Usually when documents are found unsecured in senior political types. The staff just secures it. In the case of Biden and Pence, the files were discovered and turned in to the authorities. The authorities are happy to write it off as inadvertent retention. A mistake.
As they would have done with Trump had he not committed obstruction of justice etc.
Yep. Ironically trumpers should be pissed at Trump. At the very least it turns off a few more independents and simply because Trump was selfish and wanted the docs for his himself for whatever reason.It would be as if you brought the work keys home. You discover them in your pocket and call work to let the night shift know you have them. They can either have you come and return them, send someone to recover them, or tell you to bring them back in the morning.
You made a mistake. A human mistake. And you admitted to the mistake. A mistake is easy to forgive when you consider that we all make them.
But a mistake requires honesty and seeking to rectify. You can say the files were inadvertently included in boxes by mistake. You can say that if you call and admit the mistake when you discover them. You can’t claim that if you stick the files in your socks to sneak them out. And you can’t claim that if you shuffle them and hide them from a Lawyer seeking to comply with a Subpoena.
Then like the documents in the socks it becomes a question of intentionally doing something wrong.
A Presidential Example. No evidence has ever existed that Nixon ordered the break in of the DNC at the Watergate Hotel. However Nixon did order the coverup and withholding of evidence.
