As RedState reported earlier, President Joe Biden’s attorney Bob Bauer announced in a statement Wednesday morning that the Biden Dept. of Justice was conducting a search for classified documents at his Rehoboth Beach, Delaware home.
“Today, with the President’s full support and cooperation, the DOJ is conducting a planned search of his home in Rehoboth, Delaware,” Bauer wrote. “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.”
He also noted that “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.”
Already, questions are being raised as to why the public is being made aware of this search – which includes the FBI – from the president’s attorney versus, say, the DOJ or more importantly the mainstream media, whose responsibility it is to learn of these things in advance from their sources and have teams on standby for live reports/photos as they apparently did when former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home was raided by the FBI last August, and as they did when Trump associate Roger Stone’s home was raided by the FBI in January 2019 in full view of CNN cameras in the wee hours of the morning – complete with a SWAT team, automatic weapons, and a perp walk.
Here’s a quick flashback:
But as far as what’s happened today is concerned, all the reports I’ve seen filed thus far are far away from Biden’s beach home:
Others noted this as well, including former Trump acting Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell.
“Why isn’t @CBSNews live with this? Are you racing to his house to do Breaking News cut-ins? Where’s @jonkarl? Where’s @maggieNYT?” Grenell asked in response to a tweet from a CBS News producer on the news.
“Did they show up at 4am with @CNN?” the KateHydeNY Twitter account wondered.
As I’ve said before, though the mainstream media has surprisingly been more aggressive than I thought they’d be regarding the worsening Biden classified documents scandal, there’s still a fair amount of “playing clean up” going on amongst the Usual Suspects as they try to absolve Joe Biden of wrongdoing in the court of public opinion.
This of course isn’t the first time the MSM has run interference for Joe Biden and it won’t be the last, but it’s worth documenting for the record all the same.
