National Archives responds to Trump lawyers' letter on handling classified documents

The National Archives and Records Administration responded Thursday to a letter sent to top congressional leaders from former President Donald Trump's lawyers regarding the handling of classified materials at Mar-a-Lago, rebutting claims that the agency didn't assist the transition team.

NARA responded to a letter sent to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner and the Gang of Eight congressional leadership Wednesday from former President Donald Trump's attorneys that states the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago last August for the materials was unnecessary.

The Gang of Eight consists of the top four congressional leaders and the head Republicans and Democrats from the intelligence committees of both the House and Senate.

It's obvious to all but the most TDS-suffering individuals that special document rules were made to apply only to Trump. Notice that there has been no movement or reporting on the investigation into Biden retaining classified information for decades, and there have been no leaks from the special counsel created to investigate the matter. I suspect that is because no investigation is actually being done but rather a cover-up is in progress.

NARA are radicalized Librarians.

They told staff to be quiet and that the issue with Hillary Secretary of State keeping all her info and then destroying most of it - off-net - and not memorialized - had to be handled with sensitivity.

What are the names & political affiliation of all NARA members involved in the “get Trump” over documents farce?

Same with the Bragg gang.

Same with Letia James gang.

Same with the Fulton County gang.

Same with the “Jack Ass” Smith Washington DC gang.

We need to know if we’re witnessing partisan political operators using the “law system” to take down democrat “enemies.”

Every American, even if they hate Trump with a burning passion, should be appalled at the weaponization of our justice system against one man.

Because if “they” can do this to a billionaire ex-President…what can they do to YOU?

I don’t have TDS and I don’t even think that the possession of documents is a huge deal. I however have read a lot of the correspondence that has been released between Trump’s lawyers and NARA in the months before the raid. Unfortunately it seemed to me that Trump’s lawyers were not being very cooperative or responsive to NARA and they were needlessly dragging out a process that could have been settled months earlier. NARA gave them many chances to comply with the Presidential Records Act but it just seemed like Trump’s lawyers would jerk them around almost every chance they got.

I wonder why Trump’s lawyers were stalling?

Where is the NARA letter. They have Turner’s response but not the NARA letter. They have Trump’s lawyers letter. But not NARAs.

[VanShuyten]

I heard a report somewhere today that the National Archives helped pack boxes, reviewing which mementoes had to stay, and actually packed many of the restricted documents themselves.

[unclebankster]

Where is the NARA letter. They have Turner’s response but not the NARA letter. They have Trump’s lawyers letter. But not NARAs.

You should call your democrat librarian buddies and get their side of the story.

Free Republic can’t wait for your valuable information.

the agency's general counsel, Gary M. Stern, clarifies that that the agency in fact "did send staff members to the White House in the final weeks of the Trump administration to assist with the move of the physical records."

"Stern's letter also described how this assistance was similar to the assistance that NARA had provided to the White House during the three previous presidential transitions," the agency told JTN.

breathtaking...they are damned either way...if true, it's NARA that screwed the pooch not Pres. Trump's people.

[Candor7]

Even NARA was operating a stalinist espionage operation. How many federal agencies have been weaponized?

I hope the Congressional Weaponization Committee takes a look at what happened. They can solve the whole problem.

[Vermont Lt]

Yeah, many on FR are not really interested in any information other than what their Lord Trump (PBUH) has to tell them.

Perhaps they will have a Press Conference at the Four Seasons to spread their gospel.

You’re not referring to Donald Trump. Instead, you’re talking about the caricature of him you’ve allowed yourself to receive from the media.

The actual Donald Trump is a person you don’t understand.

That is, assuming you’re a sincere and honest poster.
