Ok here’s the real difference between Magoo and Trump. Trump was and is making an argument based on the Presidential Records Act and his right to declare any of the documents as personal and he is saying he declassified them which he had the authority to do and therefore there is no problem with classified info. And btw this is also still under litigation and so the gnashing of teeth on the left is just political theater.

Magoo has not claimed that he declassified anything nor that these were personal records. I am too lazy to look up if the VP is covered by the Presidential Records Act but he hasn’t claimed so and given that he is pretending that he has no idea how these documents got into his closet more than a year after he left office he has effectively waived his right to claim otherwise in the future.

And just to make matters worse, another bunch was found today!
