Democrat Hank Johnson Floats Conspiracy Theory Behind Biden Document Scandal: ‘Things Can Be Planted’

Rep. Hank Johnson (D-CA), a man who is notoriously famous for suggesting that the island Guam may “tip over and capsize” from overpopulation, floated a conspiracy theory on Thursday in response to the classified documents that were found at a Biden think tank and President Joe Biden’s home.

Johnson made these remarks to Fox News reporter, when he was asked about the scandal.

“My response to it all is that alleged classified documents showing up allegedly in the possession of Joseph Biden, you know, I mean, there’s so much that needs to be investigated,” He stated. “And that’s, that’s what I called for is for everything to be investigated, but I’m suspicious of the timing of it.”

“I’m also aware of the fact that things can be planted on people, places and things can be planted, things can be planted in places and then discovered conveniently, that may be what has occurred here,” He said so. “I’m not ruling that out.”

“But I don’t, I’m open in terms of the investigation needs to be investigated,” He added.

The first investigation All rights reserved sometime after Biden’s personal attorney found 10 classified documents stashed in an envelope in the president’s private office at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington. The envelope was discovered by the attorney November 2, but the discovery was only made public earlier in the week. Richard Sauber (special counsel to President) stated that the documents were immediately transferred to the National Archives for storage.

Sauber said in a subsequent statement that a review of Biden’s known offices, quarters, and other spaces turned up a second set of classified documents at the president’s home in Wilmington, Delaware, according to The New York Times.

U.S. Attorney-General Merrick Garlandhttps://www.dailywire.com/news/merrick-garland-appoints-special-counsel-to-investigate-biden-classified-document-scandal”>responded To all the controversy, he announced Thursday that he had appointed an additional counsel to investigate further the matter.

Garland appointed former U.S. Attorney Robert Hur — who served during the Trump administration — to serve as special counsel in the investigation after the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois John Lausch, who was assigned to do an initial review of the case, recommended to Garland that a special counsel be appointed.

“On January 5th, 2023, Mr. Lausch briefed me on the results of his initial investigation and advised me that further investigation by a special counsel was warranted. Based on Mr. Lausch’s initial investigation, I concluded that, under the special counsel regulations, it was in the public interest to appoint a special counsel,” Garland said. “In the days since, while Mr. Lausch continued the investigation, the department identified Mr. Hur for appointment as special counsel.”

Garland signed an order stating that Hur would investigate “the possible unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents or other records discovered.”

“The document authorizes him to investigate whether any person or entity violated the law in connection with this matter,” Garland spoke at the press conference. “The special counsel will not be subject to the day-to-day supervision of any official of the department, but he must comply with the regulations, procedures and policies of the department.”
