I’m betting that the amount of documents generated by either the president or vice president is quite extensive. The fact that there are misplaced classified documents is not surprising to me. I have a feeling future office holders will have to have some one on their staff who’s sole responsibility is to keep up with all the classified information generated to ensure that this doesn’t happen again.The single biggest difference in Trump and everybody else who were discovered to have classified documents is Trump was President. He was legal to have them, and even declassify them if he wished.
What makes this and Pence’s case different from Trump’s is Trump’s obstruction of justice. All Trump had to do was cooperate and return the documents and this would have been a non issue. Originally Posted by txdot-guy

Regardless of what a bunch of glorified clerks in the National Archives say, as a former President, Trump was well within his legal rights to possess the documents he had.
