Somebody already turned that faucet off.

I wrote that there is no evidence, to date, that Trump-Biden-Pence story is about overclassification, in spite of the big push to claim it is. The classification of notes like these is the area where it is most likely to BECOME about overclassification.https://t.co/aefiC8m05f https://t.co/nLfhs60exZ

For those asking: notes from Trump were included in BOTH the materials returned in January 2022 and in stuff seized in August 2022. Indeed, one of the things seized from his desk drawer is a note he wrote as POTUS.

In his case, there are also notes ON classified docs.

“Under DOJ’s standard procedures, in the interests of operational security and integrity, it sought to do this work without advance public notice, and we agreed to cooperate,” [Biden's personal attorney Bob] Bauer said. “The search today is a further step in a thorough and timely DOJ process we will continue to fully support and facilitate. We will have further information at the conclusion of today’s search.” 

I know all the kewl kids use that dripping fauce cum chinese water torture metaphor, but please, let it go, will ya? When the facts catch up, you just look stupid.
