Boxgate?: The chairwoman of the House Oversight Committee plans to “fully investigate” the appearance of 15 boxes of documents and other items at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, which should have been turned over as part of the Presidential Records Act.
“The reporting on former President Trump’s apparent removal of presidential records and his failure to turn the records over to the National Archives for over a year is deeply troubling — but not surprising,” Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) told Jackie in a statement Monday night. “I sounded the alarm in December 2020 about the danger that the former President and senior Trump Administration officials were not properly transferring presidential records to the National Archives and unfortunately, we now know that was the case.

Don’t be fooled....her real name is Caroline Baloney
Possession is 9/10ths of the law, biatch. 🤣
Ain’t Stalinism wonderful.
It’s really enlightening to find out, over time, the number of apparatchiks and bureaucratic mouse turds whose self-proclaimed duty is to “preserve our democracy” in so many diverse ways. While sleeping with a Chinese spy; infusing our intel apparatus with Russian disinfo paid for by one party to the detriment of the other; taking grift from our known enemies; and sabotaging our election process...these things are mere trivialities in the overall scheme of things. They don’t affect the integrity of our democracy at all.
The ComPost, where Democracy Dies in Darkness is their company goal and mission statement with behavior to match.
The WP again. Judicial watch just released a statement. They say that Trump broke no laws here.
Give the committee two words……..Sandy Berger.
How about what the Clintons and Obama stole?
OMG! I can't stop laughing!
And the china! Don’t forget the china!
