    A nothingburger in terms of implications - but at the core, none of this would have happened if Trump wasn't acting like a man child.

    What's the saying - play stupid games win stupid prizes.

      See, if Barry didn't have boxes of stuff he shouldn't have, I might concede your point. The fact is that all former Presidents have taken all sorts of papers.

      What you're getting is hyper-scrutiny of all things Trump, from government bureaucrats to the MSM. Then folks like you come along and hear the constant drumbeat of Bad Trump, Bad Trump, Bad Trump and then you're conditioned to always think the worst.

      You've been manipulated...

        Clinton took the furniture

        and the Ws

        But that wasn't gold plated so the Trumps wouldn't want it

          I think you have to concede the point. LOL

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

            No you wouldn't, because your views are based on your feels, not on any evidence or facts.

            What other president refused to cooperate with the national archives? What other president lied to them repeatedly, both verbally and in writing?

            As I said months ago, if the fat man had simply cooperated, he wouldn't be in any trouble right now. At least for this.

              Who else has been hounded for documents that other Presidents had?

              There is a standard for Trump. Then, there is a standard for everybody else.

                @Jolly

                1). Surely they aren't the same documents. And other presidents (and Secretaries of State!) have been asked to return materials and have cooperated and done so.

                2). We can't judge double standards, no other presidents that I'm aware of have refused to cooperate and publicly and in writing lied to the federal government about documents they've taken. If you are aware of counter examples, do let me know.

                            Makes perfect sense. It will delay things but it’s better to firewall it from the administration.

                                          True, a mouse would need ideological blinders to not notice the difference between working with the National Archives vs working against them and repeatedly lying about it.
