CNN Guest on Biden’s Classified Docs: ‘This Type of Mishandling Happens All the Time’

BLACKWELL: “Brian, you said — you’ve told our producers that there is a danger in over criminalizing mishandling of classified information, explain that?”

GREER: “Yes, because of the criminal statutes that are out there that are old and quite vague, almost any mishandling case could potentially be shoehorned into a criminal investigation. But going back to my prior point, because this type of mishandling happens all the time and now it’s become such a political football with all three — last presidential candidates being investigated, I do worry about — while we need to take this all seriously and it needs to be investigated, I do worry about over criminalizing it things that should ultimately be security violations sometimes. Those should be handled typically by — if you’re a federal government employee - being disciplined or fired, but launching these full investigations that become political footballs is dangerous because it can disincentivize people from serving in the federal government. We want it — but we do want to incentivize them again to do the right thing, which is report it when it happens and not to do the wrong thing, which is to conceal and obstruct, which is what Trump did.”
