Allahpundit is a complete d-bag. I can never get past his byline.

“But it would be very surprising if Stern had made that detail up or was misinformed about a fact that basic before sending a letter to a former president requesting the return of sensitive documents.” -— Allahpundit is assuming NARA is on the up and up. I do not.

Allah Pundit forgets to mention that the FBI was given complete access to all of the documents and reviewed them.

This is so predictable.

Wonder why they weren’t concerned with the State Dept emails for four years?

If you recall, Hillary destroyed thousands - and only provided paper copies of things she alone wanted to be seen.

Were Strzok and Page’s emails and plans memorialized?

Some activist cross dressing librarians going after one person.

Obama still has 3 million pages of documents that he took from the White House. Get them first.

Joe Biden ordered $3 Billion more for Ukraine from a Donor’s $20 Million dollar Beachfront Mansion.

How do we know was was left and what was intercepted and what he approved regarding a War?

No one cares - cause it’s Joe and Hunter.

Trump should have long ago called all to arms so he’s being quite restraint.

Trump explained it. They were leaking everything Trump was giving them and handing it over to Jan 6 commission.

Why did the GSA send it there?

This is the most ridiculous discussion of a (non) crime I can imagine.

Why would anyone care how many months Trump had his own documents before he gave them to the National Archives?

Did he also delay sitting for his presidential portrait?

Because Tom Fitton convinced him he didn’t need to, for the same reason that Clinton was able to avoid turning docs over to Judicial Watch.

I think PRA is the ruling process whcih i think gives Trump years to process his papers.
https://www.archives.gov/presidential-libraries/laws/1978-act.html

Places the responsibility for the custody and management of incumbent Presidential records with the President.
Requires that the President and his staff take all practical steps to file personal records separately from Presidential records.
Allows the incumbent President to dispose of records that no longer have administrative, historical, informational, or evidentiary value, once the views of the Archivist of the United States on the proposed disposal have been obtained in writing.

Because I TOLD HIM NOT TO.

Trump calls me ALL the time for advice and in regard to this matter I TOLD HIM to ignore their requests.

So therefore tell anyone to take up the issue with ME.

Contact my office and schedule an appointment with one of my many secretaries.

Thanks.. and PI$$ OFF you bureaucratic A$$HOLES!

What was the DOJ supposed to do after 15 months of polite requests to get back “top secret/SCI” information that the former president wasn’t supposed to have and hadn’t properly secured?

The DOJ is supposed to not worry about it and deal with the rampant crime wave. Of if they want to focus on getting documents processed faster they should focus on getting the FDA to release the clinical studies on the clot-shot that is being slow walked out over 75 years. That would actually have some public benefit...but of course they are all about political benefit.

Maybe to frame Trump. I think everything the government does, is evil.

If the president does not have absolute control of his own documents who precisely does? Nameless bureaucrats? Security officials? Opposition party functionaries?
The raid and theft of documents from a president, any president, spells the doom of the republic. We have become a mindless tyranny controlled by unknowable agencies pursuing their own agendas.

When a vast conspiracy to obscure the truth about a Kenyan-born con man's birthplace, education, drugee life and friendships with real domestic terrorists, classic street-corner Communism hawker and eventual promotion up though the Daly machine to Illinois' Senator...their swiping all his records in office was standard operating procedure.

If Bammie's library ever gets built it will house more BS than Chicago's stockyards.

The core issue is that a former and quite possibly future president is accusing many influential members of the other party of very serious crimes and stating without any subtle nuance that the justice system is compromised and Americans cannot trust it.

These are enormously serious allegations and yet the media just choose to be cheerleaders for the criminal enterprise that is the current administration and its supporting cast, in fact, just about all of the Democratic Party. This rot likely extends well into the Republican Party as well.

I find it astonishing that these matters have not created a political response beyond the indignation of Trump’s base of support. The role of the media in this cannot be excused. It is another crime of great significance rivalling the crimes that they refuse to investigate or report on.
