Biden and Most People Do Not Distinguish Biden former President Donald TrumpAn increasing number of White House allies are critiquing the administration’s handling of the scandal’s classified documents controversies.

“The drip, drip, drip of new documents is problematic for Biden and is becoming slightly more than an annoyance for Democrats,” lawyer and former Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer Christopher Hahn (D-NY) was an aide to the Senator Washington Examiner. “It’s hard to explain to the public that Biden and Trump should be viewed differently. In politics, if you’re explaining, you’re losing, and it’s clear congressional Democrats have opted not to explain.”

The Aggressive Progressive podcast host added, “While this isn’t an electoral issue at the moment, should this continue into the spring, it could well be.”

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), is the No. 2 Democrat in Senate, accepted Biden “well, of course” The Justice Department was unable to give up the political high ground for classified documents uncovered another batch of records in Wilmington last Friday following an almost 13-hour search of “all working, living and storage spaces” of his residence, including from when he was a senator.

“Let’s be honest about it,” Durbin told CNN. “When that information is found, it diminishes the stature of any person who is in possession of it, because it’s not supposed to happen. Whether it was the fault of a staffer or attorney, it makes no difference. The elected official bears ultimate responsibility.”

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), who is up to reelection next, expressed disbelief about Trump’s and Biden’s investigations based upon his own experiences using classified documents.

“When I go into the SCIF with the secure documents, they always ask, ‘Are you clean?’ when you walk out,” Manchin spoke to NBC. “They want to make sure you’re not carrying anything out. … To put those in unsecured spaces is irresponsible.”

“I think he should have a lot of regrets,” He also mentioned Biden.

The week before Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), supported an intelligence risk assessment related Biden’s classified documents controversy. This was similar to the one Trump sought during an interview with ABC, amid speculation that Trump is about to launch a Senate race in California.

Biden’s problems are exacerbated simultaneously by his lack transparency, according the Colby College visiting professor in politics and onetime candidate.

“Biden should also have gone to the public, said we screwed up when I left office, and we are now turning everything over and asking that everywhere be searched for anything else,” He said. “The drip, drip, drip is exacting a political cost. … I think the long-term damage is yet to be seen, and it won’t be until this all plays out.”

Ian Sams, White House Counsel’s Office spokesperson, defended Biden against Durbin and Manchin Monday, claiming that his colleagues in legislative affairs were “constantly in touch” Capitol Hill

“Sen. Durbin, for example, in his interview [Sunday], emphasized again that this president was handling this responsibly, that he was properly and appropriately cooperating with the Justice Department,” Sams said. “But at the same time, there’s a lot of other priorities that he’s focused on. He’s focused on implementing the legislation that he passed last year. … These are the kinds of things that he’s ensuring that he’s communicating with the American public about.”

Bob Bauer, Biden’s private attorney, shared a statement last weekend which was partially repeated by the White House Counsel’s Office.

“DOJ took possession of materials it deemed within the scope of its inquiry, including six items consisting of documents with classification markings and surrounding materials, some of which were from the president’s service in the Senate and some of which were from his tenure as vice president,” He wrote. “DOJ also took for further review personally handwritten notes from the vice presidential years.”
