National Archives Rebuts Baseless Donald Trump Statements About Barack Obama and Classified Documents
MATT NAHAM Aug 12th, 2022, 3:14 pm

Days after the FBI’s search of his Mar-a-Lago home for classified documents, at least some of which reportedly relate to nuclear weapons, former President Donald Trump attempted to shift attention to former President Barack Obama. Trump’s Truth Social posts insinuated that he is being politically targeted and uniquely persecuted unlike his predecessor, but the National Archives rebutted that on Friday in a statement.


The Thursday post from the former president on his own social media platform began by asking: “What happened to the 30 million pages of documents taken from the White House to Chicago by Barack Hussein Obama?”

“He refused to give them back!” Trump claimed, before wondering whether an Obama residence would be raided sometime soon. “What is going on? This act was strongly at odds with NARA. Will they be breaking into Obama’s ‘mansion’ in Martha’s Vineyard?”

Trump allies promptly circulated the post.



On Friday, Trump posted again, this time asserting without evidence that Obama “kept” classified documents pertaining to “nuclear.”

How the National Archives Responded

The National Archives or NARA saw fit to respond directly on Friday about what happened to the “30 million pages of unclassified documents” (emphasis ours).

The agency said it “assumed exclusive legal and physical custody of Obama Presidential records when President Barack Obama left office in 2017, in accordance with the Presidential Records Act (PRA).”

The statement further said that classified records from the Obama presidency are located in a NARA facility in Washington, D.C., and are not under the 44th president’s control.

“NARA moved approximately 30 million pages of unclassified records to a NARA facility in the Chicago area where they are maintained exclusively by NARA. Additionally, NARA maintains the classified Obama Presidential records in a NARA facility in the Washington, DC, area,” the statement said. “As required by the PRA, former President Obama has no control over where and how NARA stores the Presidential records of his Administration.”

You posted it in the other thread too...where I'm rolling my eyes and laughing.

I posted at least one article (perhaps two???) that refutes what you posted in both threads.

If you say so champ.

How much longer are we going to beat this dead horse?

 

[RayGravesGhost]

That would depend on how long you want to keep on posting the fake news information you believe

No its your fault that you're dumb 🤣

[RayGravesGhost]

Wasn't a statement to make you feel bad...its a statement of fact

You believe Obama took 30 million documents bypassing the National Archive because some republican politicians & pundits said so.

The statement of facts from the National Archive says those are lies

You can choose what you want to believe but that does with the consequence of being called dumb for being the liars

That's how it works in real life...sorry

You're getting boring.

And I said 30 million, eh? That's what the Republican politician or pundit told me? You sure about that champ?

No the authors of the fake news story about the $36 million, Obama, & NARA claim the 30 million records figure.

So you only believe part of that fake news story? The $36 million?

You're not boring your dumb

And you're too lazy to research anything you post...
It just has to fit you're partisan narrative

Hence why you're so gullible

Wake up bama....wake up

Those were two different links, two different stories and two separate points you dolt.

It's probably important to be as smart as the guy that you refer to as dumb. JMO

And you're still boring.

 

[RayGravesGhost]

You do, of course, realize that the reason Obama was in the position to spend the $36 million was because he and his admin used a different system and a different protocol to store these very same documents.

Instead of printing them on paper or sending through the normal White House/Executive Branch system, they used their own system.

Why did they do that? So they wouldn't have to turn the documentation over. It was the same type of information...just processed and formatted differently.

...and they refused to turn it over to National Archives.

Just food for thought.

Your own words expose you as a liar

 

[BamaFan1137]

Your own words expose you as a liar

LMAO...no, they actually don't.

Is this an act? Are you actually this crazy or retarded or are you just pretending for funzees?

Again, two separate stories, issues and links. If you don't want to read them, fine...but then stop commenting on them like you have.

You are making a mockery of yourself...like when you claim that I support things that I haven't even heard about yet. Calm down and take the medicine that your doctor has provided you with.
