There\u2019s a lot that needs answering here. Biden hasn\u2019t worked for Penn since 2019. So why were they packing up the office in Nov. 2022, and why was a personal lawyer sent? Personal lawyers don\u2019t usually pack up offices, not when you have to pay them hundreds of dollars an hour. That would suggest that there was a reason that lawyer was there. Did someone else find the documents first and call the lawyer? And now, this also exposed the classified documents to that personal lawyer.<\/p>\n<p>But it was Fox\u2019s Peter Doocy who brought down the house with his question and you have to see KJP\u2019s face in reaction, it\u2019s priceless.
