(BY PURE COINCIDENCE, the former Archivist resigned among a scandal in DEC 2008, just after Obama was elected, and just before he took office. This scandal was not revealed until DEC 2017, after Obama was out of office. The current Archivist has not allowed the release of any Obama records. Hmmm.)
Appoint a new Archivist, make one simple records request (like college transcripts), and ignore the Obama objection (since nothing of National Security importance could be found in a college transcript, right?)... and viola!!!
Hell, just watching the media and the Left HOWL at the simple appointment of a new minor character like an Archivist will be worth its weight in popcorn, before a single release is made.
Why would Zero’s college transcripts be in the National Archives? His colleges grades aren’t part of the national record of his administration.
It seems to me they would still be controlled by the institution where he went to school subject to the same privacy regulations as your transcripts or mine. Meaning the institution can release them only if he gives them permission. (Which he won’t do!) Or a court orders the institution to release them for some legal reason.
I think Zero pre-presidential life has been very carefully hidden behind the privacy laws. Its been very well thought out. Which means he didn’t plan it!
Don’t you suppose the Ministry of Truth has already eliminated or “corrected” any problem documents?
Small problem: Presidential school/college records and real birth certificates are not National Archives materials.
Thanks for your informative post. After reading your post, I’ve checked out on Wikipedia the career of former archivist of Congress, Mr. Allen Weinstein and his abrupt departure from the position of National Archives just a couple of weeks before Barack Obama took office. Weinstein was clearly a brilliant, highly educated man and seems to have been a straight shooter who delved into evidence, no matter where it led. According to Wikipedia, he at one point thought the perhaps Whittaker Chambers had been innocent of being a spy against the U.S.. After much interviewing of Chambers and more research, he concluded that Chambers was indeed a Communist. How convenient that an accusation was brought against him, already getting up in years, and not proven, as far as I can see. Who would have benefitted from that accusation? If one were reading a mystery novel, one would think that Weinstein could have been counted on to dig for original documents once Jan. 1, 2009 rolled around a couple of weeks later. Maybe it’s not such a coincidence that Weinstein left right then.
Obama appointed both a new National Archivist (David Ferriero) and a new Librarian of Congress (Carla Hayden).
Ferriero had held academic posts and had been head of New York Public Library. The National Archivist is, among this duties, in charge of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).
Carla Hayden was head of the Enoch Pratt Free Library, i.e. the public library of Baltimore. Previous to that she headed the Chicago Public Library. Obama in appointing her Librarian of Congress spoke of his and Michelle’s having known her from Chicago.

Hold off until Barry hits the campaign trail on behalf of the dems. It’s coming up.
