especially when doing the right thing or not is the difference between being not a crime or a crime respectively AND others (like Pence) also have the same errors and also did the right thing, while others (like TFG) did not.

Pence's retention of those documents is a boon to Biden and company because it sharpens the contrast between Biden and TFG in how they behaved. It also eliminates the person best positioned to be the face of the criticism of Biden, his successor in that office.
