Biden DOJ Personnel Exposed Classified Materials While Special Counsel Jack Smith Prosecuted Trump, Records Show

BUTLER COUNTY, IOWA - Messages obtained by U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) show personnel at the Biden U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), including personnel assigned to Jack Smith's Special Counsel Office (SCO), potentially mishandled classified materials themselves amid Smith's own investigation into President Trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents.

The messages, provided by DOJ in response to Grassley's oversight requests, reveal:

"Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. According to these messages, Biden DOJ personnel may have committed the very offense for which Jack Smith was prosecuting President Trump," Grassley said. "These records expose yet another double standard of justice. While Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden escaped accountability for mishandling highly classified information, Jack Smith and the Biden DOJ set out to paint President Trump as a felon and ruin him politically. These and other records I've made public show the Biden Justice Department was unquestionably careless, not to mention highly hypocritical."

A. Concerns that individuals were provided access to classified materials without confirming they had the appropriate "need to know," and material housed in a SCIF may have been moved.

CVR - Carli Rodriguez-Feo; JAE - Julie Edelstein:

B. A SCIF accessible to SCO personnel was left open overnight and potentially longer, creating "a violation and incident," and there was limited help with oversight to secure the SCIF.

WGO - William O'Neil; CVR - Carli Rodriguez-Feo:

C. SLV - Stephanie Van Buskirk was identified in the messages above as opening the SCIF "the day before," resulting in the "violation and incident," and she appears to have been an assistant to Jack Smith.
