OH MOTHER: Guess who also had classified documents in his home?
A dozen documents marked as classified were found last week at former Vice President Joe Biden’s Mike Pence’s home in Indiana by his lawyer, it was reported on Tuesday.
The discovery stands in stark contrast to the lie Pence told CNN when he was asked if he had taken any classified documents from the White House.
“I did not,” Pence responded.

Mother doesn’t like liars, Michael.
A lawyer for Pence told CNN that the former VP had requested a search of his home “out of an abundance of caution” after the Trump and Biden documents scandals, and that he immediately alerted the National Archives, who contacted the DOJ.
Pence has already turned the documents over to the FBI, according to sources, but MAGA Twitter is being oddly silent about it, how weird!
Agents from the FBI’s field office in Indianapolis picked up the classified documents from Pence’s home on Sunday.
On Monday, Pence’s legal team drove the boxes in which the documents had been found back to Washington, DC.
The National Archives will now review the documents for “compliance with the Presidential Records Act,” CNN reported.
MAGA is going to have to come up with something fast to make the distinction between the classified documents found at Pence’s and those found at President Biden’s home in Delaware and other places where he kept a private office.
The ones from Mar-a-Lago are apparently special magic ones that require no other explanation beyond “Because Trump.”
Let’s take the Twitter temperature and see how hot the tea is flowing.

BREAKING: Pence had Dozens of classified documents at his home.
Pence’s defense is that they were unclassified when he took them but Trump classified them with his “mind powers” just “to be a dick”. https://t.co/OlpIIxSyqe
