The National Records and Archive Administration's acting archivist, Debra Steidel Wall, said in a letter to Congress Thursday that her agency would not share any information with them regarding the Department of Justice probe into documents seized by the FBI from former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida.
"I apologize if my response may not have been clear and thus caused confusion. My letter was not intended to deny the existence of such responsive documents or communications to Congress," Steidel Wall wrote to House Committee on Oversight and Reform ranking member Rep. James Comer, R-Ky. "Rather, its intent instead was to convey to you that, as a general matter, the Department of Justice has requested that NARA not share or otherwise disclose to others information related to this matter at this time in order to protect the integrity of DOJ's ongoing work.
"I also let you know that 'NARA is preserving all records related to this matter.'"
Comer and other Republicans on the committee sent a letter to NARA Aug. 30 asking for its communications with the DOJ surrounding the federal search warrant executed at the former president’s home Aug. 8 that took more than 11,000 documents, some marked "classified," "secret," or "top secret," according to Newsweek.
The committee said in its letter to NARA that it wanted "all documents and communications between any employee or agent of NARA and the FBI and Department of Justice, including the offices of the United States Attorneys, regarding former President Trump."
"On Aug. 22, 2022, 'Just the News' published a letter demonstrating robust negotiations between NARA and former President Trump's attorney, Evan Corcoran," that letter said. "Also on Aug. 22, 2022, The New York Times reported: 'the material in the boxes prompted archives officials to refer the matter to

Another agency weaponized.
The center cannot hold.
Sure would like a spotlight on the location & status of BARRY’S ‘papers”.
Doesn’t seem like a very secure operation-—over 1 1/2 ACRES of storage....OLD SEARS WAREHOUSE...Chicago.
The bureaucracy gives the finger to it’s employers.
Debbie Wall wants to screw with a President, no one allowed to stop her.
Doesn’t congress fund or defund this US communist agency?
RE: Another agency weaponized.

The Left is already working to summon the time of the “rough beast” as it is.
For save some time for some, here is the last part of William Butler Yeats The Second Coming.
somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
So much for congressional oversight and checks and balances.
“Doesn’t seem like a very secure operation-—over 1 1/2 ACRES of storage....OLD SEARS WAREHOUSE...Chicago.”
Perhaps for the same reason Hillary had all that classified info on her cell phone.
Seems like that something you shouldn’t advertise
Aww, it would be a real shame if a feral with a Bic lighter got in there some night......./s
I have a feeling that nobody really knows what’s going on with Obama’s papers. The Obama Foundation promised to digitize them within 5 years, which is why NARA backed down. However, it’s been 5 years and apparently the digitization still hasn’t been completed. WTF??!!?
Defund to zer0.
Every agency is now rogue it seems.
If all of them consider they no longer work for us, but themselves, it’s time to give them pink slips.
Shut them THE F*** DOWN.
These Government Agencies are not in charge.
Bkmk
Shredders working overtime
Did the same group as for Biden’s papers From the University of Delaware yet?
Time to defund NARA. These agencies seem to be accountable to no one.
Bill Clintoon while our president lost our nuclear codes for months!
HOME MILITARY & DEFENSE:”

The codes needed to launch a US nuclear strike are supposed to be kept close to the president at all times.
A department within the Defense Department is tasked with overseeing all aspects of the nuclear-launch process, including the codes.
During Bill Clinton’s presidency, officials from that department discovered the codes had gone missing.

re NARA - right after Trump raid they came out with a statement saying yes they had 30 million Obama documents that were being stored in the Chicago area... and another storage facility in DC that was storing Obama’s classified stuff.
