  Did you really just skim my comment looking for the word “archives” and reply with this? 
  The context of what I said is important. I did not say NARA tracks everything, just that this incident wasn’t preceded by a request from NARA or a subpoena from the Justice Department. It was found by Biden’s team and voluntarily submitted for review while also opening up various locations to look for anything else marked classified. Those documents would still be marked classified even if they were declassified at some point but only the agencies responsible can say for sure what the status is. Either way I appreciate the thorough and open search to try to secure potentially classified information.
context: "A source familiar with the matter said no warrant was involved and the search was consensual.
  
  Earlier Wednesday, Bauer said in a statement that the Department of Justice was conducting the search with Biden's full support and cooperation."
  So,  in other words,  this is nothing like Donald Trumps obstruction and lying to NARA,  the FBI,  the DOJ,  and having to get a subpoena ...
  I hate to shoot down a false equivalence,  but hey,  the morons on some channels just keep wanting to equate the two completely different scenarios... >
  
  I might be way behind on this but they did find classified documents in other places didn’t they? >
  
  Maybe, there were no documents requested by the National Archives and no one subpoenaed Biden for these. An attorney or staffer came across documents marked classified and Biden’s team voluntarily reported them, which isn’t all that uncommon for former administrations. It is possible these are documents that were previously declassified and that’s why the National Archives wasn’t looking for them but the only way to verify that is to go through everything and turn it in for review, which is the process they are going through. 
  The other option is of course to deny they exist, pretend you declassified them, and get charged with obstruction. >
  
  You realize NARA doesn't track every classified document.  Probably not even 1%.  If they are marked they probability is they are classified.
