Woah! Now Mike Pence's Indiana home had a dozen classified documents

It's beginning to feel as if you can walk into a Staples and buy a box of classified documents that belonged to some high ranking government figure. First it was Hillary Clinton [who deleted them], Anthony Weiner's laptop, then there was Trump, followed by Hunter and Joe Biden.

Now there's Mike Pence.

CNN reported Tuesday that about a dozen classified documents were discovered last week at former Vice President Mike Pence's Indiana home.

According to this report, multiple sources familiar with this situation said the FBI and Justice Department's National Security Division have begun a review of the documents, which had been turned over to the FBI by an attorney for Pence. They also want to know how these documents ended up in Pence's home.

A spokesman for the former vice president spoke nothing in response to requests for comment.

Under the federal Presidential Records Act, presidential and vice presidential records must be turned over to the National Archives at the end of each administration. Senators, like Joe Biden was when he snatched his first batch of classified material, have no business holding onto classified documents in the first place.

Anyway, this is a revolting development, as Riley would say, so stand by for more news. [If you understand what I'm referring to here, you're old enough to remember the Quaker Puffed Rice canon in every box while supplies lasted.]
