Records relating to former National Security Advisor Susan Rice’s surveillance of Americans, including Trump campaign and transition officials, have been sealed at the Barack Obama Presidential Library.
That means they are off-limits from the public for the next five years under the Presidential Records Act.
In April, reports emerged that Rice had requested to “unmask” — or unveil the hidden names of — Trump transition officials who were caught up in surveillance of foreign targets.
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton explained on "Fox & Friends" that they received (a letter) informing them that their request for materials related to Rice's unmasking of U.S. citizens, the hacking of DNC computers and suspected Russian communications with the Trump team will not be fulfilled.

I’m sorry your honor, I have placed those documents in a library and you can’t have them.

“Sessions (once he wakes up) ...” Optimistic aren’t we?
Get a warrant for the records. Send a SEAL team in to recover the records. Have the SEAL team shoot anyone attempting to prevent them from recovering the records.
Can anyone reading this explain what Constitutionally defined authority allows any branch of government to Constitutionally prevent a legally elected new President from accessing past official Federal records of any kind?
Without needing authority to do so from any other branch of government?
Apparently, AG Sessions has retired and forgot to tell the President.

This needs a quick hearing before the SCOTUS!

Presidential Records Act
This is a law written by the US Congress, which means the Congress can rewrite the law at any time and for any reason.

He certainly is not in evidence anywhere!

What Statute of Limitations?
Where is it defined in the Constitution?
Legislation does not ever trump the explicit provisions of the original Constitution. Nor can any simple legislation nullify any original provision.
That what the Constitutional Amendment Section Provisions are for.
Why does the “library” have these government records? And are officials seriously saying these are the only copies?
Sleepy Sessions recused himself from running the department, handed it over to a Democratic partisan.
“60 million dollar book deal”
Clinton style money laundering, book sales will never cover that amount.
Unseal them. They had no right to do this.
More BS from Obama and company.
Why are these records being hidden?
I guess Sessions is a swamp creature.
Bump for later
