Not everyone is hiding documents, claiming declassified, and having lawyers tell NA and DoJ there are no other documents.  Not everyone had to be raided to retrieve 300+ documents.
Everyone lately has had a few documents that were handed over without the need to raid anyone.
Totally the same.  Uh-huh.
I'm beginning to think that political people who don't go through the normal vetting process to handle classified information aren't treating it as carefully as people who might lose their job for mishandling it. >

And who get mandatory refresher training twice a year to handle it. And who still continually make mistakes, which is why half the training is telling you what to do when you have spillage. 
Elected officials don't have to apply for clearance either, do they? They just get it automatically? Maybe that's something we should change, too, if my assumption is correct. >

100% assume they don't do the training. Too "busy". Trump forced the gov to give Kushner a clearance when he couldn't pass normal vetting standards. They play by different rules with no consequences. >

At the banks I have worked for, if you dont pass the tests and quizzes, they dont let you have the power to say open checking accounts. Even if their manager really felt they should be allowed to do it.
Sure it would disqualify tons of people from holding office, but basic reading and retention skills should be a job requirement of holding elected or appointed office.
Dont let people too stupid to operate the seashells make big important decisions >

That's what elections are supposed to be. The problem is that a third of the population thinks the other side of the fence are baby eating lizard people and will gladly vote for someone who failed high school rather than someone with a reasonable grasp of the issues but a slightly different opinion on who should be allowed to have sex with whom. >

During the American Revolution, one third supported the crown and one third supported the revolution and one third had no opinion.  
“In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.”
― Mark Twain >

Supporting the crown and supporting the revolution are clear distinctions rooted in reality. Unless of course the crown supporters were solely swayed by stories of the revolutionaries sucking the blood out of victims in the dead of the night and that mr. washignton's wooden dentures were funded by jews. >

It wasn't that extreme but there was definitely propaganda although more for the revolution than against the revolution. Early protests against the British were actually filled with people who were mostly paid to be there.
The thing is prior to the revolution life was actually improving for most colonists. The only group it wasn't improving for were the wealthy land owners and merchants. They didn't like the taxes levied against them and they also didn't like that the crown had begun allowing people to buy directly from British merchants which cut out the colonial middle men. Many of the United States founders were these middle men.
The only issue the common man really had against the British government was that they wouldn't allow them past the proclamation line because of treaties with native tribes.
Personally I'm glad the American revolution happened but it was hella astroturfed at the start. >

The American Revolution could have happened for free if they'd just waited 30 years for Napoleon. >

Or if you'd just waited two centuries, they would've booted you out of the empire after everyone else has already left.
From your friends up north, who only got their constitution repatriated in 1982. >

This like Biden’s deal… not a huge deal and prob speaks to broad classification issues. Seems like they both handled it like any non-insane person would. Imagine it’s more common than we currently know. 
Trump on the other hand…….. >

They are handling it the correctly, but the news cycles of this just muddy the trump handling. Honestly this just makes me roll my eyes and go fuck it every politician handles classified documents incorrectly its a non story anymore. Even though it is a big deal.. >

Agree I’m a little concerned about even “left leaning” news sources muddying the waters with Trump but ultimately if it matters at all with Trump it won’t be political. >

Do you mean the news sources muddying the waters in trumps situation about not wanting to give the papers back to the point that the fbi had to raid his home? >

And the news media would have probably never caught wind of it if Trump didn't alert everyone about it and try and make this a personal attack. This would have been a complete non-story but trump had to make it all about himself. Seeing government agents come and go from an ex presidential residence? nothing out of the ordinary. >

Like when he gave the eulogy recently at Diamond’s funeral, denied knowing Silk, and spoke mostly about himself? >

I'm not American, but why do I got the feeling only Trump hid tons of shit on purpose?
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. >

Because that is the difference here.  Trump had intent and broke more than just the possession law. >

Trump broke a second law in terms of obstruction.  
Intent is irrelevant on the subject of whether you mishandled classified information to begin with. >

Intent is absolutely relevant.  Intent to possess is important when discussing mishandling.  Taking documents with the intent to use not for the role of your job is more than mishandling. >

Actually with the law that was broken, intent means absolutely nothing when it comes to applying it. Maybe we would like intent to matter but it doesn’t. >

Intent matters in the prosecution.  But I think you will keep going back to saying it doesn't.
I think we are done
Have a good day! >

Another lost soul and you are right to not waste your time with them. >

agreed and walked away.. >

It feels important that 435 House members, 100 senators, A President and a Vice President aren’t vetted by usual standards for a security clearance.  537 people at any given time.  Elected officials should absolutely have access to information required to do their job, but if I have to sit through the same sexual harassment and micro-aggression e-learning courses each year, these fucks need to spend some damn time taking mandatory classes about handling documents. >

Think they should be vetted very thoroughly before running for election. I'm playing loose with my words here but in theory, the masses could elect anyone. How do we know that person is trustworthy to handle important information? >

We don’t even know if George Santos is eligible to be a House member. In particular, it’s not clear that he’s even been a US citizen for 7 years, which is required. >

Search every living President, every congressional person, and all Supreme Court justices. >

Supreme Court Justices leak their documents. >

Likely at least one former president does as well. >

one former president might do more than leak them. >

One current president has already sold documents to China and Ukraine so who knows >

So you claim, but I have seen any proof from anyone. >

His documents found in the Penn Biden Center which records have shown received millions in dollars of gifts from foreign nations. I know the evidence isn't directly saying he did but if it walks like a duck. >

No one knows what the docs were.  Sorry thank you for playing. >

Serious question:  When you leave office, why would you ever be like, yeah I want to bring with me a bunch of boxes full of paper documents I'll never look at and store them at my house? >

I imagine this is a combination of the fact that these guys travel a lot, particularly positions like VP, so their staff is generally constantly picking everything up to be moved to AF2 and then wherever they land I imagine some of it comes with as well. With that much shuffling around of documents and then they leave office and just pack everything up I guess? It’s obviously a pretty negligent way of handling things but I’m betting the bulk majority of the ones Biden and Pence have handed over are nothingburger docs that aren’t highly classified or containing anything particularly juicy. It could be daily security briefs, it could be a schedule or their travel itinerary details potentially even if it has security specifics…I wouldn’t rush to judgement until we hear more. I think both cases are quite different from what Trump did, still negligent AF but I doubt malice. >

At this point I’m wondering who hasn’t got classified documents floating around >

I just checked my car and found a couple, which is weird because I’m just a regular dude. >

I found one in my HelloFresh (not sponsored) recipe one time and just chucked it in the trash. >

I shit one out the other day >

Former vice president Mike Pence’s lawyer turned over a dozen classified records over to the FBI after they were found at the former vice president’s home, CNN reported.
This article is not behind a paywall, but we welcome you to register for free or hit 'I'll try later' if you don't want to right now. >

They were turned in like they were supposed to be. >

Seriously I suspect if they searched most elected officials with top secret clearance, they would likely find documents.  It’s not like our elected officials follow policies and procedures or act in ethical ways.  It’s like they get points for playing dirty and cheating. >

I do understand why politicians take classified documents to their homes… At least he did the right thing, informed the FBI and turned them over, like Biden. Unlike the orange troll.
Though, the archives need to strengthen its laws and stop politicians from taking any classified documents outside of secure government facilities. This is getting ridiculous. >

Anybody else think this and the Biden story were leaked purposefully to 'innoculate' Trump? 'See, it's normal! All ex President's and VP's do it!' I wouldn't be very surprised at this point to hear about classified documents turning up in Jimmy Carter's bureau drawer. >

Boudoir photographs of Lindsey Graham are not classified documents, so long as mother doesn’t see them. >

Welp, breakfast is officially over… >

Mother’s gonna be So mad.
Seriously though, how do you not keep track of these at all? Like isn;t there a system where you fill out even a single form, I mean I never put anything in my closet when I checked out dissertations and papers form the the college research library, I always had the due date and fines hanging over my head. >

Classified stuff is a little different, anything created from classified source material is also classified. 
If you jot a note down from a meeting and put it in your desk to reference later, that’s mishandling classified info if the meeting is classified. It’s fine while you’re the VP/president, but once you lose that clearance it’s no longer fine. Not saying this is exactly what happened but just an example.
Sounds easy to avoid in one off instances, but imagine your in a position where your having these meetings, files and convos 24/7 for 4 years straight. It seems almost bound to happen at some point.
Not trying to excuse it, but there’s definitely a reason it keeps happening. >

To be fair, those notes need to be secured properly. >

Can we please investigate every living President and Vice President for this. From Potatoe misspelling Dan Quayle, to Habitat for Humanity Jimmy Carter. >

Why? Unless there is some suspected criminal activity, this is really a non issue.
Just request everyone check their records and turn anything they shouldn’t have in. >

I guarantee that every past president and VP is working to make sure they don't have any classified docs they shouldn't have. It was Pence's own attorneys who found the docs and I'm sure he's the one who directed them to search for them.
There's already a process on the books for returning classified docs. Folks are following the process (except for Trump who vehemently denied it even after they were found...) >

At this point I'm starting to wonder if I have classified documents at my house too. >

LOCK HER UP! /s >

Oprah: “You get a classified document! And YOU get a classified document! YOU ALL get classified documents!!!” >

whoopsies!    Seems like the shorter list will be who DOESN'T have classified documents

He'll probably lie about having some >

Lol now that I would believe… >

I should check my file cabinet to make sure I don’t have any. Makes wonder how secure our security practices really are. >

How do local libraries have better records of who checked out books and when those books are due back? >

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. >

The training tends to be a joke. The lack of consequences is the problem. As the other commenter said, real people lose their jobs for honest mistakes and maybe go to jail for extreme carelessness. >

Everyone check their homes. At this rate we all must have classified material lying around. 
This is sadly hilarious. >

I think this is a ploy to weaken Trump’s own classified document scandal. 
Hey look at all those people with classified documents…no way you can charge me now! >

I believe this was normal before all the attention was on Trump for lying and refusing to turn them over.  We never heard about it since it was routine to pick up stray documents from prior administrations.  Now, we are hearing every single time they find a document.  It is probably a good idea to make the system better for tracking documents.  They can't keep the President or Vice President from taking documents home, because, who will order them to?  They need to keep track of who has what documents and retrieve them later when they are leaving or out of office. >

Finally, excitement in Indiana >

Difference is the Donald can just look at something and declassify it. >

He can just think about it and it’s declassified! >

It's the National Archives that need to be investigated. There obviously isn't a working system in place to track and control classified material. >

They’re underfunded and understaffed for the amount of documents that they archive, and you know a House under GOP control isn’t going to allocate more money to them. >

Oh those? I declassified them already. >

I do not recall but Bill Clinton could tell you. >

Search them all.
Every former Pres/VP, every former cabinet member, every current and former congress member.
I'm sure in 99% of cases it'll be carelessness, forgetfulness, some intern not knowing what they're doing... the sheer volume of files these people deal with guarantees that occasionally something will go missing.
But we'll know who's careless and who's malevolent based on how they respond. Will they turn things over willingly like Biden and Pence, or will they lie and try to hide the documents and make excuses and whine and cry and shit themselves like Diaper Don? >

The fireplaces are up and burning at the Bush and Clinton households >

Ite BBQ season in Washington! >

This isn’t uncommon. What is uncommon is the government needing to raid your property to get it back. >

I bet there is smoke coming from so many wealthy houses as people rush to burn documents before the FBI shows up. >

Sounds like these docs are as easy to keep track of as my ever expansive pile of post-its. >

Tag! You’re it! >

I'm starting to worry that they are going to find classified documents at my nana's >

I'm looking forward to the excuses Republicans use to explain why Biden's situation is treason and how Pence's situation is no big deal. I hope journalists put pressure on Republicans for when they do it, but I'm not going to hold my breath that journalists will. >

As long has he turns them over...but serious, can we please stop having high ranking politicians hold classified documents for 1 day? >

Here we go!! >

Feels like there should a Top Secret document audit of those in and out of power.
Probably go as well as the DoD audit. >

yes see you're supposed to return the documents if they are found; Pence and Biden are doing that, and Trump did not do that.  this is the difference that really matters. >

Did he think about declassifying them, because that's all he needed to do >

So everyone’s doing it >

All this is telling me is the US government does a shitty job controlling classified material.  I bet if they go through all the senators offices/homes they will find classified crap. >

Who cares? Republicans are above the law >

lol, he has the perfect face. >

I'm out in the cold again...  lol >

Could all old shitty politicians from years yonder please just clean out their frickin garages and attics and save us all the trouble of having to investigate the classified shit you hoarded. Like really I’m done. How is it I get body searched entering  a public building in eastbumblefuck and all of you all can’t help but store nuclear secrets like they’re 20 year old Christmas decorations. >

Only he who does not have classified paperwork at their domicile should cast the first stone. >

I believe it’s a very common thing for President and Vice President too accidentally take both classified and unclassified documents with them when they leave office cause when you are done you and your staff take everything so the new administration can take over quickly. >

At which point is this just some political theater designed to obscure some truth? >

Liar or incompetent?  Only two choices for this hypocrite >

Exactly.  President's and VP's having low-level (or even accidentally higher-level) classified documents at their places of residence isn't necessarily unusual or even bad (those places are guarded by USSS after all), what's bad is when those documents are found they are not immediately returned to the gov't and further searches aren't done.  Trump failed to return documents after being notified and refused further searches until his hand was forced. >

And queue the lack of republicans complaining about it in 3…2…1.. >

I’m officially tired of this story… >

I'm not, I'm pissed that the indictments arent coming. >

I agree about indictments.
However, some old, irrelevant documents people didn’t even know they had *and are more than happy to return* is a lot less important to me than the republicans trying to add a 30% sales tax to EVERYTHING.
Which is what they’re trying to do right now. >

Yeah... but here's the thing, I think rule of law is more important than any individual politician.  I don't think Pence or Biden had intent to commit a crime, but instead engaged in negligent handling of those old "irrelevant" (we don't know what's in them... it's secret) classified documents.
Most of those Republicans should have been barred from office for refusing to impeach Trump over Jan 6th.  The 14th amendment should have been applied to anyone who participated in the insurrection or its cover up.  We wouldn't be dealing with this national sales tax nonsense (which will never get passed through the legislative branch) if democrats treated these fascist fucks like the traitors they are.  Instead of trying to make an example of the Jan six rioters, prosecutors and our AG keep dragging their feet, while these judges keep handing out sentences for less time than a black man smoking a joint in his own home gets. >

... Democrats aren't treating the insurrectionists seriously enough? How do you figure? I mean, I can understand frustration with Biden's Justice Dept., but that's (hopefully) tactical. But Democrats in general ...? >

Yes, the 14th amendment applies, giving aid and comfort to insurrectionists bars a person from holding public office except where a thirds vote by congress rescinds that impediment... Democrats refuse to follow the constitution when they didn't demand a two thirds vote before seating those Republicans who didn't vote for impeachment.  This isnt a case of both sides are the same, its more the drunk abusive dad and the enabling mom who let's the abuse continue for the sake of "family" unity.  The abusive Dad is the problem, but the enabling mom is still shity. >

I'm guessing with no chance of success it was just a calculation about how it would be interpreted. Which I agree is not what they should be thinking about; I'm all for principled action even if you know you won't prevail. Abusive dad, very physically weak mom, mebbe... >

Ok, I think I'm seeing a trend here. Who's next? >

My money would be on Pelosi, but maybe a surprise like Al Gore. >

Also it’s definitely Cheney but everyone is too scared of being shot to go check >

Oh he’s probably got a vault full. Good call! >

If nothing else Pence did save our democracy from the angry orange aholes supporters. Clearly he had selfish reasons though. >

Why is this all coming out now? >

Probably because we’re witnessing policy being made by necessity. One guy gets caught doing something flagrantly and now everyone else is going to get a refresher course on doing it negligently. >

Just remember if it were you or I and 99.99999% of everyone else here, they’d throw us in prison..but your name doesn’t end with Trump, Biden or Pence. >

They really wouldn't.
Pretty much every case where someone was locked up, they had a willfullnes issue, not just unintentionally having classified documents.
There is a difference. >

I think it’s time for the justice department to begin investigating everyone with access to classified information. Senate intelligence committee. All prior presidents and VPs. I don’t trust any of them. I would have the FBI treat it as counterintelligence threat and investigate it properly and regularly vet and re-vet these idiots. >

What a surprise…. A bunch of career politicians, that really only care for power and influence, don’t follow their own rules! The older I get the more I lose faith in our government…. It seems like the vast majority of our leaders are corrupt. >

Aww shit here we go again… >

Are they giving them away in swag bags for the state of the union after-party? >

So much for our illustrious, "impenetrable" classified system. Maybe its time for a revamp? >

they should check G. Bush house >

I wish I could have sensitive documents in my home. >

Special prosecutor needed soon
Fox: it’s no big deal >

I imagine everyone who ever worked at a high level in the WH is scrambling to make sure they don’t have anything. Except the Clintons, who you know will be the only ones that already did that. >

well, well, well, how the turntables. >

Wonder what theyre looking for. >

Pence just has to say that the files were "cool keepsakes" that were declassified by Trump thinking about it and were planted there by the FBI when they were looking for Hillary Clinton's emails.
Always try to make a problem look like one that's already been solved! >

Jesus, he looks terrible. “Nothing fucks you like time.” >

This is starting to look like a you problem NARA. >

It’s almost as if this has always been a thing and was never seen as a big deal until this year. 
I’ve also heard many reporters say the level at which things are classified is ridiculous and that contributes to the fact they’re finding pretty much every current or former leader improperly possessing them. Apparently things as mundane as directions on how to use lunch vouchers as an employee of the CIA are marked classified. >

Classified documents found in my home >

Did mother approve? >

she probably packed them. >

Y'all should go over to FOX news and watch the spin... >

I just go ask for classified documents.  Beats buying toilet paper. >

good lord. just raid all of the politicians houses already and let’s end this hamster wheel of news resolved. 
also maybe like lets turn this back to the DOJ, CIA, FBI, etc. is anybody clean? >

Just fucking lounge in the pool and watch your grandkids grow up for fucks sake. >

Anyone searched Jimmy Carter’s place yet >

Oh this is hilarious now… LOL. >

This is why Carter is building all those houses. He's got classified docs all over the place. >

Who found them >

Really? I wonder how’s the Republicans are going to spin this? They’ll do one or two things. Make this out worst than what it is …or make sure it appears it’s the worst thing any Republican ever done…. That’s not possible by anybodies standard. >

We might as well use these documents for paper mache, and snow flake cutting at this point since everyone seems to have some stacheed somewhere. >

I was cleaning out my attic last weekend, and wouldn't you believe it, I found some classified government documents!!! It really can happen to anyone. >

Yeah, but that was WWI classified. >

Now it’s a pattern. No one is held accountable anyway so whatever.. >

You know I'm not exactly a conspiracy theorist (I am. Like pretty bad in some cases lol) but does this not seem fishy? Like all the people that the long term politicians at the top wouldn't want in the running are now having classified docs just suddenly appear in their homes in the dumbest of places? Maybe it's just me lol. >

None of these people have actually managed documents in years. In fact, they don't do any admin work.  They are staffed.  It would be like if you came home every day to cook dinner and all the ingredients are prepped and all you do is come in, put them in the pan and cook it.  Then when your done, people come back and clean everything up for you.  Here, people come in, hand them stuff to read and then either they hand them back or it ends up in a pile on their desk that someone else is supposed to manage.  When they go on vacation or go home, they are still getting briefings.  When VP Biden or Pence is at home in Delaware/Indiana, they still get the Presidential Daily Brief every single day and if there isn't staff on hand to tidy everything up it goes into a corner. >

... seriously, don't they have enough space in their file cabinets in their work offices to fit these documents in?
Or did they forget to remove the baby lock off of Trump's locker? >

Of course he would live in Indiana… >

K, do something about it.. oh wait... you are incompetent >

A local county library does a better job of knowing who has checked out a book, and whether or not it has been returned than the National Archives can track who is in possession of highly classified documents?
I think Trump stole the classified stuff whereas Biden and Pence committed acts of neglect in the failure to return documents. >

Fuckin lol >

Whoopsies >

Has anyone checked Stormy Daniels' underwear drawer for classified documents? >

Lock him up!! >

This is amazing. Did Oprah hand out documents to everyone and I missed it?!? >

everyone turns to look at Obama
"Well?..." >

Now I am imaging Mike Pence shares the same cell with Trump—I know it is not gonna to happen but it is fun to think about it. >

In the words of Ro Khana this can be prevented if the broken system of classified document handling is reformed. >

It’s almost like they all are profiting off classified information. >

Bet tuppence they find some at Dan quayles mañana >

Sounds like it is harder to sign out a library book than a classified document. >

National archive is some shit >

At this point, let’s just assume that all politicians take classified documents home. They should know better. >

Is Oprah giving out classified documents? >

And there will be no consequences. >

Lock him in next to Trump cell >

I did not have sexual relations w the documents >

This is turning into a whitewash to protect Trump from being harshly prosecuted for his documents crimes.  To protect the “office” … >

I've heard this one before... >

Trump declassified them >

I get the feeling everyone is being outed for this so trump can get off scot free “see everyone else had done it” will be what gets him off even if he did treasonous things with the docs. 
Trump will never see a criminal charge and it makes me insanely angry. >

So I propose that anyone who had a classified document in their homes or offices be disqualified from running for President. >

AwwShitHereWeGoAgain.jpg >

Lock him up boys. >

Alright, fuck it. Since everyone else is doing it…I have a few classified documents at my house too. I keep mine on the fridge next to our shopping list and sometimes when I go grocery shopping I’ll be like, “Where’s the enriched uranium…dammit! Brought the wrong list again!” And I have a chuckle in the cereal isle. Fun times. >

Don’t they mean couch? I thought he was couch surfing, to hide from all the people who called him a traitor?? >

"You get classified documents...and you get classified documents...EVERYONE GETS CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS..."

I am only interested in two things:


I hope this causes the government to reevaluate its processes of classification and how classified documents are handled.


Was Pence one of the jackasses sounding off on Biden about the docs found at his properties? >

Ok garland, cough up another special prosecutor. And you’d better have a few more ready for Kamala, and any other former white house presidential contenders for 2024. >

How will MTG spin this one? >

I have seen better tracking at my local library. Wtf is going on >

There needs to be some consequences for those servicemembers who handle and transport these documents. Someone isn’t doing their job. Many someones. >

Caught white-handed. >

Now they are just fucking with us right? >

Let’s see what happens when regular Joe Smith has some of these documents in their house…
he is arrested and labeled a terrorist, sent to a black hole to rot for 30 years. >

Can I offer a suggestion? Library cards. You check out classified stuff with a library card. Late fees are assessed at 1m per day per document. >

Someone please tell me what to think. Are we ok with this or not? It's hard to keep track :( >

Time to check Obama’s house. Biden stole him while he was his vice president. Pence was Trumps. This might’ve been going on for a long time. Let’s check the Clintons and the Bushs as well. >

“Is this treason?” —Faux Nooz host and Trump sycophant María Batshitaromo >

At this point it might be easier to list the people who DON’T have classified material at their homes. >

Holy shit, this is just getting absurd.
Also, it would be great if we could stop reporting on this when everyone involved is actually following the correct process and turning them over right away.  This shouldn't have been news. >

Isn't the correct process to not have them? >

Sure, but the policies and laws in place are reasonably understanding of the fact that when you work at the top level of government for many years getting briefings and reports 24x7, sometimes things don't go 100% according to plan.  
So the OTHER correct process is to contact the national archive and the FBI when you become aware that you have documents you shouldn't and they come get them.  Which is what happened here. 
Is the fact that this is clearly a very common problem bad for national security?  Yes. Should we fix it?  Also yes.  But did Pence and Biden actually do a thing that is bad and needs to be prosecuted?  Doesn't look like it. 
Though I would be happy to see Trump and Biden and Pence investigated to see if any of them broke the law and if they did, I'm happy for them to be prosecuted whether I voted for them or not. 
It's just worth bearing in mind that the actual crime here isn't having documents, it's willful retention. >

For fucks sake >

Great.  Am I the only idiot in this country without any classified documents? >

You know at some point you have to wonder if it's the system that's the issue.  This is now the third person who has been caught with classified documents at home.   At this point there needs to be an investigation into how this exactly happened because something is broke.
Doesn't excuse Trump, Biden or Pence but it keeps happening. >

This is a bit off topic, but I work with a bunch of conservatives. Guess what they've been talking about since this dropped?
Bidens documents. I should ask if they heard about trumps or pence having documents because before this, they literally never cared about classified documents >

VP Harris burns all residences to the ground before they get her too >

This isn’t a security clearance vetting issue. This is an upholding policy issue. From those who are handling classified material to those who control it. Whenever I had a hard document, it had to be signed out, and signed back in. Digital info, we had to document destruction. These problems seem to be a very complacent attitude towards classified information, at least for Pence and Biden. Most likely by staffers, who have convinced the people at the administrative issuing level that expediency is more important than security. Everyone, top down, needs to be held accountable and have remedial instruction on the procedures for handling classified information. Accountability shouldn’t include prison sentences, but maybe some sort of note in their file with the NSA and a strong fine. >

I don't understand what the problem is. 
Mother probably kept them like most Mom's keep their kids old report card and school papers. >

Maybe the real classified documents were the friends we made along the way >

You know how in football, a holding penalty could be called on every single play? That is the political equivalent to this. The question is when do you call it? I’d say if you’re obstructing an investigation, delaying the hand over of documents, or wiping computer servers, that is a good time to “call the penalty”. >

Am I the only one who is asking why we should have information that’s restricted by the government? Should we have clandestine operations overseas undermining other government’s sovereignty? If these politicians aren’t going to be punished for having classified documents in their homes, we should get to know what the documents are >

Was Mother sitting on them? >

I want to add “What about a Hillary Clinton’s emails and Hunter Baden’s laptop?!?!”
Thank you >

How convenient.  Had to have something to cover up the Biden discovery… now what?  Go raid Nancy’s and Kamala’s house and every member of Congress. >

How convenient, we are just gonna forget about Trump? Lmao >

Nahhh.  It started with Trump but guess what.  EVERYONE IS DOING IT.  Now what
