opinion. it didn t help that as the wall street journal reported, the fbi decided earlier there was no need to send agents to supervise biden lawyers collecting classified papers that they said they found. that reeked of a double standard. the washington post says biden world adopted a strategy of caution and deference toward doj, it was the goody two-shoes approach, more concerned with pleasing investigators than the public. here s a classic example. after white house sat on this story for two months, officials confirmed the cbs scoop about the first batch of documents found at penn biden center. now, the prime minister and his people already the president and his people already knew about the second batch but said nothing. it smelled like a cover-up. the post says some of biden s aides now regret the strategy. you think? here s the thing, anyone if can defend himself even when there s a justice investigation. i m howard kurtz, and this is mediabuzz. if. howa
