Archives Think Trump Could STILL Be Hoarding Docs, Panel Says

The FBI needs to search Bedminster and Trump Tower



https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/national-archives-trump-still-hoarding-docs-1234591937/

THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES suspect that former President Donald Trump could still be retaining documents that should have been turned over to the archives, according to a letter from the House Committee on Oversight and Reform.

Committee Chair Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) indicated in the letter, which was sent to National Archives (NARA) archivist Debra Steidel Wall, that “NARA’s staff recently informed the Committee that the agency is not certain whether all presidential records are in its custody.”

Maloney expressed concerns that the former president failed to hand over all of the documents in his possession on three separate occasions: at the conclusion of his term as president, after receiving a request from NARA in May of 2021, and after receiving a grand jury subpoena in May 2022.

The committee also urged NARA to seek “written certification that [Trump] has surrendered all presidential records or classified materials, has not made any copies or reproductions of such materials, and has not transferred any records or government documents to any party other than NARA or DOJ since his term ended.”

All of his properties need to be searched. Trump is a criminal and a national security threat.

What is the DOJ doing?

3. But he claims to have taken nothing of consequence.

edit: Yes, he is a walking crime scene. He has publicly confessed to enough crimes to warrant suspicion. All properties, electronics, friends, wardrobe items, fixtures, acquaintances, automobiles, golf carts, golf bags, and houseplants need to be searched, if not already wired. (That would be double-secret probation.)

4. We've known this since the last raid. But no one seems to be doing much about it.

Cue the posters who always want to know: "What are YOU doing about it."

Bonkers, I know. But they're around.

At least one of those posters allegedly has acquaintances at The Very Highest Levels of Government™! Who knows how much influence they have and what they could get them to do to anyone who criticizes them? (Spoilers: None, and nothing.)

5. Very high probability Trump has not turned over all the classified material.

Actually about 100% chance he still has documents.

I base this upon his psych profile (sociopath and narcissist), his long time criminal history,
and his desperate need for attention, power, control and revenge.

7. I'm staggered that we're treating this guy with kid gloves.

This has to be the biggest national security breach in our history & he's still walking free, shooting off his mouth, & who knows what else. WTF?
