National Archives asks Justice Department to investigate Trump's handling of White House records (enemies, Obama)

[GotHereQuickAsICould]

There is plenty of evidence, tons of evidence in fact.

I too wonder why he hasn't been charged, indicted, etc.

The law says every scrap of paper in the White House goes to the Archives. Even text messages. The NARA is the decider. All communication generated during a term belongs to the people of the USA. That includes photographs in peoples offices.

There is a bill waiting for passage that says any POTUS who ignores it does not get help from the Archives when collecting exhibits for their presidential library.

Wrong. There are exemptions, which I'd previously pointed out in this thread along with a link to the laws.

Just when you think this clown can't do any more damage, he takes records, some classified, rips them up and keeps them in Maralago. Wasn't he the same person during the election campaign to slam Hillary for not disclosing her e-mails and archiving them? Didn't he say it was a crime not to turn over records for archives? Just one in a long line of great things from DT...........

Are we going to see headlines on CBS News like this when an investigation shows he did nothing wrong?? Of course we won't.

This thread is not about Hillary Clinton. Stay on topic please.

It is crazy how much they fear Trump for the simple fact that he struck a cord with half the country and dared to call out the swamp of DC.



If the Dems could impeach a private citizen they would do it with Trump.

Why?

Because what Trump did was clearly illegal. Clearly, and there is no excuse.

If it’s so clear, where’s the proof?

If there was evidence that meant anything he’d be charged. Feelings don’t equal evidence.

Clearly? All the stories I've read about this say: "sources say" "might be" "probably"

All I can find are allegations and hearsay.

If there was evidence, he'd be charged with a crime. You answered your own question.

Read the Presidential Records act. If you can't see the proof when it's right in front of your face, then your eyes are closed.
