No one should envy Attorney General Merrick Garland. He now has another presidential scandal involving “misplaced” or otherwise purloined classified documents on his hands. Except this time, it involves President Joe Biden, the man who nominated Garland to be the nation’s chief law enforcement officer.Naturally, many of Biden’s political opponents are drawing parallels between the mountain of classified material that Donald Trump shipped to Mar‐a‐Lago and the two batches (and counting?) of classified material in Biden’s possession outside of proper federal handling and storage channels. Biden’s lawyers and the White House have said they notified the National Archives immediately when the documents were discovered.
