Presidents aides separate all the materials that belong to that president. they determine which ones are classified under the presidential records act or are classified materials and, therefore, government materials and need to be packed up and taken by the national archives. then the rest of the documents are deemed personal and they get taken to either a personal office, the penn biden center like former vice president joe biden, now president biden, or they get stored in some dusty area under...

>> thats a salient point the reason there is such a dynamic in this case because if you notice every time they have public contact they ask the public to elicit more information any tips of any sort please come forward at the same time they are giving the public much to work with the not giving any context or even slightly for what they have developed so it is a blanket request but as for why the most obvious is that they dont want people to get between them in the investigation there is the ris...
