America First Legal: Obama Foundation Likely Stored Classified Docs Illegally
Breitbart ^ | 5 May 2023 | WENDELL HUSEBØ

The Obama Foundation likely stored classified presidential records illegally in a private facility at Hoffman Estates in Illinois for more than a year after President Barack Obama left the White House, according to America First Legal (AFL).

In 2018, more than a year after Obama left the White House, the National Archives (NARA) and the Obama Foundation entered into an agreement to permit the foundation to maintain possession of presidential records for the purpose of digitizing and overseeing them as part of the Obama Presidential Center, AFL alleges.

The agreement shows the Obama Foundation kept classified documents at a private facility in Hoffman Estates, AFL contends, noting that NARA moved the documents from a location in Hoffman Estates to a NARA-controlled facility in the estate to “conform with the agency’s archival storage standards.”

According to AFL, it is unknown whether the Obama Foundation’s original facility at the estate conformed with NARA’s “archival storage standards,” raising the likelihood that the foundation illegally stored classified information.

In addition, to facilitate the transaction from the original facility to a location that conformed to NARA’s standards, the Obama Foundation paid NARA $3,300,000, America First Legal asserts.

The payments present “the appearance of a conflict of interest, if NARA looked the other way upon learning that the Obama Foundation was illegally storing classified records,” the legal defense fund wrote.

AFL filed a Freedom of Information Act request on April 28 with the National Archives to ascertain the events surrounding the Obama Foundation’s storage of classified documents at the Hoffman Estates.

Along with other information, the legal defense fund requested:

The Special “Prosecutor” is harassing and threatening my people over the Document’s Hoax, while NOTHING is being done with respect to Crooked Joe Biden’s MANY TIMES MORE Documents, especially those stored in CHINATOWN & Delaware. Another RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA, style Witch Hunt. Under the Presidential Records Act, I have done everything right, except that I probably should not have returned documents until it was ALL settled. I had every right to have them, with the right, also, to Declassify...

All the supposed investigations of Hillary came to naught under Sessions and Barr. I hope that the next Republican AG has some teeth....and balls.

It was good for Obama.

Makes perfect sense to me.

Maybe. But we still need to keep the pressure on Obama and Biden. The pressure cannot only be on Trump for these damn documents with threats of charges against only Trump.

Obama Foundation is International so they’ve probably sold the off to the highest bidder.

Manu anti-trump people keep trying to convince the public that Trump is a deceptive law breaker. The problem is, he doesn’t THINK like one. He thinks and acts like an honest man, by judging others by the standard he li es by. This is what people do. They judge others by their own standards. So liars automatically are suspicious of others. Thieves want to keep everything under lock and key. Honest people take a person’s word at face value.

What does Trump do? He abides by authority = respects the law
Takes a person’s word at face value..
He just doesn’t think oŕ act like a criminaĺ. He expects people to be intelligent enough to know the difference between a direct statement and a metaphor. Not being manipulativè minded, he doesn’t expect an intelligent person to take a metaphor as a literal, and use that to harm people.

Trump isn’t a perfect man as there is no such thing, but he does his best to do the right thing, and be the best decent man he can be.

Has anyone heard a peep from Jeff Sessions since he lost his lackluster campaign for the Alabama senate?

I checked Sessions Twitter account and he hasn’t even posted there in two plus years (February of 2021). Is he still alive?
