According to the White House, there are no visitor logs for the Biden stash house in Wilmington, Delaware where three sets of classified documents were discovered.
The Delaware residence is considered Biden’s private residence and no logs of visitors are maintained.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -No visitor logs exist for President Joe Biden’s home in Wilmington, Delaware, where classified documents from his vice presidential days were found, as it is a private residence, the White House Counsel and Secret Service said on Monday.
“Like every President across decades of modern history, his personal residence is personal,” the White House Counsel’s office said in a statement.
The Secret Service, which is tasked with protecting current and past presidents and their families, does not “independently maintain our own visitor logs because it’s a private residence,” agency spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said.
The Republican chairman of the House of Representatives Oversight Committee, James Comer, on Sunday demanded visitor logs for Democrat Biden’s house in Wilmington after classified documents were found in his office and garage there. (read more)
The Secret Service knows who came in. Ask them legally.
Isn’t Mar a Lago President Trump’s private residence? The FBI had no reservations about invading HIS private residence in a massive raid. No such raid on Biden’s residence however.
Precisely. This is not a case of apples to oranges, it is a case of unprecedented hypocrisy and a two-tiered legal system.
Let’s go, Brandon. Quickly.
It’s possible there is a split tax designation with certain square footage for the business and some for private residence. Different tax rates for each classification. Most codes don’t allow people to live in businesses so they require living quarters to be different and classified for tax purposes as such.
bullcrap. More lies.
Bottom line…Biden had no authority as a VP to take, have and hold these documents. That’s the crux of this, regardless of what they are about or it’s nature. He broke the law…lets see what Garland does with this. How does he make this go away. I find it interesting that it’s even coming out right now after all this time. Why now?
Progressive left gadfly Rob Reiner makes the argument that there is a huge difference between Trump’s and Biden’s possession of nominally classified documents after they were no longer in office. (Huge, absolutely huge!)
As Reiner frames it, Trump is a criminal psychopath bent on destroying America, while Biden is a decent, honest human being having no criminal intent in possessing classified information after leaving the office of the Vice Presidency.
Here is another angle on the basic issue.
Barack Obama declared a large number of classified documents as presidential records and had copies of these documents shipped to Illinois for his presidential library. These are now stored in an unguarded warehouse until Obama’s library can be finished.
NARA tried to retrieve these documents from the warehouse because of the sensitivity of the information they contain, using the negotiation process described in the Presidential Records Act. The act has no criminal provisions and no enforcement mechanism.
NARA was not successful in retrieving the documents. Obama held firm that he would not give them back. Subsequent to the failure of the negotiation process, a lawsuit was filed by an independent party to gain access to the material.
The courts held that while he was still president before January 20th, 2017, the documents were declassified the instant Obama identified them as presidential records and the GSA boxed them up for shipment to Illinois. For all practical purposes, the documents are now Barack Obama’s to do what he wants with them.
OK ….. You are Biden’s lawyers in the White House, in the DOJ, and in the FBI and you are assigned to get Biden off the hook.
What if the copies of the ‘classified’ documents Biden had in his possession between January 20th, 2017, and January, 20th, 2021 are among those Obama declassified in early January 2017 simply by declaring them as presidential records and having the GSA box them up for shipment to Illinois?
If the documents Biden had in his possession are among those Obama identified as presidential records, those documents had been declassified before Biden left office. And so he is off the hook. Mostly anyway.
As for his possession of copies of these documents before he left office, while these were still classified, all Biden really has to do is to claim he had a need to know what was in them while he was VP. The FBI and the DOJ will forgive him for mishandling the information while it was still classified.
Someone on Biden’s team must be making damn sure that copies of the material Biden had in his house are among the copies of material Obama declassified simply by declaring them as presidential records.
And if it isn’t certain that such copies are actually there in the warehouse, the problem is easy enough to solve with a copy machine at a quick trip to Illinois.
If this is how Biden gets off the hook, then how can the DOJ make the argument that Trump’s possession of material identified as a presidential record was somehow different? Will they make the Rob Reiner argument that Trump had criminal intent in possessing the material, while Biden didn’t?
“The Secret Service, which is tasked with protecting current and past presidents and their families, does not “independently maintain our own visitor logs because it’s a private residence,” agency spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said.” Here in flyover country, that’s what we call a pantload.
Words matter: “Independently” implies that some other entity does maintain such a list. My guess is some form of the National Intelligence Databases available through the FBI that the Secret Service uses to vet any visitors. Ask the right questions of the right people in DC and you get the answers they try and hide.
That’s pretty much what my spidey sense was telling me, too, or, something along those lines.
I trust most of the many Tucker Carlson haters here are beginning to accept, finally, that Carlson is not a Commie mole for the Dark Side. Sundance has been favorably posting about his opening monologues a lot, and for a long time too.
He does cut right to the heart of all the major issues, and from a conservative viewpoint, doesn’t he? And maybe someone here could enlighten us with the names of anyone else in the major media who is anywhere close to hitting the left nearly as hard as he does.
Spot on. The Tucker haters are, I think, a small minority of posters here but their logic is flawed. Sundance gives him the ultimate endorsement, which is no small matter.
Well, let’s just slap labels on your fellow Treepers. So I don’t agree with your opinion that Tucker is the end all, be all so I’m a hater?
You all seem to not understand from what channel Tucker’s show is on and who controls that channel. You refuse to connect the fact that he is allowed to say what he says, as long as Fox sees the money rolling in. He’s being paid to tell you what you want to hear and in so doing, keep you tuning in.
Yes, he does a good job of laying things out and pointing in the direction of the source of all the things going wrong here.
Credit where credit is due. But it doesn’t mean he’s exactly been dog on a meaty bone tough on those in power and really shook the pillars of heaven in doing so.
I have decided not to label you all for what I think you are for getting all hopped over Tucker’s every monologue he utters. I could throw a couple out there. But that’s not who I am these days. I try to love all of you as we’re supposed to according to the Lord’s admonition, regardless of our difference of opinions.
As I said to Dan Dan the other day. I have my opinion of Tucker, you have yours. And obviously the twain shall never meet.
Have a blessed evening/day where ever you may be.
What NO One is discussing but which seems to be pertinent to me, is that the 6 year old top secret dox discovered at Biden’s concerned UKRAINE and CHINA…my recollecton is that 6 yrs ago Ukraine was barely on our radar- we were deep in Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan…..Hunter’s license listed Joe’s home as his address and Joe admitted Hunter had access and suddenly Hunter is getting paid millions from Chinese and Ukrainian companies…connect the dots folks.
You are on target, A.
Joe Biden – if his lips are moving, he’s lying…(no he didn’t go to services at black churches every morning; no, he wasn’ t raised by Puerto RIcans; no,he didn’t graduate anywhere NEAR the top his his law school class at Syracuse…I could go on and on)- the minute Joe saw the results of the midterm and started talking about a second run, HIS OWN PEOPLE found a way to stop him….I am not a Dem but I’m thankful they did- Joe has been the absolute WORST President in my lifetime…..
“I used to say if I can make an arrangement where I had a stand-in, a front-man or front-woman, and they had an earpiece in, and I was just in my basement in my sweats looking through the stuff…”
————–BO on Colbert, a month before FJB installed in the WH.
Who is the absolute worst?
Double standard justice is just another indicator of BANANA REPUBLIC; bought to us by Obama Democrats, which includes RINOs. Saving AMERICA is not possible until they can be permanently EXPELLED! Reinstate the sedition laws and reverse Citizens United and heavily tax political corporations incomes.
Somebody should check tax returns to see if there has ever been a deduction for an office in there.
Is there any doubt?
Nor sure if this has been addressed, but why does it seem that no one is talking about the fact that Biden attorneys that have no security clearance are being allowed by the DOJ/FBI to run around looking for classified documents, of which they seem to be finding more of all the time. Why is the FBI or Garland’s puppet Special Counsel not conducting this investigation? How does Garland know the attorneys won’t take certain documents and hide them for Biden, if they haven’t already? What a joke!
For the same reason they were not talking about Hillary’s attorneys who had no security clearance but were allowed to peruse her emails that contained classified information and delete 30,000 of these emails and then participate in destroying the subpoenaed electronic devices.
We learned that no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute Democrats for something you and I would go to prison (or worse).
Biden does not know what is going on. He is a sock puppet. He will soon be giving his puppet master, Obama, what he needs. That is an option to remove Biden from office or a declaration that Old Joe will not run for re-election in 2024. I believe Biden is toast, but the complete incompetence of Kamala Harris is giving Biden that choice.
Obama is making the decision but, either way the Demcommies need to start the next campaign for the Presidency without wondering what Joe will do. They will win again, but only if they can make their candidate a household before the next election cycle goes into full swing. Joe has been a poor bet for Barry, so far.
Wouldn’t the person who scheduled the visitors have a list? Certainly no one showed up without an appointment, after all, Biden may be out on his bike or getting ice cream.
It wouldn’t matter if there WERE visitor logs. We still wouldn’t see them.
As an example, refer to the Epstein Island case…

It amazes me how many are shocked there are no logs. It’s been common knowledge since he was installed. Taking advantage of that he can see and talk to whoever without public scrutiny. Convenient for whoever is pulling the (say Obama) strings.
You can bet the IC knows who has been there.
Jill knows who was there.
Jill’s secretary knows who was there.
Joe has no idea.
The lack of visitor logs and the amount of rent that Hoover… uh,Humper… er, Hunter paid to dear ol’ Dad are red herrings. The key to the story is in the documents that were being stored at the U of PA. Why was the DOJ involved in every document tranche found except for the tranche stored at The Biden Center which were retrieved by white – shoe attorneys who do not hold security clearances?
