Why is all these top secret stuff printable and portable? Has anyone in Intelligence heard of password protected time-stamped expiring PDFs?
It's the super secret classified Wonderbread recipe! >

How else was Mike supposed to know the 11 Herbs and Spices that needed to go into Mar-A-Lago’s “original chicken recipe”? >

He stopped reading at the second one. Pepper is the devil's spice. >

“Spice? No thank you, I’m not catholic.” >

“Mike Pence, why are you wearing a suite in the shower?!”
“Because, I’m not married to the water!” >

“I shower with Mother present.” >

That actually made me snort. Well done. 
(Track 4 of “Synchronicity” plays in the background) >

We really need changes in how these documents are handled and stored, this is ridiculous at this point. >

Agreed. Government employees get trained on this stuff. I know there is the need to sometimes take these documents home. But seriously, for high ranking officials, you think they would have a specific team of people to go through their residences and such. >

Don’t they have some sort of sign out list for documents? I wouldn’t think you can just leave with classified documents and have no paper trail. >

I wouldn't think you could be present for,  and vocally support sedition and overthrowing the U.S. elections and still get to be in Congress and the Senate and yet here we are.  It appears we have some security holes in our system. >

“I dIdN’t ReAlIzE vIcE pReSiDeNtS cOuLd DeClAsSiFy DoCuMeNtS!” - things conservatives used to say but no longer will say >

Trump would have declassified the documents with his mind if Pence would have just overturned the election >

“The libs tried to impeach Trump and make Pence president so they wanted him to be able to declassify documents!” >

Okay, we get it.  A lot of people have classified information that shouldn't.  That's not the problem, though.
The problem is that we have an ex-president who purposely took boxes upon boxes of the most highly classified information, hid it in a high traffic golf resort, lied about having the documents, and continued to bluster and lie until the DOJ was forced to raid the resort to get the boxes and boxes of information back.
I'm 100% in favor of letting a special investigator delve into why both Biden and Pence have classified documents, but let's not lose the bigger picture on this.
We must investigate trump and prosecute him if it's found he broke the law by taking classified information purposely and/or sold/gave that information to someone else. >

Classified documents for you! And you! And you! And fuck it!! You as well!! Everyone gets classified documents!! It’s a classified document giveaway party!! >

The key point is who was refusing to return them and was trying to sell the information? >

I completely agree with you. At this point though I won’t be surprised if every President and their VP in the last like 20 years has some at home. >

Except Dan Quayle. Because he can’t read. >

What a potatoe. >

Jeez, at this point I should check around my place to see if there are any Classified Documents.
EDIT:  I didn't have any classified documents, but my dog seems to have a small trove.  Crikey, it's everywhere! >

That popping sound you're hearing is the sound of Republican head's exploding. >

That would require them to have a single ounce of self awareness, which they don't have. >

What the fuck, did M. Night Shyamalan write this shit? >

With Charlie Brooker and Rod Serling, yes. >

These breaches point to a larger, systemic, problem with how classified documents are handled by elected officials. I imagine there are a bunch of Congressmen and Senators with classified documents in their home offices.  It may be nothing nefarious, but really sloppy handling. >

Perhaps over classification is also an issue? A bit of A and a bit of B. >

Over classification is definitely an issue. There's a lot of documents that are classified from the start because they touch on an issue that's important right now, but not important after the fact.
Stuff like a travel itinerary for President/VP/cabinet would be classified on creation due to the sensitive nature, but if it crops up a year later in a cabinet, it's largely irrelevant except that it's still classified and thus technically represents a mishandling of classified documents. >

Mother will not be happy when she hears about this. >

Republicans are silent on this. >

I don't see how this helps Trump, like some people are saying.
if I murder someone, will the cops go easy on me if I mention that other people have murdered folks too? >

If the cops are republicans and you're their president, yes. >

At this point I think that any out going President or Vice president should just have to spend 2 years in jail by default just to cover all of their bases. >

Obama's lawyers are now on heightened alert....he's next. >

I heard a comedian joking and doing a Carter impression like “c’mon Rosalynn! We gotta burn these documents about the hostage crisis!” >

What's the betting in the next few days the orange one says something along the lines of "its fine I declassified them for him by thinking about it" >

Now we have Biden, Trump and pence >

Bet every living President and VP is going to be cleaning out their attics and garages this weekend.  I'd wager they all have a least a few classified documents. >

Wouldn’t be surprised if they searched any politicians home and found stuff they weren’t supposed to have. >

Maybe we should have a short amnesty to encourage the rest of the children to turn in their's. "I'm going to turn around and whoever has the classified documents needs to put it on my desk." >

It should force Jim Jordan to be more inclusive on his investigation and not just Biden.  The whole process of voluntary compliance with returning documents doesn’t work.   It’s not a Republican or Democratic issue. >

Trumps defense team:  see,  EVERYONE does it. >

So they all have it? they do get training on how to handle this stuff and aides to help. Guess it’s not enough. >

It sure seems like people are playing fast and loose with classified documents. 
Maybe it's time for a different approach; something other than just handing out printouts and hoping for the best. >

This only helps Trump. It makes it seems so widespread that it's practically benign. Sure, it helps Biden, but honestly everyone this careless needs to be put through the ringer. Though I suspect the last two are just careless, and Trump was either seeking trophies or looking to sell secrets. But it could be my bias speaking. >

Trump refused to return them and was rumored to be selling them to the highest bidder. Not the same. >

I'm not really making parallels. But if Biden took the heat off of Trump, at least in the eyes of the Trump fence sitters and conservative media, pence is now making the idea of having misfiled classified material look like SOP. 
People will still believe Trump was malicious, and the way Trump handled it is far more revealing towards his motives, but all this does is give the talking heads a bunch of deflection material. Even the Biden people can now deflect on Pence, like Trump people deflected on Biden.
It's just a shit show. Are we going to have another special counsel for Pence? I mean, I guess we need to, to have optics look fair. >

At this point I'm about to check my own closet just to make sure. >

Oh goody! I see we’re “BOTH SIDES!!”-ing again 🙄 >

Do they all just treat classified material so casually or something? >

Yes. Because everything is classified. When that happens, even the small shit creates a mental normalcy.
If you get a hundred classified items a week, most of which is small shit (like schedules and dinner reservations and what kinda coffee to buy), then its hard to keep track of it. >

Which ones do he have? I’m guessing how to pleasure your spouse approved by mom. And of course the super secret location of the vice President bunker just in case your president tries to kill you. He didn’t get that one until after Jan 6th though. >

Does anyone know if classified documents were found at Pence's house? I've been searching the sub but can't find anything about it. /s
Seriously, isn't there an automod which can cut down on all the noise here? (Nothing personal OP, yours was just at the top of my feed!) >

I wonder how many of these documents really needed to be classified.  Keeping things secret is the government's default position, but I can't imagine that anything truly important is just left with the politicians. >

Over classification is a real problem. Nobody really cares if a President keeps his itineraries from office. >

At this stage it feels like everyone and his brother is going to have a Classified Document at home. >

You get a document, you get a document! Wtf is going on, god forbid it is a military member. If so he would be in prison immediately. The class war rages on. >

Jesus. Maybe I should check under my bed just in case some ended up in my house too. Damn things are getting everywhere. >

Looks like this is the VP round! Let’s get Darth Cheney next. >

Breaking news: Classified documents were found in Abraham Lincoln's log cabin. >

Apparently my local library is better at keeping track of documents than the federal government. >

Seriously, do none of these old motherfuckers remember how to use a fireplace? >

RNC: We don’t know who doesn’t want to be there yet. But we will! >

Just some references for his book.  lol
