in another classified documents case, the justice department has just closed its investigation into the possible mishandling of classified documents found at former vice president mike pence s house. they say they won t bring any charges. what did you think of the pace of this? some people have said, why did it take so long, others are suggesting it moved quickly. what was your reaction to the decision and the timing? i think the decision was correct and i think the timing was fine. these cases take some time. the public always wants everything immediately, but as a prosecutor you want to make sure that all ts are crossed and is are dotted before you make a final pronouncement. and i think they moved with good pace on this case and i m interested to see how it moves with respect to the biden possession of documents. i would think that that case should also be closed pretty quickly and we re waiting on that timeline. speaking of, there s also the
special counsel, rob herr, investigating biden s handling of classified documents. but of course there are some differences between the pence case and the biden case and the trump case. i mean, how do you see these cases comparatively? i think we can take the pence one out of the question. there are some similarities, but for the most part, the trump one is a completely different animal. exactly. pence and biden seem to have mishandled documents, meaning they were in possession of classified documents they shouldn t have been in possession of. they both acknowledged that and returned the documents or allowed for searches of those documents. essentially saying mea culpa and i m happy to cooperate. trump, on the other hand, has not cooperated and has no regret about what he s done, and it seems that he still adheres to the notion, the false notion, that these documents are his, that he s entitled to them, and that he will do with them as he chooses. and, remember, one of the things

Republicans stamped a bull s-eye on Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas when they took the House in January, but those long-threatened impeachment efforts have died off in recent weeks as the party pivots to legislating.
anytime there is a deviants in regards to security protocols that should be taken seriously, it should be investigated. what i find interesting is that republicans who have defended trump after he literally stole classified documents refused to turn them over, lied about having. the made up some story about how he declassified them. hard to have his stuff raided in order for those documents to be found. are now only interested in investigating biden. katie, house and senate republicans on key committees have either pledged to overlapping probes to the mishandling of these classified documents. this is a legal battle, which biden was really not expecting just a week ago and president biden wasn t mexico for that summit we saw with the leaders of canada and mexico.
