Judicial Watch’s effort to gain access to documents related to the unmasking of American citizens during Obama’s term in office has been dealt a blow because of the transfer of the materials from the National Security Council to Obama’s Presidential Library.
The items will then be unavailable to independent investigators for up to five years.
Where exactly were the documents deposited? Obama’s library won’t be completed till 2020 or 2021. So where are these materials being stored and is it a secured facility?
If the National Security Council didn’t keep copies, we’ll never see what Rice and Obama did. 5 years or at anytime in the future.
I hope Judicial Watch files another suit based on the argument that documents that had been legitimately subject to Freedom of Information Act requests cannot be sheltered therefrom merely by a change in what organization holds them. I can just imagine, for extreme example, the DOJ sending documents to the NIH for storage in patient databases.
ah yes …. the ‘most open & transparent Administration in history’
… about as transparent & open as any communist regime in history
The actual building looks much as I anticipated. it would. Their excuse for not allowing access has a great deal of bovine droppings in it.
“They” won’t get away with it. You can’t legally play a shell game with official gov’t docs. This would have been like Nixon sending the 18 mins. of tape to his “Library.” Same thing.
“They” won’t get away with it.
Sure they will. Who is going to stop them? When have they ever not gotten away with their illegal shit?
… on another note …. Handel is winning in GA
We the people own those documents, not Barack the shyster. Donald will unearth this. And the American people will rip this Kenyan imposter to shreds
Handel wins!!!!
Anybody want to bet that those documents have already been “lost” and run through a shredder a few times?
NBC forced to call it
ha ha ha
Sounds like a job for Sandy Burglar.
Ossoff concedes
Jon Ossoff is ranting on CNN as if he won???
Don Lemon visibly upset. John King very sad, “splain’ what they have to do next year to win. Larry Sabato “depressing for Democrats.” Indeed.
Not true, the President can request them. The Five year rule does not apply in this case because there is no library. They belong to the American People and must be returned.
He doesn’t even have a frickin library yet. This is pretty brazen, almost desperate. You need to hound the hell out of him, PDT. We have had it up to here with Dems and secret servers in their basement. Please tell me the State Department doesn’t have a SCIF in Kalorama Kastle.
Tiger Eyes I hope you’re right. This shit should not happen.
If Obama can get sealed court records opened as he did in Illinois, surely Trump can get Obama’s sealed “presidential records” opened as well.
I wish this administration would get on the offensive. They’re letting too many things slide by. Never seen a more target rich environment.
