So those documents were moved there from somewhere else. It can’t be claimed that an overburdened vice presidential staff just dumped the boxes there after Biden left office. Where did they come from? Who moved them? Why did they think those particular documents belonged in the Penn Biden Center rather than wherever they were housed before? Why didn’t anyone report these earlier?
Verrrrrrrry Interrrrrrresting

If this was the result of a staffer chucking things into boxes without looking too closely, then it is negligence, that's for sure - but maybe not a crime.
If he knew these documents were there, then (depending on classification) it could be a much different story.
The question is really whether this amounts to "gross negligence." On the whole, I think we are getting to the point where it is hard to argue that it's not. The corvette revelation alone is an amazing revelation.

Chucking things in boxes was an excuse for harried staffers throwing everything into boxes and taking them to Joe's basement as Mike Pence's team kicked them out of the office. The documents found their way to this office two years later. Someone decided that these documents belonged there, rather than where they had been before.
The timing of the revelations is also a problem. I think it is pretty transparent that they kept the discovery secret because of the election. But, when that initial discovery was reported upon, the subsequent discovery in Joe's garage had already happened a month before. Why the administration would admit the November discovery, and not mention the subsequent December discovery at the same time is mind boggling. The drip, drip, drip of revelations just makes the whole thing more suspicious.
They likely would have missed that important detail.
