The documents requested by Johnson and Grassley should provide the necessary transparency to understand which players at NARA were involved.
ens. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, have launched an inquiry into the National Archives and Records Administration (“NARA”) after documents provided by a whistleblower revealed the archives’ role in the criminal targeting of Trump in the alternative electors case. This recent revelation means NARA stood at ground-zero for both of the special counsel’s criminal cases, with NARA also behind the classified document investigation.
On Monday, Johnson and Grassley issued a press release announcing the opening of an inquiry into NARA and its inspector general, to probe the propriety of their involvement in the classified document and alternative electors criminal investigations of Donald Trump. The press release also noted Johnson, the Chair of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, and Grassley, the Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, were seeking “all NARA records, including the NARA Office of Inspector General, referring, or relating to the Arctic Frost and the classified document investigation.”
The FBI officially opened an investigation into the naming of alternative electors by various battleground state Republicans on April 13, 2022, dubbing the probe Arctic Frost. Since January 2025, Grassley and Johnson have been releasing various whistleblower records revealing coordination between the DOJ, FBI, and Biden White House to charge the former president in the trumped-up alternative electors case.
The Republican senators also exposed the role the anti-Trump former FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Timothy Thibault played in prompting the launch of the criminal investigation. But Monday’s press release now suggests a new character in the get-Trump scheme: NARA.
While the press release made scant mention of the reason underlying the chairs’ decision to open an inquiry into both NARA and its inspector general, the senators’ announcement included links to five previous oversight statements and related documents.
Of particular import, the draft Electronic Communication proposing the opening of Arctic Frost, dated March 22, 2022, noted that “[p]rior to the FBI’s involvement in the case, agents from the United States Postal Inspector’s Service and the Investigative Unit of the Office of the Inspector General for the National Archives had both opened investigations related to this matter and were coordinating with the USAODC.”
So, even before Thibault — the virulently anti-Trump FBI agent — became involved in investigating the alternative electors, NARA’s Office of the Inspector General had opened an investigation into the matter, working with the D.C. U.S. Attorney.
Yet, NARA’s interest in the investigation proves tangential at best, with the EC noting that “NARA, on behalf of the Archivist of the United States, coordinates certain Electoral College functions between the States and Congress.” “Acting as an intermediary,” the EC continued, “NARA reviews ‘Certificates of Ascertainment and Vote’ before Congress accepts them as evidence of official State action in preparation for the counting of electoral votes in Congress.”
Also, by statute, state electors must certify the electors and “dispose” of them by sending them by registered mail “to the President of the Senate at the seat of government,” the “secretary of state of the State,” and to the “Archivist of the United States at the seat of government.” Accordingly, NARA received the alternative elector certificates from Republicans in five states, where litigation over election disputes remained pending....SNIP

The extent of the collusion is remarkable.
What turd polishing is Tribault up to these days. He and Strzk and how many others were seeking to destroy our government by destroying President Trump?

With the size, scope and specialization of the Federal government, there is a need to include various departments in the plan. Who has the lawyers, who has the law enforcement and who has the records. So yes the amount of departments and people involved is large, but that’s how government works.
The keeper of the records can destroy what they don’t want seen.
I’m astonished that so many of the YouTube channels I follow that have NOTHING to do with politics have managed to insert something antiTrump into their content. Often, it’s not by name but they’ll mention recent political changes that harm the environment or are increasing world tension or cutting down on funding for vital research. A couple I really liked have done it so often I’ve unfollowed. I’ve never seen this level of divisiveness before.
The Faces of Fascism! Abuse of the positions of Government to collude and destroy the will of the people.
David Ferriero and Timothy Thibault.
Government of the Government, by the government, for the Government...should be destroyed.
You don’t say?
Bttt.

Scary. It’s the same old boys club not accepting because: “He’s not one of us!”.
#TDS Trump Derangement Syndrome is real.
It takes a while to build a federal criminal case, and I understand that. But it would be nice to start to see some consequences.
Agree they even have the guilt look note no smiles.
you mean they should be leaking like the biden doj?
NARA had boxes of documents from the Trump White House that were boxed up by GSA staffers and sitting on a pallet in a warehouse that NARA wanted to get rid of. They notified the Biden administration and then shipped the boxes to Mar-a-Lago. These are the boxes that the FBI raided after NARA sent them to Trump.
Here is a start: NEW: Judge Cannon Unseals Unredacted Mar-a-Lago Search Warrant Affidavit.
Within that article is this link: Julie Kelly: So an entire pallet full of boxes that had been held by GSA somewhere outside of DC is dumped at Mar-a-Lago. Apparently these are the boxes that ended up containing papers with "classified markings."
See the Jack Smith documents describing the coordination between NARA and the Biden White House Counsel.

I’d love to see that smug weasel Strzok end up in Leavenworth or similar. It is where he belongs, along with several others.
Actually, this list is a good start.
