House GOP probing whether National Archives conspired with Democrats in Trump records dispute
justthenews.com ^ | 10/14/2022 | john solomon

Two powerful House Republicans demanded Friday that the National Archives and Records Administration disclose whether the history-preserving agency collaborated with Democrats to encourage an FBI investigation into Donald Trump's presidential records.

Rep. James Comer, the top Republican on the House Oversight and Reform Committee, and Rep. Jim Jordan, the ranking member on the House Judiciary Committee, request a tranche of documents be turned over to them in a letter to acting Archivist Debra Steidel Wall, saying they have suspicions there was collusion between her agency and congressional Democrats in the effort to get the FBI to investigate allegations Trump possessed records with classified markings on them.

"Committee Republicans have learned that NARA's actions initiated the Department of Justice's (DOJ) criminal investigation against the former president the same day committee Democrats inquired about whether a referral to DOJ had been made," the two lawmakers wrote.

The two Republicans demanded access to NARA documents that would help them determine "whether and to what extent Congressional Democrats influenced and coordinated" with the National Archives to prompt the probe, which led to the unprecedented FBI raid on Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.

Among the evidence being sought are "all documents and communications between or among employees or agents of NARA and DOJ referring or relating to the Trump Administration's control, transfer, storage, or other handling of documents subject to the Presidential Records Act."

Political masters never ask a question they don’t already know the answer to.

I’m sure they have been saving all these documents for the Republicans.

National Archive workers are government workers, likely affirmative action hires and minorities from D.C. and the probability of them conspiring with the DNC illegally is high.

I suspect it is true and that the DOJ initiated the conspiracy.

The National Archives is the same outfit that puts a trigger warning on the Declaration of Independence and Constitution. They also did a whole display about the atomic bombs dropped on Japan without any information regarding the attack on Pearl Harbor and the little thing known as WW2.

So, given their history, I would strongly suspect that they conspired with the Media-Dem Party. They may have been the ones who put certain classified documents into those boxes in the first place since Trump didn’t personally pack any of those boxes.

“conspiracy” is not necessary when you’re of like mind.

Vindictive powermonger Bidung unleashed OUR DOJ w/ a public spectacle
<><>a raid on Trump to humiliate Trump and destroy his political base.

But by doing that, they gave President Trump everything he needs
<><>to deliver undeniable evidence to the American people
<><>that government agencies are being weaponized by Democrats and the radical Left.
<><>trying anything that the Democrats may use against him
<><>tying Trump directly to information that could only have been attained from the raid.

Now, it looks like
<><>the President has moved forward with the next phase of his “drain the swamp” strategy
<><>and it begins w/ the DOJ.

Trump is Playing Master-Level Chess with Biden’s DOJ

This latest raid development is exciting to witness. Not only is it satisfying to see the President standing against the full weight and resources of the DOJ, it’s incredible because despite what people think, he’s winning.

It will be interesting to see what happens when this President with vision reveals his winning move against a corrupt Bidung govt agency that can’t see past their own corruption.

Trump isn’t just after the people at the top. He’s involved the DOJ at nearly every level in this legal process so that he can expose the corruption enmasse. The Trump filing is the latest in a complicated legal case intertwined in four venues of federal court:
<><>the Supreme Court,
<><>the 11th Circuit appeals court,
<><>U.S. District Court in southern Florida
<><>and a special master’s court in Brooklyn.

“It’s the equivalent of a judicial pileup on the highway,” said Mark Chutkow, a former federal prosecutor. The media thinks it’s just drama and stalling. Legal minds know that it’s actually a 4-D legal chess game being played between Trump and the forces at work against him in the federal government.

If the special master received the classified documents, Trump could argue that he deserved to see them, too, which could complicate any potential criminal case.......thus denied by USSC.
