A lawyer for former Vice President Mike Pence discovered about a dozen documents marked as classified at Pence's Indiana home last week, and he has turned those classified records over to the FBI, multiple sources familiar with the matter told CNN...The discovery comes after Pence has repeatedly said he did not have any classified documents in his possession.

Marked OT and posted here until a new board is born.

Interesting. Don't know what to say about Pence except he is imo, an okay politician.

I'm beginning to think there are more unclassified documents in the hands of politicians than at the National Archive.

That was a very enlightening article. Lots of "Spillage" going on. Thanks for posting

IMHO, there is far far too much use of secret and classified designations. My feeling is that the overuse is driven mostly by a desire to shield embarrassing info from the taxpayers and citizens rather than real secrets like keeping the plans for the latest stealth bomber out of the hands of the Chi-coms.

I think it's more a case of better safe than sorry. That is, it's simply easier to not try too hard to figure out how classified some material should really be, and to up-classify it for one's own safety in the manner of covering one's arse (or perhaps BHA)!

If he cooperates with investigators than no worries it's no big deal.

If he cooperates all is fine.
