"We have asked for an assessment in the intelligence community of the Mar-a-Lago documents," Schiff said. "I think we ought to get that same assessment of the documents found in the think tank as well as the home of President Biden. I'd like to know what these documents were. I'd like to know what the [intelligence community's] assessment is, whether there was any risk of exposure and what the harm would be and whether any mitigation needs to be done."
@nblumengarten I'd like to know if there are any "rules" to where sitting Presidents read classified documents! There certainly must be rules about common citizens (i.e. former Presidents) even having classified documents. I've never heard mention of the rules, procedures for checking them out (like a library?) are there limits on where a sitting President can study them! Are there rules, who promulgated them, where are they published, who is the "librarian" that checks the docs out?
@Gladari @nblumengarten And I feel a lot of the difference in levels of "classified" is being glazed over. Classified could be as simple as meeting notes that are classified... But not Top Secret or SCIF level of classified. Definitely needs to be investigated to find out what level, because I would assume lower level classified docs still can go "home" with a VP or Senator for work or reading over purposes, if they're not a threat to NatSec... I'm sure there's rules about that.
