With the National Archives now at the center of a historic fight over records between the current and former president, the two people who once ran that agency are both condemning Trump administration officials for trying to keep documents secret.
Don W. Wilson and John W. Carlin each had years-long stints as the official archivist of the United States, overseeing the massive effort of sorting through presidential records that tell the countrys story.
And theyre dismayed at former President Donald Trumps aggressive attempts to keep his White House records locked away from the special congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrectionand his potential role in it.
Given how frantic they are... there are things in those records that are going to make real trouble. Im talking about prison time, Carlin mused to The Daily Beast. It reinforces the fact that they know they're in real trouble if these things are releasedparticularly if theyre released soon.

We need ACTION - and it must come from government agencies, especially the DOJ!
