I was struck by the timeline laid out by the Attorney General. It took two days to inform the DOJ. There was not an assessment until a week after the discovery. But the date that stood out was that on Dec. 20th it was personal counsel who found the latest document.
...It is unclear why personal counsel and not the FBI was searching through this material given the earlier filings and disclosures. There also would appear a third discovery of classified material.
...In fairness to the FBI, they also allowed the Trump team to identify material while asking for greater security. However, there were two separate findings in unsecure locations. It is not clear if the FBI asked for the opportunity to go through these spaces...
...What is clear is that these documents were not only held in unsecure locations but they were likely moved more than once after being removed at the end of Biden’s term as Vice President.
