Crisis at the National Archives (Obama records missing)
Real Clear Politics ^ | June 10, 2018 | Thomas Lipscomb

Posted on 06/10/2018 3:05:08 PM PDT by COUNTrecount

In the middle of directing the difficult task of transferring the historically important records of the Obama administration into the National Archives, the archivist in charge, David Ferriero, ran into a serious problem: A lot of key records are missing.

A first-rate librarian, Ferriero has been driving a much-needed digital overhaul and expansion of the National Archives over the nine years of his appointment. This will greatly improve the ability of digital search locally and remotely, as well as accessing the files themselves.

To support this effort, in 2014 President Obama signed the Presidential and Federal Records Act Amendments. For the first time electronic government records were placed under the 1950 Federal Records Act. The new law also included updates clarifying "the responsibilities of federal government officials when using non-government email systems" and empowering "the National Archives to safeguard original and classified records from unauthorized removal.” Additionally, it gives the Archivist of the United States the final authority in determining just what is a government record.

And yet the accumulation of recent congressional testimony has made it clear that the Obama administration itself engaged in the wholesale destruction and “loss” of tens of thousands of government records covered under the act as well as the intentional evasion of the government records recording system by engaging in private email exchanges. So far, former President Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former Attorney General Lynch and several EPA officials have been named as offenders. The IRS suffered record “losses” as well. Former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy called it “an unauthorized private communications system for official business for the patent purpose of defeating federal record-keeping and disclosure laws.”

Democrats lose more documents, and more evidence than what could be reasonably attribute to random statistical chance.

Obama records are missing? Good. Maybe we can delete, ignore, and forget the whole eight miserable years of the Obama regime.

Considering all the earlier records on the Kenyan fraud that mysteriously vanished, what is the surprise?

Maybe we can re-create the Obama missing records from memory. Week one. He played 2 rounds of golf.

Week two. He played only one round of golf and jetted off to Chicago to eat fried chicken.

Week three. He began his blame America first tour. Going around the world to apologize for America.

Seriously. Obama's trail of missing records is like Hillary's trail of corpses.
