Pence: Frustrated and bewildered by classified documents from Biden

Pence: Discovery of classified documents from Biden’s time as VP ‘incredibly frustrating’

Former Vice President Mike Pence said Tuesday that the discovery of classified documents from President Biden’s time as vice president compared to the FBI’s unprecedented search of former President Trump’s private residence proved a “double standard.”

“It’s just incredibly frustrating to me,” Pence said on the “Hugh Hewitt Show.” “But the original sin here was the massive overreach.”

Trump is under investigation for more than 100 classified documents to his private residence in Mar-a-Lago, which FBI agents executed a search warrant for in August. The search appeared to be the first of its kind, which Pence said was a “massive overreach” by the FBI.

Pence said this search created a standard that the FBI could execute a search warrant at a former president’s personal residence. He also said that the Biden administration should appoint the same special counsel for investigation in Biden’s papers, instead of a U.S. attorney, as they did for Trump.

that the National Archives “negotiated” with TDFG for 10 months (I think) to get the documents back, and that only some of the documents were returned, and that all of that happened before they issued a search warrant? He’s just going to ignore that?

Of course he is, along with all the talking heads at Faux “News”.

BTW I am still highly skeptical about how they just found some classified documents in an
office that President Biden occupied 6+ years ago and BTW part 2 when the Vice President
might have had those documents in his office I'm sure he had the top level security clearances
to have such documents in his possession where he was working.
