#1 If the press, and the judiciary, are on your side - you can get away with anything, eh?

#3 CONFIRMED: Trump Can Get The Unmasking Records Out of Obama Library

Excerpt: "From the Archives website:

“§ 2205. Exceptions to restricted access

(2) subject to any rights, defenses, or privileges which the United States or any agency or person may invoke, Presidential records shall be made available–

(A) pursuant to subpoena or other judicial process issued by a court of competent jurisdiction for the purposes of any civil or criminal investigation or proceeding;

(B) to an incumbent President if such records contain information that is needed for the conduct of current business of the incumbent President’s office and that is not otherwise available; and

(C) to either House of Congress, or, to the extent of matter within its jurisdiction, to any committee or subcommittee thereof if such records contain information that is needed for the conduct of its business and that is not otherwise available; and”

There are a number of ways the Trump administration can choose to get at the records. Importantly, the House Intelligence Committee subpoenas should still bear fruit. Devin Nunes might just have to add the Obama Library and the national Archivist to the subpoena list."

#4 Trump and Congress should go after these records just to p!ss-off the opposition and to push criminal charges. From what VRWC posted, it seems like a slam dunk case except for the usual gnashing of teeth and whining by the Dems, the RINOs and the legacy media.

#5 I seem to recall the retirement of official records comes at the end of the fiscal year.

#6 I find the phrasing 'removed to' rather ambiguous, as the Obama Library will be all electronic copies.
