Crisis at the National Archives (Obama records missing)
Real Clear Politics ^ | June 10, 2018 | Thomas Lipscomb

Posted on 06/10/2018 3:05:08 PM PDT by COUNTrecount

In the middle of directing the difficult task of transferring the historically important records of the Obama administration into the National Archives, the archivist in charge, David Ferriero, ran into a serious problem: A lot of key records are missing.

A first-rate librarian, Ferriero has been driving a much-needed digital overhaul and expansion of the National Archives over the nine years of his appointment. This will greatly improve the ability of digital search locally and remotely, as well as accessing the files themselves.

To support this effort, in 2014 President Obama signed the Presidential and Federal Records Act Amendments. For the first time electronic government records were placed under the 1950 Federal Records Act. The new law also included updates clarifying "the responsibilities of federal government officials when using non-government email systems" and empowering "the National Archives to safeguard original and classified records from unauthorized removal.” Additionally, it gives the Archivist of the United States the final authority in determining just what is a government record.

And yet the accumulation of recent congressional testimony has made it clear that the Obama administration itself engaged in the wholesale destruction and “loss” of tens of thousands of government records covered under the act as well as the intentional evasion of the government records recording system by engaging in private email exchanges. So far, former President Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former Attorney General Lynch and several EPA officials have been named as offenders. The IRS suffered record “losses” as well. Former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy called it “an unauthorized private communications system for official business for the patent purpose of defeating federal record-keeping and disclosure laws.”

IF it was found out that Obama was not legal to be president, THEN all of his so-called "legal" decisions would be in the proverbial crapper.

If this doesn't satisfy the definitions of high crimes and misdemeanors, I don't know what does...

Maybe 40 to 50 mysterious deaths murders directly or indirectly linked to the Criminal, tax-free Clinton Charitable Foundation?
Might those qualify?
Ya think?

"Look in Sandy Berger's underwear."

I should have said, look in the underwear of the Obamsters (both of them), Hillary and Lynch. However, after some consideration, I thought that too gross a subject to pursue on a Sunday. Then again, So is Sandy Berger's underwear.

My sincere apologies to all.

"Maybe we can delete, ignore, and forget the whole eight miserable years of the Obama regime."

Not until Obamacare and the Iran deal is gone and his Supreme Court Nominees have resigned.

DEMOCRATS ARE LAW-LESS because REpublicans are BALL-LESS!!!

Or complicit!

I am more and more convinced that what this country needs is the Patriots' 20-Million Man March and necktie party on the Capitol and Mall.
Seriously.

Sign me up.

They all calculated that they could break the law, abuse their power and destroy records without being held accountable or facing punishment.

As Hillary has shown, they were correct in their assessment.

Obama records are missing? Good. Maybe we can delete, ignore, and forget the whole eight miserable years of the Obama regime.

If all else fails, sounds good to me.

I just had a thought.
After the American-African's vermin loaded stay in the White House, it might be appropriate to demand a damage deposit or bond from future wannabe presidents.

Twice the total estimated cost of housing, salaries and expenses every four years (including meals and travel) sounds about right.

And there you have it folks!! These evil bastards are snakes! Once again they’ll skate!!! No wonder these buttholes are walking our streets and giving tv interviews without a care in the world! They KNOW IT, the evidence was probably destroyed during the black narcissistic months in office or stored in Ovomit’s basement! That explains the house purchase in DC!! The swamp literally needs to be destroyed!!

Well. This is a shock. Another shock will be of course to see this crime against the People completely ignored by the Globalist Cabal’s propaganda media.

“IF it was found out that Obama was not legal to be president”

Everyone KNOWS Barry Soetoro was never eligible to hold the ‘job’ he held for 8 long years. That’s the problem. Everyone knew and they didn’t say a word—TRAITORS ALL.

Never mind the fact that he was a marxist muslim America-hating enemy combatant.
