Judicial Watch today announced that the National Security Council (NSC) on May 23, 2017, informed it by letter that the materials regarding the unmasking by Obama National Security Advisor Susan Rice of “the identities of any U.S. citizens associated with the Trump presidential campaign or transition team” have been removed to the Obama Library.....
The agency also informed Judicial Watch that it would not turn over communications with any Intelligence Community member or agency concerning the alleged Russian involvement in the 2016 presidential election; the hacking of DNC computers; or the suspected communications between Russia and Trump campaign/transition officials.
Specifically, the NSC told Judicial Watch:
Documents from the Obama administration have been transferred to the Barack Obama Presidential Library. You may send your request to the Obama Library. However, you should be aware that under the Presidential Records Act, Presidential records remain closed to the public for five years after an administration has left office.

Well, manure can be useful in the right setting...
from the NSA-— without question, and direction of the President. Not raw data... the requests for unmasking HAVE to be in writing. Am looking for the interview with Admiral Rogers on the laws covering this process-— and how it was circumvented.
If Grenell requests from the “non-existent” bammy library are stalled or blocked, then major federal action would take place. Point being these documents are NOT the property of the Obama Library, and they cannot retain them simply because they say so. This would be equivalent to say a President Truman’s library refusing to divulge information on the Atomic Bomb spies as regards... say, the Russian Spies in his own administration (from FDR’s— people like Hopkins, and yes... Alger Hiss).
