8. We should remember Pence and Biden were both Vice President when the transgressions occurred.

Six pages with classified markings from Biden’s time as vice president were found by his attorneys in 2022 at his former DC office and his Delaware home. They were immediately handed over to the Justice Department. A week after Garland appointed a special counsel to investigate Biden’s handling of these classified documents, Pence asked an attorney to review four boxes of documents stored in his Indiana home. Pence's lawyer discovered about a dozen classified documents and these were turned over to the FBI.

It is perhaps a small distinction, but the media is reporting that "President Biden" mishandled classified documents, directly comparing it to Trump taking over 300 classified documents, some at the top secret level, when he left the presidency. And Trump's staff didn't discover these documents and willingly hand them over, he refused to return the documents even after numerous requests, and the FBI ultimately had to raid his home to retrieve them.
