The bigger issue is that this now a trend, and as written earlier, who else has documents and how far back does it go? This is not a good look on the security of the US that these people (regardless of their status) have been able (and seemingly forgetful about it) to personally store these records. Maybe it is time to get rid of the Executive branch (Supreme Court as well) and create a different arrangement for running this country. That septuagenarians are leading this country is not a good thing, especially with the increased amount of early onset dementia - which both of our recent presidents (and Supremes as well) seem to exhibit.
George Santos has had a top secret security clearance since he was in kindergarten in Brazil. But he has never once taken a classified document to any of his 5+ homes.
He has more integrity when it comes to national security in his pinkie finger than the combined population of NFT salesman + Mike Pounce + LRC posters.
Thus far, Trump is the only one that repeatedly has said these documents are "mine" and he has total right to them and lied when he claimed he gave them all back.
In the words of the classic movie hit Dodgeball.
"That's a bold strategy Cotton, lets see if it pays off for him".
But how many of them had to be "raided" (Trump's own words) with a search warrant to get the documents back, after they were requested time after time after time?
I give Pence a pass.
I don't give Trump one.
By that standard I assume you don't give Biden or Hillary a pass either.

I said the same thing on the Mar-a-Lago thread, the same thing on the Biden thread, and will say the same thing on this thread. Obama had them, Clinton had them, I'm sure pretty much everybody else had them. Heck, Al Gore probably used some when he was making his documentary. They classify pretty much every document the president and VP touch while in office. The only reason we are hearing about it now is because Obama's archivist, David S. Ferriero had a vendetta against Trump.
Right wingers struggle with understanding of obstruction of justice. Laws are hard.
I'm getting sick of hearing about all these classified documents like our government isn't hiding a bunch of corrupt secrets. This is obviously a deep state power play to show all politicians who's boss.
From now on, all "classified" documents found at these houses should be immediately declassified. Let's see what they were about, this is getting ridiculous.

Maybe just notes to remind them to buy more Geritol
Even more poetic justice if these documents show that the Biden crime syndicate traded classified information with the Chinese in exchange for eliminating tariffs on Adult Diapers.
As I said elsewhere, this is a common practice because they are working at home and on vacations. Where it is criminal is where they lie and deny they have it and obstruct investigations into them and when they remove documents at the end of their term in order to avoid prosecution for what is in those documents. Trump was doing all of that.

Nobody knows what is on any of these documents. Anyone who claims to know is lying or leaking. Allegedly, the Biden documents concerned Ukraine and Iran. The only thing I am concerned about is if Kerry had any documents when he was meeting with the Iranians during Trump's presidency.
Doesn't matter. He had zero chance of winning the presidency.
The sad thing is he doesn't realize this. He still thinks he has a shot. It may be a reason he won't testify about January 6th or speak much against Trump. He still thinks he can win over some of the Trump supporters. He talks about traveling around the US and seeing he has support.
