The story you shared is a good read and does a great job explaining the difference between being (arguably) negligent handling classified information (Clinton, Biden) and one -intentionally- concealing one's possession of classified information, lying to authorities, etc.
Of course, the people who most need to hear this are also the least likely to listen.
Yeah, it’s a case of “you really shouldn’t handle classified information that way” “Whoops, is this better?” vs. “You really shouldn’t handle classified information that way” “I didn’t! And even if I did (hides box behind back), it would be perfectly OK for me to do! This is all someone else’s fault!”
