Here are a couple of quotes from the second article:
Brown said Obama had an eye on preserving documents for history even ones he was not technically required to send to the National Archives.
except that Obama isn't having his papers in an archive that can be read by scholars or investigators. His library will be "virtual" which means to me that written items can be altered.
The following is from an Obama holdover working in the White House.
He described the firing as traumatic and frustratingly Kafkaesque. The only excuse that Ive ever gotten from them, he said, was that you serve at the pleasure of the president.
Well, duh. You DO serve at the pleasure of the president. I wish that PDJT had cleaned house a lot more than he did.
I know.
My point is that these reports were in the news years ago. And I can guarantee you that they were exactly what this "whistleblower" referenced when he apparently said his complaint was based on information in the "public domain."
