is fire. I’m going to guess Brandon saved copies of most everything significant for potential later use.
this has all the earmarks of a set-up being orchestrated by the deep-state who obviously have made the decision - Biden must go!
“Why is Gurglin’ worried?”
He’s part of the group that makes easy spending money blathering about the daily scream, that’s all.
Orders is orders...
* Deep State
* FBI
* CIA
* DNC
* Kamala Harris
* Obama
Not legally?
Anyone else would be imprisoned.
I didn’t know the putz was still alive.
What Biden means is he’s been told by his superiors he can’t say anything until he is given what he’s going to say.
When Trump got targeted for something everyone in the DC elites does it was because Dems want to make sure he cannot run in 2024.

And maybe if a single person in the Media would point that out.
