They must be getting worried that Trump is going to order the release of all Obama’s documents. I can't wait for that day...and it WILL happen before Trump leaves office.

Trump doesn't need to order the release of anything. He just needs to appoint a new National Archivist. Obama's VERY FIRST act in office (EO 13489) was to give the Archivist the final say in what Presidential records are released (after giving the President (past or present) 30 days to explain why they should not be released (if they object).

(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!!!
