Pence's classified documents revelation just made Trump look even worse. (via MaddowBlog)
A 'small number' of classified documents was discovered last week at former Vice President Mike Pence’s Indiana home, according to letters Pence’s counsel sent to the National Archives obtained by NBC News.
It’s important to emphasize that there’s no reason to assume that the former vice president was lying when he said last summer that he hadn’t taken any classified materials when he left office. In fact, it’s fairly easy to believe that Pence simply didn’t know, and the documents were removed accidentally.
It’s not even altogether clear who exactly should be blamed for something like this. As officials prepare to leave office, and overworked aides facing tight deadlines scramble to fill boxes, it stands to reason that accidents will happen — and these accidents should not necessarily be seen as scandalous. There are related questions about over-classification practices being applied to materials that are relatively benign.
