What exactly would he be guilty of given that the statute of limitations has expired on all Obama administration years?
The issue was never about accidental possession of classified documents. It’s what happened after that. >


Leave him alone!!!

"Focus on ME!!!" >

Trump the type of dude to "WATERGATE WAS NOTHING, HAVE YOU SEEN WHAT THEY FOUND IN MY MARALAGO GARAGE? IT WAS TRUELY THE BEST-WORST AMERICAN POLITICS CURRUPTION, TRUST ME!! THE BEST!!" >

Nobody cares about the shit-gibbon's opinion. >

Some conservatives were arguing (falsely) that the difference between Trump and Biden was that Trump was protected by being president at the time the documents were removed. Pence blows up that argument. >

He probably is but how Pence and his team reacted to the discovery also highlights why Trump isn’t a innocent man. >

Pence may be but Trump certainly isn't >

“Pence is innocent, so I should be too.” >

More than anything else, it sounds like there needs to be better tracking of classified docs across the board so this doesn't happen with anyone. 
It doesn't change the fact that Trump was actively hoarding things that he knew didn't belong to him, and then lied about having them, and then obstructed others from checking.
For Biden and Pence, it was most likely a matter of an aide packing the wrong things into a file box. >

A better process of classifying in general. Countless folks have said there is an over classification problem that leads to this. >

It has been extremely useful to Trump to muddy the waters, which is how he gets away with everything. >

Only dipshits will compare Pence and Biden’s situation as similar to Trump’s. Those folks are a lost cause anyways. They all need to be investigated to see where the processes can be improved. 
Trump thinks they’re his to do whatever he wants with and conspired to lie about not having anymore. >

Not sure Pence will be that thrilled about this, considering the difference in situations. >

Difference in which situations?  
That trump had documents, or that pence having documents takes the pressure off Biden? >

That Trump was the only one trying to keep them and not voluntarily turn them over. Where've you been? >

Why the snide comment?  There are many things the comment could mean.  I asked a valid question.  
It is unfortunate that people are annoyed by someone asking a different person to be clear. >

Because you ignored the biggest difference in all three cases. >

Obama, Bush lawyers combing through files right now lol >

Soon: Lawyers find classified documents in George Washington's home, and what appears to be the rest of the 2nd Amendment that he was keeping as a souvenir... >

Oh, was Pence "holding them for a friend", Donnie? >

From you, dad, I learned it from watching you! >

Pence apparently had some and the Presidential Records Act says he can't retain them without official permission. That doesn't sound innocent, but the DOJ will make the call on criminality.
All three so far knew better, but Trump is the only one that refused to give them back when asked, ignored a GJ subpoena, and then lied about having them. >

Yes. He returned them, didn’t lie about it, and didn’t sell state secrets. >

Projection, Projection, Projection.  He just wants everyone with the same issue from his party to be innocent. >

The only people who are saying Pence isn't are right wing pundits claiming that's what liberals think. >

Is pence taking another one for the team? >

In this case I don't think so. Pence taking one for the team actually helps Biden and hurts Trump. If they didn't find documents with Pence, Trump could have said Biden was guilty of having classified documents. Now Trump can say that but then had to admit Pence is guilty too. Plus, both Pence and Biden returned the documents immediately whereas Trump didn't. >


Earlier on Tuesday, revelations emerged that classified documents had been found at Pence’s Indiana home. Pence attorney Greg Jacob told the National Archives earlier this month that “a small number of documents that could potentially contain sensitive or classified information interspersed throughout the records” had been found in his home and that those documents were later collected by the FBI after the findings were reported to the National Archives.

Yeah, that’s what you’re supposed to do if you find them. Not shove them in to your desk and say I gave back everything. >

What are the chances of this being discussed on r/conservative? >

if anything this will just bolster their "everybody does it so it's fine!" resolve. and then they'll go back to talking about impeaching biden for having classfied documents. >

It should be if everybody does it then we need to fix it. Not make it "fine". >

Mother agrees. Mike is a good boy. >

No, dude your base HATES Pence. Remember that whole thing when you said it was Pence’s fault you got kicked from the presidency because he wouldn’t overturn the election for you? And then you sent a mob to kill him in the Capitol?
Do you think they’d accept that you and Michael are cool now? Pence did a whole press docket expressing his reserved frustration at what you did to him. He is not your ally. >

he hasn't been charged with anything >

getting ahead of a future news cycle perhaps? >

Okay Morbo. Hahaha. >

"However," Trump added "Hang Mike Pence !!!" in a salute to his supporters. >

So you tried to have an innocent man killed two years ago? >

so… now we know he is guilty >

JFC what an absolute shit show this is. So incompetent from the fucking top down. As yourselves how and why are we hearing about this like it’s big news? Because they are absolutely too incompetent and corrupt to arrest Dump for the major crimes he committed. It’s like legal whataboutism. Be cool if we all could do that trick. >

You don’t know that for sure yet. Don’t know that Biden is innocent yet. We know that Trump is guilty for obstruction, but even the extent of his crimes related to the level of classification isn’t entirely known yet.
