Documents

Back in January of this year Robert Hur was appointed special prosecutor to investigate the way Biden handled the government documents he took home when he was a senator and vice president. Unlike the Trump investigation there have been no leaks. Hur has issued no statements and so the public assumes he is conducting a serious investigation. Hur said at the start, I intend to follow the facts swiftly and thoroughly. Not sure what swift means here. If he concludes that Biden as a senator removed documents will that mean an arrest and charge since such removal is a felony. Not likely. 18 USC § 1924 deals with the unauthorized removal of classified documents. Under this statute, it is a crime for any officer, employee, contractor, or consultant of the United States government to knowingly possess classified documents and remove them without proper authorization. Classified material shall not be taken home, and you must not work on classified material at home
