The discovery of classified documents at former Vice President Mike Pence’s home might be a complicated game to re-enforce the efforts of congressional Republicans to coordinate their attack on President Biden’s handling of similar materials from his time as second-in-command.
Pence’s team disclosed Tuesday that his attorneys conducted a search of his Indiana home out of an abundance of caution following news that classified documents were found at Biden’s home and a former Washington, D.C., office he used after leaving the White House in 2017.
While the republicans strategize an unwavering scheme against Biden, it seems as though everyone is beginning to see the truth. Republicans are coming for a revenge; taking the woes of trump’s classified documents issue against Biden; a complicated weaponization of political antics yields no good result to either side.
“And so what became a political problem for Republicans is now a national security problem for the country,” Graham said.
“The bottom line is, I don’t know how this happened. We need to get to the bottom of it,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told reporters Tuesday. “I don’t believe for a minute that Mike Pence is trying to intentionally compromise national security.”
FBI officials took possession of those two boxes on Jan. 19, as well as two other boxes with copies of administration records, Jacob said.
“The additional 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,” Jacob wrote. “Vice President Pence was unaware of the existence of sensitive or classified documents at his personal residence.”
It seemed on Tuesday that both Democrats and Republicans embraced the revelation.
