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.”

There is simply no one not tainted by the Kenyanesian Usurpation to do any prosecuting.

Yes there is...

There has to be at least 150,000,000 of us...

“SWORN in twice, both times, both public and private.”

Makes one wonder which would be the more valid of the two.

The entire population of DC was well aware of all facts. From the SC Justices, to the common congressman and senator. And now they tell WTP files have gone missing? Nuke these SOBs
Reveal them for what they are. Enemies of America

THEN all of his presidential decisions would be null and void.

That is one reason why all his stuff has been removed from the archives.

They can't afford to take the chance of us ending up with the proof that he wasn't what he said he was.

Certainly his 2 SCROTUS picks are illegitimate. They should be removed from the bench on ‘conduct’ alone. Never mind the fact that they were appointed by an illegal alien enemy combatant ;)

Yep. I bet we would be surprised to look at all the things that should be rescinded.

Two Supreme Court Justices. Every bill he signed into law. Obamacare. ETC.

The archivist is fooling himself. The eight years of a super con man is nothing more than a gossamer web of betrayal. There is nothing about the guy worth preserving unless nightmares are some how deemed historically significant. Obozo’s entire presence on the political scene was a nullity, a big fat Zero. We are just now trying to fathom his final act of treason, yet seemingly still unwilling to unravel his entire phony past. How could a country so willingly allow itself to be conned for so, so many years? And, the feigned ignorance goes on and on and on.

Apparently we have no standing to stand for the Constitution when our elected and appointed won’t.

The Social Security Admin and Selective Service records need to be checked, too. Where’s the BC?

The archives has a section of fraudulent docs. That’s where the BC is.

Partner, this is why it is so imperative that we demand that the Swamp needs to be drained asap. We now have literally rat and rino politicians that are pure scum bags.

The same way we allow our corrupt federal government to investigate itself.

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

Whadahya mean “IF?”

Obama’s installation as POTUS was only the first of his illegal acts. President my azz!
