[Mr. K]

Obama signed this to hide all his records.

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.

[TexasGurl24]

Because it only applies to records kept by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). Please at least read what you are posting.

[John 3_19-21]

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.

Only certain records are affected:
[quote]
(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.

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.

BUMP

[funfan]

I believe it would as it says “Former or Incumbent President”.

Partner, the MSM still will not read the Constitution of the U.S. which says that nobody can see my tax returns and vice versa. The MSM is totally clueless, but of course, every Freeper definitely knows that!

Here, Jerry, take THAT and stuff it up your nadler

“Why doesn’t it apply to Trump?”

It does. The Mediacrats just don’t want to say anything that can help Trump.
