Past US presidents, VPs asked to recheck for classified docs
Associated Press ^ | January 26, 2023 | Colleen Long, Jill Colvin and Zeke Miller

The Archives sent a letter Thursday to representatives of former presidents and vice presidents extending back to Ronald Reagan to ensure compliance with the Presidential Records Act, according to a copy obtained by The Associated Press. The act states that any records created or received by the president are the property of the U.S. government and will be managed by the Archives at the end of an administration.

The Archives sent the letter to representatives of former Presidents Donald Trump, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush and Ronald Reagan, and former Vice Presidents Pence, Biden, Dick Cheney, Al Gore and Dan Quayle.

Responsibility to comply with the Presidential Records Act “does not diminish after the end of an administration,” the Archives wrote in the letter. “Therefore, we request that you conduct an assessment of any materials held outside of (the Archives) that relate to the administration for which you serve as a designated representative under the PRA, to determine whether bodies of materials previously assumed to be personal in nature might inadvertently contain Presidential or Vice Presidential records subject to the PRA, whether classified or unclassified.” …

From what I understand you have to sign out these documents. Can’t be that hard to check to see what was signed out and never returned.

Now that Biden’s been caught, they want to use the “Everybody does it” argument. That argument was not used in favor of Trump.

Oh, now the criminal fbi is being nice and “asking” previous presidents and vices if they have broken the law but they will not raid their homes.

Shut down the fbi and justice dept. They are the enemy of freedom.

Everybody but Trump was ashed. For Trump the have placed the 3rd Marine Division on 30 minute standby for a full assualt on Miralago. There has been a slight holdup as the Marines can find no artillery shells stateside fo the assault.

Dollars to donuts every one of these individuals will soon be coughing up classified documents, something nobody would’ve ever cared about until “Orange Man Bad” and that has now come back to bite everyone in the ass.

LOL! Trump ruined all the fun.

The National Archives should know exactly what documents are unaccounted for.
