Ol' Becky Obama reportedly removed 30 million pages.
Are you trying to tell me that those were all declassified?
Whatever the classification, Obama's documents were never outside the custody of NARA, which still controls them in a storage facility in Chicago.
"CLAIM: Former President Barack Obama took 30 million documents, many of them classified, to Chicago upon leaving the White House.
AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. Obama administration records are exclusively held and maintained by the National Archives and Records Administration, the federal agency confirmed on Friday. Millions of unclassified documents were transferred after Obama left office to a NARA facility in Chicago, but neither Obama’s personal foundation nor the facility set to house his presidential memorabilia have control over those papers."

Obama promised the National archives that all records he took were declassified (?) and that he intended to digitize them and put them up on the net. It's been 6 yrs and nothing has been done. We have no idea what he has.

Aren't you trolling? This has been discussed in other threads and what seems like an innocent question then turns into a defend yourself - where is the proof. You're trying to get a reaction from those that support Trump. Shame on you.

Really so "millions of unclassified documents" were transferred.
Okay, so what about the "Classified" documents? And we are talking about a Government Agency here. Are you saying that there is no possibility that out of millions of documents, a few hundred documents couldn't have ended up in Obama's hands?
Nope. Nothing to say ever did. You have to understand the national archives systems and how all is categorized and logged in. Like a medical file- it all has its all tracked. Just like his phone conversations, emails, notes, meetings. It’s all tracked. If Obama had stuff they been screaming years ago.
With the Left's governmental track record of the past 6-7 years we can hold no confidence in that whatsoever.
The difference is NARA has controlled those documents, and still does. They put out a statement about that (not that anyone on the right will believe them).
What ever was declassified went through a process. Again they be screaming years ago. On another note - Bush sealed his stuff from public view an extra 50 years.
So Obama declassified EVERY one of his 30 MILLION docs and Trump didn't, right?
No other democrat or republican has done what Trump has done. Most presidents have respected the office of president and have followed the protocol for the office. Trump is the only one who does not think he has to adhere to any process. He has proven this over and over.
