classified information shouldn t be properly stored and managed. of course it should be. but this fact, the fact that not only that the trump team had their issues and we know how chaotic that west wing was, but that even the obama team and president biden s team apparently had to issue and that there were errant documents stored in places where they should not be stored under any circumstance speaks to a larger problem about how we manage classified information, how we document and store it, and how much to what extent we are overclassifying things. and that speaks, as far as i m concerned it doesn t change whether or not things were done wrong here. i don t think president biden should have ever had those documents where he did. but it speaks to a larger question we need to to address of do we need to find a way to reduce this mountain of paperwork that we re trying to oversee. you also point out in the piece the millions of people involved in this system. i m wondering if you th
of this situation. the strategizing has been left to a small group of advisers, as well as outside lawyers. a source confirming that bob bower will be representing president biden in a personal capacity in this classified documents case. they have a long working relationship together as bower also worked for biden during the 2020 campaign. and it is that set of lawyers that will be working with the special counsel as they conduct this investigation into the handling of classified documents. officials here at the white house have repeatedly tried to stress that they are cooperating every step of the way with the national archives, the justice department, and now the special counsel. there s still so many questions about these classified documents that were found first at that penn biden center office that president biden used after he left the vice president s office, as well as documents that were found at his residence in wilmington, delaware. of the documents that were found at the p

bureaucracy. there needs to be a real discussion on that, and if this is something if congress is truly going to look into problems, and i know there s going to be hearings to look into the mishandling by apparent mishandling by president biden, there should be a real discussion about how we classify and who truly does and does not need a security clearance. if you were advising members of congress on what needs to be reformed to make the system more secure, what specific measures would you suggest? so we need to to get a full aol a lengthy congressional hearings, there needs to be true discussions with the office of personnel management, with the major intelligence agencies. some of this would have to be done in closed session given the national security purposes. but that s why congress has that power to do so. but they need to have a real discussion about whether they need to be legislative reforms, bureaucratic incentives to truly conclude and truly thin out who requires
