They violated all the rules, and Wray and Yates lied to Congress.

Dear Mr. Corcoran:
I write in response to your letters of April 29, 2022, and May 1, 2022, requesting that the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) further delay the disclosure to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of the records that were the subject of our April 12, 2022 notification to an authorized representative of former President Trump.
As you are no doubt aware, NARA had ongoing communications with the former President’s representatives throughout 2021 about what appeared to be missing Presidential records, which resulted in the transfer of 15 boxes of records to NARA in January 2022. In its initial review of materials within those boxes, NARA identified items marked as classified national security information, up to the level of Top Secret and including Sensitive Compartmented Information and Special Access Program materials. NARA informed the Department of Justice about that discovery, which prompted the Department to ask the President to request that NARA provide the FBI with access to the boxes at issue so that the FBI and others in the Intelligence Community could examine them. On April 11, 2022, the White House Counsel’s Office—affirming a request from the Department of Justice supported by an FBI letterhead memorandum—formally transmitted a request that NARA provide the FBI access to the 15 boxes for its review within seven days, with the possibility that the FBI might request copies of specific documents following its review of the boxes.
Although the Presidential Records Act (PRA) generally restricts access to Presidential records in NARA’s custody for several years after the conclusion of a President’s tenure in office, the statute further provides that, “subject to any rights, defenses, or privileges which the United States or any agency or person may invoke,” such records “shall be made available . . . to an incumbent President if such records contain information that is needed for the conduct of current business of the incumbent President’s office and that is not otherwise available.” 44 U.S.C.

The Deep State is united in overthrowing the Constitution and seizing the power to rule away from the people. Many Americans are so poorly educated that they cheer such a coup. They will go down in history as fools.
When do you think these letters were written?
We may not be at the end of the Republic but we can see it from here.
No confidence in an honest election ever again.

It’s a joke.
Durham gave RussIan Danchenko over 1,000 Classified Docs.
Huma had Classified Docs strewn about in her car.
Hillary’s staff shot Classified Documents to who knows where.
Strzok didn’t want to see Hillary’s staff devices, and entrusted them to wipe them of their own accord.
Huma sent Classified Docs to Anthony Weiner, who shared his drive with partners and all kinds of programs on the Internet.
Comey was found to have taken Classified Documents when he left his position.
Strzok and Page used unsecure phones, Computers, and email accounts for the highest level Classified Docs known to man.
Hillary lied about hers - and then hired a contractor to destroy her servers and drives after denying she had a private server.
And on and on…
What a nothing burger. Inferior offices trying to overrule a president.

According to John Solomon and the dates provided in this story, this was all set up in the Spring of this year. They probably waited until a short while prior to the midterm elections in order to smear DJT once again and thus smear all of his candidates running in congressional races to try to regain public control of their government.
The Deep State expected to end the Constitution with the election of Hillary Clinton; they were left reeling by the backlash of the American electorate and a candidate that the public finally trusted to stand up to the erosion of representative government. They have used the organs of power ever since to squash that movement.
Dark conspiracies are hatched in dark corners and carried out in darkness as much as possible. Now we know it has been the same people in the dark below ground sideline benches right from the start. However, how can we find the power to prosecute them?
As to 'honest elections' we will have to do what France did over 20 years ago: eliminate these evil 'voting machines' and allow only verified paper ballots. I heard a cyber expert today lecture that it is impossible to establish honest verifiable results with these computerized voting machines. Read the story of Antrim, Michigan in the 2020 election.
Hillary wasn’t HOUNDED BY A BUNCH OF CRAZED MANIACS.
Even though, she should have been.
I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer so I need this translated. As I read it, it is not very favorable to Trump. Where am I wrong?

Biden White House facilitated DOJ’s criminal probe against Trump, scuttled privilege claims: memos

Thanks. I did understand that part, but it still seems like Trump was delaying handing over the documents and not fully cooperating as he said.
Really? It seems to me that an archivist can’t decide whether a former President has Executive Privilege or not.
All great points. The whole thing is off the charts unequal justice.
