GOP likely to urge Obama officials not to shred documents

Republicans are likely to urge the Obama administration not to shred documents as they transition to the House majority. 

 Before the election, GOP officials on Capitol Hill privately discussed the issue but refrained from publicly tackling it, not wanting to assume what would happen on Election Day.

 Now that Republicans will control the House, the shredding matter will move front and center.

"Shredding documents in an investigation? Why- that might be...(gasp) illegal."

Yeah, but urging someone not to shred documents before launching a formal investigation is simply telling them, you better shred everything you can now.

Ooops, too late ...

I am convinced this is why Obama hasn’t put out a good forgery of a long form birth certificate. The Hawaii records were scanned a long time ago and many many backups now exist.

Oh for f's sake.

Quit telling Al Capone you're coming for him, and you better not find any evidence of criminal activity when you get there.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

If Obama shreds documents, I’ll send in my tax return shredded!

Put the charge out there and let them deny it....

We particularly urge Obama to stop shredding the constitution.

"Each side will posture to be seen as the reasonable ones"

Conservatives won based on outrage. To now try to appear as the reasonable ones, to compromise, to become "Democrat light" is a grave error that Republicans always seem to make. STAND UP conservatives! America is mad. Use that energy to cruise to an even greater victory in 2012.
