The Aug. 8 search of former President Donald Trump’s home and the unprecedented criminal investigation into his possession of White House documents all began with David Ferriero, the now-retired national archivist who alerted the Justice Department after finding classified information in boxes he retrieved from Mar-a-Lago.

Critics say Mr. Ferriero is a partisan who changed the rules to help excuse Secretary of State Hillary Clinton when she was under scrutiny for mishandling classified documents on her private, unsecured email server.

They also say the raid for a criminal investigation is just another politically motivated scheme to take down Mr. Trump, who remains popular among many voters and is weighing a 2024 White House bid. This time, the dispute is over the Federal Records Act. Trump supporters say it hardly warrants an investigation or raid of ...

David S. Ferriero only recently retired from the National Archives and Records Administration a few months ago....., effective mid-April 2022.

Convenient.

It looks like the Archives are owned and controlled by the commie RATS. That’s a damn same. This clown saying he wanted a commie regime to pick his replacement tells me that ANYTHING THE FAG says about what was at Mar-A-Lago is lies to get President Trump. Nothing more. Another damn RAT liar.

If you believe this story I have some high and dry land in the LA swamp to sell you....

What do you not believe? Whether or not the "evidence" is compelling isn't this particular story. Just that some poor sap gave the pricks an "in" to look for dirt.

Looking at that picture brings back memories of when I used to clean corrals for minimum wage during one of my entry level jobs while growing up.

Obama and Clinton still have things they took from the White House. This is just a democrat jerk playing his role to stick it to Trump because he’s overcome with hatred.

Red, Everything I'm reading links this guy to the deep swamp.......and he was especially critical of the Jan. 6th crowds. And to think he was nominated by Obama and then just retired in April....rather convenient.

I believe he would come the closest to fitting that description.

Yes, that's surely what it looks like. I doubt Susan Ferrechio just made it up.

Yep....all my reading about him says he’s deep state. Nominated by Obama - and retires after he gets all the goods (april 2022) to protect him.

If Democrat scum steal the senate and pack the Supreme Court, Trump will go to prison.

And gutless Republicans will say nothing.

He was pretty blatant and outspoken about his efforts too.

Just as proud as he could be.

Another Government agent in a position to be just too too worried Trump would destroy the world! (#*$*#& unladylike expletive.)
Speaking of which, I see we’re gonna supply stuff for gay men (?) conventions so they don’t get monkeypox. I suggest we don’t do anything and tell them not to do anything for a couple days. It will be cheaper for taxpayers. Did they supply anything to gun conventions so they wouldn’t get COVID?

Those activist Librarians have never had any power - and they weren’t upset about Hillary’s entire Off-net system for four years!

Then she paid a company to Bleach-bit everything.

Those people are insufferable bureaucrats that are ignored ad infinitum.

There were two sources I believe on the affidavit. This POS was one but th y did not have specificity from him I would imagine. During some aspect of the many witch hunts my guess is someone was asked an innocuous question, seemingly, and got scammed into mentioning the safe or folder IMO. This kicked around on garland desk until they got the second source.

No one ‘made up’ stuff about Hillary’s server - (with classified information on it and unprotected in a Colorado bathroom) which isn’t the issue because the powers that be give democrats passes.

The problem is thugs putting their fat thumbs on the scale of justice by favoring one party over the other... the issue isn’t did the person ‘tell the truth’. The issue is “why does it only matter when ‘the truth’ is against a Republican”.

His wife works at either PBS or NPR, so we can guess their political persuasion. He’s just another partisan hack who deserves to be exposed for the harm he’s caused America.

Of course that's the issue. My remark is that the story of the archivist being the whistleblower was entirely believable, that the writer, Susan Ferrichio didn't just make his identity up. The follow-up raid by the Feds wasn't the topic; that is the real debate, of course. Jeez. The archivist's identity is just an interesting tidbit as there was plenty of wild speculation about the "mole" identity.
