So then if a Presidential document is destroyed and not preserved would that person be guilty of a crime?
IF this is true AND the law is equal for,ALL,
RHE FBI SHOULD RAID OBAMAs HOME !!!
This is Obama’s banana republic. He’s the 3rd world Mugabe in this mix. I have no love for Brandon, but he isn’t steering the ship of state by virtue of mental incompetency.
There should be HUNDREDS of FIBBER’s in Chappaqua at this very moment.
And they are not going to raid any RAT den…pure political persecution….
bkmk
It is amazing how fast the press, big tech, and internet search engines collaborated to “fact check” this as “baseless.” The most ludicrous justification is that these millions of documents was under the control of the National Archives in the Chicago warehouse for Obama’s presidential library. All have been deemed “not classified” by someone and will all be returned once all 33 million documents have been digitized and put on line for all to see. So OBVIOUSLY it’s totally different when Obama does it.
Obama also did not make enemies with the Deep State by going against their cherished projects and questioning deeply held bipartisan assumptions.
They KNEW going in nothing was there.
It’s all kabuki theater for the deceived.
It really doesn’t matter of course but once again the DJT Presidency was amatuer hour for the thinghs that matter Inside the Beltway and in the DC-Boston intellectual axis. Obama had a Obama Foundation already put in place by competent cousel before setting foot in the White Hous. As his staff was organizing the BHO Presidential Library the National Archives and Recors Service already had a special Obama cell set up in the permanent NARS echelon in the Executive Office Building. Masses of doucumentation on what ever media were scanned for copying and inclusion in the BHO Library and the appropriate classification and (all important) originators control instructions attached. Over time, not just in the last weeks of the Obama Presidency these documents were shipped to a secure storage facility whose sole purpose was storing Obama documents and it was run and controlled by profession US Govt document storage and control and security personnel. All done according to USG regs and public law.
While DJT was actually doing highly substantive things there was virtually no one to do all the covering missions that the permanent government considers more important that actually doing anything.Many Trump actions are skimpily or poorly documented, if documented at all. Trump had no idea how the USG operated and thought it was roughly like how his business organization was run with documenting emphasis on contractual agreements and IRS and state and local tax records. Not surprising as Trump had zero real exposure to how government operates as well as (very sadly) the socalled professional non political civil service agencies mindset was to do nothing helpful or even to function in the normal manner without detailed direction and control from a White House that was pretty clueless (think Steve Bannon) as to what they had to do.
If DOJ and NARS works closely enough they are sure to be able to build a case for technical violations (no matter how inconsequential)both of fed regs and some Public Law by the Trump Whitehouse
“NARA said they are in control of the Obama documents at their facility in Chicago and any classified documents are under their control at a secure facility in the DC area.
So, Trump is spinning tales about this.”
As usual.
Left this out:
SO it doesn’t matter if BHO had 100M documents removed from the White House. You can bet they all were done per regulation and Public La and those that are supposed to never have existed were effectively sent to a very high security private storage facility and all record of their existence expunged. This is the same as was done for FDR who invented the ‘presidential library scam’, Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, and LBJ. Due to the Kennedy assassination the records of his presidency and of RFK are disordered and there is evidence LBJ saw to it significant quantities of Kennedy documents ended up in his private archive at the LBJ Library in Austin.Nixon records are a mess since he was forced out of office and many of his documents were never sent to his library and remain under restricted control by NARS.
Trump was virtually pushed out the back door of the White House and was lucky to have time to put his shoes on. A very sad story that will only be allowed to see partial light of day in 70 years or so when all principles are safely dead.
Indeed that could well be their defense. Can’t go further without losing it.................
“Trump is spinning tales about this.”
What were his exact words, “spinning tales?”
Ps: You’re on the wrong site.
“In control” or “In posession”?
Jeez, do you guys read anything? Or just read Truth Social.
The NARA put out a statement yesterday. Do a search. Educate yourself.
I recall Nancy flagrantly ripping up a document at the State of the Union address.
Where are the Obama papers now?
