  Republicans: this shows Biden doesn't work hard and isn't briefed on classified matters.
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. >
  
  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. >
  
  
  Did you really just skim my comment looking for the word “archives” and reply with this?
  
  You mention them twice when they arent likely a significant factor in the likelihood these are classified.  
  Id gamble they arent declassified, though best likely case they were overclassified.  But yes, this is how the process should go. >
  
  And yet media drooled all over themselves all morning breathlessly reporting on it.  Media needs to get back to real journalism. This crap is embarrassing. >
  
  the constant stream of ridiculous horse shit during trump's tenure got them hooked on the clicks and views. they're desperate to drum up drama to get that hit again

  Those M&M's with their extremely strong hands and powerful thighs. Their perfectly sculptured hour glass figures. Why are we giving them shoes when they should be wearing assless chaps. God gave them these assets why cant they flaunt them? Why don't we have white M&M's? Im just asking the questions here and I know the American public deserves to know. Wait no one else is thinking about these M&M's and how sexually charged they make me? They really get you riled up right? Wait they don't? Why have the liberals taken away a man's sexuality? Why are men not allowed to have these primal urges for the confectionary treats covered in chocolate and sometimes with nuts inside? Again, im just asking the questions. >
  
  I was fully able to read that in Tuckers voice. You nailed it >
  
  Now do all of Trump's residences. >
  
  Why have they not searched all trump's homes? >
  
  They have more than enough already for obstruction charge.  Will they charge him w it is the problem. >
  
  what about the security of the country?! >
  
  Biden's got it handled. >
  
  Well, that's good. >
  
  but the important issue to republicans is "were there any dick pics?" >
  
  But why HAVENT we had MORE news reports about the suspicious LACK of evidence!? HUH!? HUH!? Oops, don't look towards the orange criminal, we are all too busy focusing on Biden right now, thank you. ~ GoP. >
  
  Now.  Off to Bedminster with a shovel. >
  
  Put that in your pipe and smoke it. >
  
  How? They didn't find anything. 😏 >
  
  They're gonna bust out the classics
  
  The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence >
  
  Could've sworn I've seen 4 or 5 different posts about "FBI found no classified documents in Biden's home" before this one. I wonder if they're being deleted as off-topic.
  Which would be interesting, given that posts of "FBI is searching Biden's home for classified documents" still seem to remain, as on-topic.
  Would that show any bias or impropriety if "FBI searching Biden" mudslinging/false equivalencies are allowed to remain, but any exonerating "Biden's clean, FBI search and found nothing" posts are deleted?
  Is that preferential treatment? >
  
  I guess we'll find out with this one. >
  
  So much for "He's the same as Trump.". >
  
  But didn’t they find documents in his house and garage? >
  
  Yes they did. They also found them because he complied with the FBI and didn't try to fight the search like Trump did. That's where it differs. I honestly don't know why this has to be explained. >
  
  … because I don’t watch the news much, everyone on here was talking like he’s done nothing wrong. Honestly if they both did the same crime what does it matter whether or not they cooperated? >
  
  No one here is saying he did nothing wrong. Or if they are, it's the minority. The majority of us (myself included) agree he shouldn't have had those documents where he did. And if it turns out it was purposeful, then he should be punished accordingly. Trump KNEW he had the documents and tried using bullshit reasons as to why he should have them. So no, it's not nearly the same crime. >
  
  FBI did find the full "Goosebumps" collection however with a signed copy of "Welcome to Dead House" >
  
  Wait?? They searched his house and he didn't start having a tantrum and start waving tiny hands everywhere? >
  
  obviously that means he already sold them /s >
  
  On Right Wing websites this will translate to "CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS PROVING JOE BIDEN PERSONALLY PLANNED 9/11 FOUND INSIDE DISCARDED COMET PIZZA BOX" >
  
  Must be nice to have multiple homes >
  
  It's interesting that they are searching every place that Biden ever set foot in, but refuse to search any of Trump's other properties where he almost certainly still has stolen documents. 
  I know that Biden is giving them permission, but DOJ is still giving Trump a pass. >
  
  Now search the rest of Trump's residences and dig up that lady he buried in one of his gold courses. >
  
  I would post this in the r/Conservative thread where they said this sub wouldn't cover this story....but I'm banned.
  Big LOL this was a nothingburger >
  
  How is this news? They didn’t find anything. If they found something that would be News. >
  
  I have to wonder if there is not some element of FBI pro-Trumpism at play in all these searches. >
  
  Seriously how many houses do rich people need? >
  
  I don’t need to know when they don’t find anything. >
  
  So is this it? Have all Biden properties been searched? BTW, imagine having so many houses that you can't keep track of them all and what might be in them? >
  
  they need to check all of trump's properties (perhaps even his children / cabinet) >
  
  Cool. How many properties to go?
  I see I am misunderstood. I just want to get it over with. >
  
  This subreddit is one I tend to agree with more often than not but really loves to downvote dissent. I mean most do but I find that even questions get the same treatment. But yeah lol it is funny seeing the stupidity of politicians on display for me at least. >
  
  I was reading about this on a local news site (not American). When I did the standard "reddit Biden FBI raid" search on Google, I couldn't find this post until I literally started quoting the linked article. What's going on? >
  
  It wasn’t a raid. That’s where you went wrong. >
  
  I don't care. Google shows me reddit posts I'm looking for even when I don't use exact words. >
  
  Use more exact words >
  
  FINALLY!  We found a place that Biden/Trump didn’t have classified documents.  Yay! >
  
  Well if you bought it decades ago, regular people bought them also. >
  
  Well that's no fun >
  
  Well that’s good. I know that’s where I always take my classified documents >
  
  So is Biden inviting the FBI to search his residences to set a precedent for them to search more of Trump’s properties? Or to avoid any perceived favoritism if they are about to search more of trump’s properties? 
  I would guess that the special counsels must talk/coordinate, and are sensitive to making both investigations look equal. And Biden knows how it all works. He’d be happy to set the precedent. I can hope… >
  
  Con sub is saying it was an FBI raid and they found a treasure trove. 
  Mods are shit on Reddit. >
