Nobody Knows How Many Obama-Era Presidential Records Are Missing
lifezette ^ | 01 Feb 2018 | Charles Ortel

Posted on 02/03/2018 6:14:03 AM PST by MarvinStinson

If those millions of documents are lost, America may never understand the truth about who should have been indicted

That did not take long. Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General (IG) Michael Horowitz has forensic tools that FBI senior executives did not bother to use before incorrectly claiming that five months’ worth of text messages between bureau lovers Lisa Page and Peter Strzok somehow evaporated into thin digital air.

Here’s another issue: Should anyone have confidence that all official presidential records created or received during the historic tenure of Barack H. Obama in the Oval Office are actually stored securely and fully preserved, pending completion of the Obama Presidential Library, which at present remains stuck in planning stages?

The National Archivist, an Obama-appointed holdover named David S. Ferriero who was appointed Nov. 6, 2009, has his work cut out for him. There are already dozens of serious questions swirling about missing Obama records, so endless controversies loom.

How many senior people in the Obama White House used personal or alias email accounts or private servers, as did former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her inner circle? At least one member of Obama’s cabinet — Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson — used the fake name “Richard Windsor” in hundreds of emails while conducting official government business.

Is it plausible that Lois Lerner and her IRS emails actually vanished, that so few emails from Clinton’s years at Foggy Bottom intersected with Clinton Foundation matters, or that no emails concerning these and related subjects ended up in the Obama White House?

The Presidential Records Act of 1978 defines “Presidential Records” as including: “All books, correspondence, memoranda, documents, papers, pamphlets, works of art, models, pictures, photographs, plats, maps, films, and motion pictures, including, but not limited to, audio and visual records, or other electronic or mechanical recordations, whether in analog, digital, or any other form.”

Drafted before widespread use of the internet, the 1978 law should fairly be read to include, as a minimum, all emails and text messages created or received by Obama, the White House staff and all of his political appointees throughout the executive branch in the performance of their official duties, regardless of whether done using government or private communication devices.

From Jan. 20, 2009, through Jan. 20, 2017, Obama was required to “take all such steps as may be necessary to assure that the activities, deliberations, decisions, and policies that reflect the performance of the president’s constitutional, statutory, or other official or ceremonial duties are adequately documented and that such records are preserved and maintained as presidential records pursuant to the requirements of this section and other provisions of law.”

From Jan. 20, 2017, forward, Ferriero was required to “assume responsibility for the custody, control, and preservation of, and access to, the presidential records of that president. The archivist shall have an affirmative duty to make such records available to the public as rapidly and completely as possible.”

How will Ferriero, or his successor eventually appointed by President Donald Trump, satisfy these strict statutory requirements to guard all items due to be transferred to whatever repository will ultimately hold the Obama presidency’s official records?

According to Clinton’s telling, no classified electronic transmissions occurred using her home-brew private servers or unsecured electronic devices. The private server was located in the Clinton’s Chappaqua, New York, mansion.

If that is true, then all electronic communications sent by Clinton to Obama are likely presidential records that should be available to the public. How many were sent by Obama to Clinton? Might that suggest she wasn’t indicted because if she was, then wouldn’t Obama also be? Former federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy makes a persuasive case for that possibility.

And if classified electronic transmissions occurred between Clinton and Obama, then the former president or his top aides should have noticed attendant troubles, and swiftly attempted to deal with them as relevant laws provide. That makes how many of them accessories?

What will all relevant presidential records reveal, should all come to light? I wonder just how hard it will be to reassemble the Obama-era presidential records, especially including electronic media, and then open these for public scrutiny, as the law requires.

Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) has a gargantuan “missing records” problem in his oversight role over the National Archive and Records Administration (NARA), where the National Archivist labors.

At least IG Horowitz moves swiftly and effectively, so let’s hope he has time helping to preserve all Obama-era presidential records, in addition to his other duties.

We should all remember one thing it makes all these “discoveries” a little easier to understand. Dems think they are above the law.It’s nothing new just the truth.
They have been skirting the law for decades. Small insignificant laws at first later whatever they needed to get the job done from murder on down.

Too many lawyers, too little time. The Obama regime learned most of what they did from the Clintoons. That’s why they were always surrounded by lawyers. I counted 17 at one time. Right down to Huma doing everything for the hildabeast. Val/jar pretty much ran the show for ozero. He wasn’t capable anyway,IMHO.
Ortel is a wealth of knowledge as are you,great stuff.

Interesting. Thanks for the link.

What will Hussein do if he needs to make a hollowed out book for his coke stash?

The cover-up was really well done,I think we know who was responsible for all that.Probably the same that tried to cover up Fuddys death but failed miserably.

Here are three new videos done by Hugo that survey the plane crash that supposedly killed Loretta Fuddy.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjnF15qADs8&t=299s

three of these videos on the Fuddy crash, very compelling

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uU1M7BeM2E&t=30s
here is another one

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTLp_JSExrI&t=13s

I have been following this for several years now and it's extremely compelling. several years ago,I also watched a three hour video,also done by Hugo. These three brings everyone up to speed on what happened in the well planned out crash where Fuddy was the only one “supposedly” killed.

My guess ismost law enforcement now is busy draining and going after far bigger fish with far bigger criminality. They will get to these guys but might take a while.
What prevents them from throwing everything in the ocean in 10,000 feet of water?

If I was an IT guy, told to wipe the servers I think I would be smart enough to read the writing on the illegal wall. I’d keep a copy against threats or “accidents.”

Loretta Fuddy had a personal relationship with zeros supposed parents namely Ann.This alone would prohibit zero from merely taking out Fuddy for being one of the last ones who can ID him as a phony. Instead he(someone created)did the elaborate fraud using the navy most likely CIA and many others to show the importance of Fuddy and why she could not be hit.
Here’s a clip from AT on the FUddy/Ann/Soetoro connect.
............

The appendage “(Soebarkah)” has never been satisfactorily explained by anyone, and I certainly don’t know what “Soebarkah” means, but it does seem to indicate a name change or change in citizenship status for the boy.

Clearly, just what constitutes “a satisfactory explanation” varies with respect to persons, subject matter, context, and so forth.

And yet, there is a very good — and simple — explanation for the seemingly random appearance of the sobriquet “Soebarkah” on Mother Soetoro’s passport application.

Believe it or not, the reason may be linked to one Loretta Fuddy.

Yes, that Loretta Fuddy — the Hawaii state health director who approved the release of Obama’s long-form birth certificate and who has apparently succumbed to a nasty case of post random plane crash induced arrhythmia.

Ann Soetoro and Loretta Fuddy appear to have one very odd thing in common: both have been linked to the Subud cult, which originated in, of all places, Indonesia and was founded by the Javanese Muslim Muhammed Subuh.

The smallish cult appears to have had, at least circa 2001 and according to this profile of sorts in the Honolulu Advertiser, 20,000 members worldwide. Notice the picture of Deliana Fuddy, then “regional helper” and member of the faith? Let’s return to her Subud status in a second.

Note also that the World Subud organization seems to have been based in, of all cities....wait for it...Chicago. Indonesia...Chicago...Hawaii... three locales linked to Obama’s life.
Next, observe that the Advertiser article states that Subud was introduced to Hawai’i in the 1960s (more on this in the conclusion).
Now to Ann Soetoro. She was linked to Subud by her biographer (and New York Times reporter) Janny Scott (Harvard ‘77) in the book A Singular Woman: The Untold Story of Barack Obama’s Mother,” reviewed by the New York Times here

You’re welcome.

“What will Hussein do if he needs to make a hollowed out book for his coke stash”?

He’ll find a phony $3 bill. He’s such a vile phony that that would be appropriate.

Are you talking about Lexus? I don’t have access anymore. I had some on my comp but lost that one. The Lexus search will still work. They never made any attempt to hide the info and/or change it. I seem to recall the PI was a “DANIELS”. It was on FR along with several court cases into Obamas birth. Orly may have been in some.

A while back I bought out a company that had a division that was in the IT security/management field. It had nothing to do with the core business. I flipped the core business a few months later but the IT division was left because the buyer didn't want it. When I started looking at the IT thing I noticed that not only was I paying for my own small server setup I was paying for server services at four other separate locations. So I asked about it and the answer was that they were “redundant” backup sites. I sold the company to the two keys guys and use their services to this day. They do a great job and are very paranoid about backups and security.
