and you know who dudes lawyer is? Seth Ducharme, who was former Eastern District of New York US Attorney, one of Barr's guys. Seemed like a good US Attorney, and I am sure he was.

Just kind of underscores some of the performative and borderline absurd nature of politics/Justice Department and elite private practice firms.

Rod Rosenstein, Gina Haspel, Sally Yates are at the same elite law firm in Atlanta now.

I voted for his ass but why the fukk does he have all of this shyt?
Because we elect old people who prefer to work with print instead of digital. I'm not even joking, there are a lot of elder attorneys, businesspeople, and politicians who love their hard copies.

Also, the US gov't notoriously over-classifies documents, I wouldn't necessarily read into that part too much.

MYRE: So I spoke with people who've worked at the CIA and the NSA and other national security outfits, and they said there is no master list. I ask if these agencies could, for example, just do a computer search for all the classified documents that they'd created yesterday or last week or last year. And I was told the answer is no. Now, when national security agencies create classified documents, they often share them with other agencies. And a small portion of them, the ones that are most important and sensitive, will make their way to the White House. And these agencies keep their own classified documents in-house. But they don't have a list of every document they create. And they don't know what happens when a document goes to another agency or even the White House.

SHAPIRO: And I imagine it becomes even more complicated if that classified document is on paper, less searchable than an electronic file on a computer. Would it be easier to track everything if it was all electronic?

MYRE: Yeah, Ari, that is true. And now most classified material - but not all of it - is electronic. And you'll partly run into some generational issues here. Younger officials are more comfortable with electronic records. Some older officials may request physical documents. For example, President Obama read his daily security brief on his iPad. Trump and George W. Bush liked to be briefed verbally. Now, I spoke about this with retired intelligence officer Larry Pfeiffer. At the CIA, he was chief of staff. He also served at the White House, where he ran the Situation Room when Barack Obama was president and Joe Biden was vice president.

LARRY PFEIFFER: There are some things that just are not delivered electronically. Some of the most sensitive source material that comes out of CIA is often only produced on paper. And that's to prevent some internal threat hacking in and then, you know, putting stuff on a storage device or something and walking out the door with it.

Pretty good episode

Exactly. I imagine this is rampant amongst past presidents and their VPs until Trump came along and blew up the whole thing by taking numerous boxes of classified docs, pretend not to have them, then refuse to give them back.

New: A lawyer for Mike Pence discovered about a dozen documents marked as classified at Pence's Indiana home last week and has turned those classified records over to the FBI.
