An "aide" stole classified documents from the National Archives itself. And then lied about it (obstruction). Not even a VICE president. An aide.

His "punishment" was a slap on the wrist...and a slap in the face to everyone not on their team.

A reminder of the multi-tiered "just us" in this country.

And for the week after that story broke, all of the Democrat talking Headz in the media said “well you know Sandy… He’s just sloppy”… That was the operative word all week long…” Sloppy, he’s just sloppy”.

Rush Limbaugh did a montage of it… I’m sure it’s still available somewhere.

He stole original documents on two different occasions in September, and October of 2003. There were five sets of original documents. He took one set the first time, and four sets the second. He hid them first, then retrieved them, took them to his office, and destroyed them. He had been given unsupervised, private access to those original documents by then archivist Nancy Kegan Smith. The fact that he had stolen originals, and not copies as originally reported came out during House Government Reform Committee hearings.

Aw, come on. Sandy just “forgot” those documents were in his socks and underwear, and as soon as he “found” those documents, he had his lawyers turn them over to the National Archives. Obviously this is NOTHING like what Trump did.

And it appeared that he was trying to destroy *all* copies of certain documents with annotations on them.

The DOX IN SOX Dr. Seuss memes have all been wiped from the internet,

so it didn’t really happen.
