Evasion 'to suit current politics rather than serve scholars
The Obama administration, motivated by politics, engaged in the “wholesale destruction” and “loss” of tens of thousands of government records that should have been preserved by law, according to an investigative reporter.
Thomas Lipscomb, founding publisher of Times Books, explained at Real Clear Politics that National Archivist David Ferriero discovered in the process of transferring Obama administration records in the National Archives that many key records are missing.
He explained that Ferriero, a “first-rate librarian,” has been leading a much-needed digital overhaul and expansion of the National Archives over the nine years of his appointment that will greatly improve access to the files.
“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,” he said.
However, 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.

Until there is Justice and people are held accountable, SO WHAT?
But the biggest news of the day is that Trump tore up a letter from Schumer. Now it’s lost to posterity! Oh wait, they taped it back together. Whew!
True and that bothers me to no end. I really wish we could do a clean sweep of all the corrupt GOP pols in DC. The people have to do it. Looks like they are getting rid of Sanford in SC.
Yes, I agree, keep erasing, and Trump is doing his best to erase the so called legacy. Erase until the Clint Eastwood chair is the picture for posterity.
Just so long as he didn’t rip any letters up...
How very.........Soviet........of them.
McCain and Romney were both Designated Losers.
Both of those elections were elaborate plays with the outcome predetermined.
They wanted Precedent Obama. (sp intentional)
They wanted the protections of the natural born citizen requirement gutted.
Both parties have a stable full of ineligible candidates.
There was no intent.
“What a Surprise! “
Just check Hitlery’s extra bedrooms; the papers are probably there somewhere.
“McCain and Romney were both Designated Losers.

A few years ago I would have balked at your comment. Now, I believe you are very likely correct. I’ve been with White House people, Senators, industry ‘captains’, and a variety of ‘connected people’ (who weren’t by any stretch all that impressive), and when I spoke to them about their responsibility to ‘the tax payers’, they shot each other looks, as though I was pathetically disconnected.
There is most definitely a swamp, and it’s been expanding for decades. I reached the point at which I started getting depressed by the realization that most of us are just pawns in a game played by political wannabes of limited ability. I believe, sincerely, that there was a time in our national history during which ambition, dreams, hard work, dedication, and sweat could lead you to a better horizon, and to fulfillment of aspirations and dreams. I believe, sincerely, that America was once the land of opportunity. I also sincerely believe that career politicians, and those ‘hangers on’ who ‘travel’ with them, have done extensively deep damage to our national spirit and identity, and are a cancer threatening the survival of our free nation.
Missing like his scholastic records? Obammy has a history of things missing..
Yeah, but Trump tore up a letter into tiny pieces...
Obama with a big grin: My administration was scandal free because we destroyed all the evidence.
“Good, now erase the rest of the eight years of Obama so he did not exist.”
