Is a presidentisl library even allowed to hold classified docs? If so, I’m very surprised. Seems like a security risk.

Is the FBI noticing this?

Yes, the Presidential Libraries all have “vaults” in which to store classified documents. Most NARA facilities do, since there are so many classified documents generated by our lovely government, who’s creed is “if its embarrassing or could be used as evidence, then classify it!”

Yes, they all have national security vaults run by the Archives and the material is only available to scholars with the appropriate clearances and approvals. This is separate from the non classified papers which still require you be an approved scholar and approved to see the papers you’ve requested. The President (or his representative) can with hold documents. For example Lyndon Johnson’s financial records are still pretty much sealed from public view. His estate is preventing people getting a look. From reading Caro’s books on Johnson you know there was a lot of corruption (he was the wealthiest president: at least when he left office though most was in his wife’s name.)

Yes a presidential library is allowed to hold classified documents form the time of that president. I tried to get a job a few years ago at the Nixon library which required a high level clearance due to papers concerning the Vietnam war in its archives.

The Clinton WH was the biggest security leak that this nation has ever known, allowing access to our most top secret documents to the Chicoms in exchange for campaign contributions. Hillary or Obama would be no different.

They are too busy indoctrinating agents in Islam and the homosexual lifestyle.

WHAT security risk? Even when such classified documents were in the hands of the National Archives, the Burglar stole some and destroyed them off site.

And there was little done about it.

Our government has a shadow government of Clintonistas in place. They are permitted to do as they will.

Stolen FBI files? No biggie.
