I found a few George Santos gave me back when he was a Mossad assassin.

Turns out Santos had a license to slay!
Pence wrote classified on some folders and turned himself in. He hates feeling left out. >

Well, if presidents can declassify documents just by thinking it, then surely vice presidents can classify them by thought, right? >

Pence just had to get permission from Mother first >

Skinnnerrrr...... >

Mmmm....steamed hams! >

Genuine question: How common is it to find these kind of document outside of their office? My understanding was that it's pretty common, since it's paper after all. But it became a big deal because Trump refused to return it. 
So how common is it and would this have gone non-controversially had Trump just returned it when they asked for it? >


But it became a big deal because Trump refused to return it.

And the contents of the documents. If he had only stole ceremonial stuff it might not have ever become an issue. Trump stole information that likely lead to the deaths of US human assets. I'm willing to bet that the level of info available to the VP is not equal to the sitting President.
Tldr: Trump stole info that probably got people killed. It was never simply that he did what everyone else did. He ALWAYS does the worst possible version. >

Trump's problem is less that he had the documents, and more that he refused to return them, stonewalled recovery, and hid them, thus forcing the DoJ to get a warrant and carry out a serch to get them back.
If his response had been "Oops, sorry. Here, have them all back." like Biden and now Pence have done, it wouldn't have been a story at all. >

No. The content mattered too. National Archives were actively looking for the documents because they were missing and important. 
Biden, Pence… they didn’t even notice the documents were missing. >

Maybe I've missed the reporting, but as far as I've seen, they didn't know everything that he had, or even what he may still have, if there's anything that wasn't recovered in the MAL search. Rather, they knew that he had made off with a number of high-profile items (e.g. the North Korea love letters) and they wanted the known items back, plus assurances by his lawyers that there wasn't anything else. >

I'm guessing this must happen all the time and discovery and returning classified documents wasn't a big deal until a former Presdient living in Florida forced the government to seize them? >

It might be relevant what type of classified documents and their content were taken. The filthy animal is on a whole different level. >

Bonfire this weekend at the Bush ranch in TX >

National Park Service announces classified records found in storage area at Mount Vernon. >

Everyone check your old boxes. >

At this point, I’m willing to bet they’d find classified documents in the home of any politician. >

Exactly. The big issue is whether the FBI had to raid then to get them back. >

Maybe, just maybe all politicians do this and upon leaving office need a DOJ sweep of their homes and offices. 
Or you know, maybe every politician needs a single scope background investigation and a polygraph like every other federal job that handles sensitive info? >

polygraphs are junk science, but a sweep of their materials when they leave office makes sense >

The purpose of the poly isn’t to detect lies.  It’s to see how you react to certain situations.  Most of the time you don’t fail a poly because you “lied” it’s because they scared you into admitting the truth. It’s a social engineering tool that people fall for left and right. But my point still stands if they subject federal employees to it, why aren’t they? >

Yes, I know that. Lots of people know it's junk and they won't fail it, even if they are guilty. Why waste time on junk when other methods are more objective and fair (and would be admissible in court; polygraphs aren't)? >

I 100% agree with you.  I think my original argument is morphing a bit here and I’ll own up to it.  They def have to get rid of the poly for federal employment.  I just want them (congress) to fall under the same standards that federal employees do.  Why would lyin’ George get seated in congress with classified info, while another honest hardworking guy gets bounced from the FBI selection because he was nervous on poly day.   Either get rid of it for all, or subject congress to it before they have access to secrets is all. >

The fly turned him in right? >

Antifa strikes again! >

Fuck it, raid the homes of every living former president and vp >

I found a few George Santos gave me back when he was a Mossad assassin. Project plans and action reports mostly.
