Trumps records are sealed by Obama's executive order

It is his VERY FIRST executive order.
Why doesn't it apply to Trump?
Release Obama’s college transcripts: no can’t do that, privacy; Release Obama’s college applications: no can’t do that, privacy; Release Obama’s college papers: no can’t do that, privacy; Release Obama’s passport and travel visa info: no can’t do that, privacy; Release Obama’s application for new SSN: no can’t do that, privacy; Release Obama’s full Birth Certificate: no can’t do that, privacy, but here’s a sham of a copy.
Raid Trump’s lawyer’s office: no problem; Tap Trump’s phones: no problem; Bug Trump’s offices: done and done; Leak Trump’s tax docs: no problem; Track down Trump’s old hookers: here you go.
It should and Trump should throw that up in their faces.
Spread this around
Because it only applies to records kept by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). Please at least read what you are posting.
Because Trump was not “properly” chosen.
Nice find.
(d) If the President decides to invoke executive privilege, the Counsel to the President shall notify the former President, the Archivist, and the Attorney General in writing of the claim of privilege and the specific Presidential records to which it relates. After receiving such notice, the Archivist shall not disclose the privileged records unless directed to do so by an incumbent President or by a final court order.
Unless Trump made an exec order that cancelled this, it’s still in force and active.
Only certain records are affected:

(b) ‘‘NARA’’ refers to the National Archives and Records Administration.
(c) ‘‘Presidential Records Act’’ refers to the Presidential Records Act, 44
U.S.C. 2201–2207.
(d) ‘‘NARA regulations’’ refers to the NARA regulations implementing
the Presidential Records Act, 36 C.F.R. Part 1270.
(e) ‘‘Presidential records’’ refers to those documentary materials maintained
by NARA pursuant to the Presidential Records Act, including Vice Presi
dential records.
You really want posters to read what they post?
If you read the EO you posted a link to, it only applies to the Archivist of the United States.
And it doesn’t prevent disclosure, it simply requires the archivist to give the President a 30 days notice, so that the President can claim executive privelege.
And even then it allows disclosure if a “final court order” (One in which there is no appeal) has been received.
Does that mean that President Trump could instruct the Archivist to reveal Obama’s sealed records to himself and the AG while sealing his own?
I think it does.
Read more closely yourself
I think the Obama dam is about to break soon.
I read it. You obviously didn’t.
You missed the fine print too.
It applies to anything he wants it to.
BUMP
No. It doesn't.
"Presidential Records" has a specific definition in the order.
(e) "Presidential records" refers to those documentary materials maintained by NARA pursuant to the Presidential Records Act, including Vice Presidential records.
The Fraud’s handlers are no doubt preparing his next attack speech against our president.
We need to go all 3rd world war on these treasonous democrats.
If we don’t, we lose America for sure.
