Doocy to KJP: ‘Which four letter word did you use’ when Biden was busted with yet more docs?

When considering how White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has handled the seemingly never-ending discovery of classified documents in President Joe Biden’s possession, a comedy routine comes to mind.

On that note, Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy got a laugh out of the president’s affirmative action spokesperson during Monday’s press briefing when he asked, “When you found out that the FBI had located even more classified materials in Wilmington, which four-letter word did you use?”

“Oh, my goodness, Peter,” Jean-Pierre responded, with a hearty laugh.

The question was prompted by the discovery of what appears to be the fourth tranche of classified information discovered by FBI agents at Biden’s home in Delaware on Friday during a 13-hour search — this coming after Jean-Pierre said of such documents that “the search is complete.”

Doocy followed up on his inquiry to ask if Biden is still intending to run for reelection in 2024 and when Jean-Pierre replied that the president said he intended to run, he then asked, “Is there a precedent for people running for president after FBI agents search their sock drawer?”

After asking for clarification, Jean-Pierre suggested that he already knew the answer to his question, with Doocy pushing back to note that “an FBI search of a president’s residence is a big, big deal.”

“Here’s what the president’s going to focus on. He’s going to focus on continuing to deliver for the American people. That’s his focus. That’s what he focuses on every day. That’s what he’s been focusing on the last two years. And nothing is going to change that,” Jean-Pierre said, before rattling off a few supposed successes.

“The House Oversight Committee chairman says this document situation has all the makings of a potential cover-up. Is President Biden involved in a cover-up?” Doocy pressed.

“We’ve been very clear here from this administration. The president has been very clear that he takes this very seriously when it comes to that, when it comes to classified information, when it comes to classified documents, and that his team has been, has been fully cooperative with this legal matter,” the press secretary replied.

This being the standard line since the White House first announced that classified documents had been found — some two months AFTER they were discovered in the days leading up to the midterm elections. The one thing Biden appears to have been “serious” about, given the number of stashes, was the removal of classified information.
