Classified Documents At Mike Pence's Home!

Pence face heat for classified documents.

President Joe Biden, Washed Up 45 and now former vice president Mike Pence.

Calamity for Republicans. What will they find outrage at today?

Likely Biden. Because they refuse to deal with Jan. 6, 2021, gun violence and political extremism. They believe it hurts their chances in 2024. So why not have the country worry about inflation, high gas prices, the border, crime, critical race theory, groomers, protecting unborn fetuses, radical Islam, Antifa, transgender sports, cancel culture and big tech.   

Republicans have singled out Biden for the classified documents and so far have no intentions of investigating the former president and former vice president.

They are under fire for having classified documents at their properties. Biden and Pence have cooperated with authorities. Washed Up 45 refused to do so, had his Mar-a-Lago resort searched, tried to get an inexperienced federal judge to stop the investigation, forced a special master, had an appeals court flat out tell the inexperienced judge that her decision was stupid and is under federal watch for all of this.

With all three of them considering a bid in 2024, it does put their trust in question. 

Regardless, it is Biden 2024. 

I refuse to back any of these extremists in the Republican Party.

Classified documents were found in Pence’s Indiana home last week, his lawyer told the National Archives in a letter — the latest in a string of discoveries of confidential information in private residences.

The records “appear to be a small number of documents bearing classified markings that were inadvertently boxed and transported to the personal home of the former vice president at the end of the last administration,” Pence’s lawyer, Greg Jacob, wrote in the letter shared with The Associated Press.

He said that Pence “engaged outside counsel, with experience in handling classified documents, to review records stored in his personal home after it became public that documents with classified markings were found in President Joe Biden’s Wilmington residence.

The Justice Department already is using special counsels to investigate the presence of documents with classification markings taken from the Florida estate of the former president and from Biden’s home and former Washington office. The department says roughly 300 documents marked classified, including at the top-secret level, were taken from Mar-a-Lago, and officials are trying to determine whether Washed Up 45 or anyone else should be charged with illegal possession of those records or with trying to obstruct the months-long criminal investigation.

Pence’s lawyer said in his letter that the former vice president “was unaware of the existence of sensitive or classified documents at his personal residence” and “understands the high importance of protecting sensitive and classified information and stands ready and willing to cooperate fully with the National Archives and any appropriate inquiry.”

Jacob said that Pence immediately secured the documents that were discovered in a locked safe. And according to a follow-up letter from the lawyer dated Jan. 22, FBI agents visited Pence’s residence to collect the documents.

A Justice Department spokesman declined to comment Tuesday, and a lawyer for Pence did not immediately respond to an email seeking elaboration.

Pence told the Associated Press in August that he did not take any classified information with him when he left office.

Asked directly if he had retained any such information, he said, “No, not to my knowledge.”

In a January interview with Fox Business, Pence described a “very formal process” used by his office to handle classified information as well as the steps taken by his lawyers to ensure none was taken with him.

“Before we left the White House, the attorneys on my staff went through all the documents at both the White House and our offices there and at the vice president’s residence to ensure that any documents that needed to be turned over to the National Archives, including classified documents, were turned over. So we went through a very careful process in that regard,” Pence said.
