That is just a staggeringly awful thing to say.

 

Turns out Pence had TS documents as well. About a dozen, as of now.

We should all run around lamenting how terrible this is for Biden.

 

I can't decide how Fox and he MAGAts in Congress will play Pence.
Do they quietly shift back to Biden's Border Crisis or use it beat up Pence ahead of his announcement?

 

The Biden and Pence stories make me wonder if some documents which are otherwise utterly routine are marked classified if the Veep is going to get a copy, just to make him feel he's on the inside when most of the time he's not.

 

Don't we have documents, too, Mother?

 

There is a big problem with things being over classified, often in an effort to protect the people/agency involved.

 

Coming back to Deripaska, it was an associate of his that was backing George Santos.

 

I can almost see an editorial cartoon where the people responsible for packing up offices in DC when a term ends just use any paper(s) at hand to wrap fragile items, like normal people use newspaper, before boxing them up. This is getting ridiculous.
