Former President Trump took a bunch of records from his administration with him when he left the White House, the Washington Post reported Monday — forcing the National Archives to trek down to Mar-a-Lago to retrieve them.
Gee…after four years of being told about the Records Act, again and again and again, to the point of having staff whose jobs were taping shredded documents together again, you’d think even the toddler would catch on.
(And, in fact, he did – he mentioned the Records Act when he was pissed off that Nancy Pelosi ripped up his gawdawful SOTU speech on teevee.)
Anyone want to put money on the Records folks having to take those “love letters” out of (gilded) picture frames?
Just extend your fingers donald and you’ll have that salute down pat. Just like that German with the funny mustache.
edit
A correction to that book cover… trump is NOT president. He is a defeated ex-president. Lets be clear here.
Do NARA people have badges? I mean, how did they get past security at Mar-A-Lago?
NARA folks are basically extreme librarians, right? Librarians are the best.
Memo to the Don - when you don’t want the documents found the Hudson River is a good destination for them (along with those who know too much about them).
Donnie is a thief, through and through. Always has been, always will be.
All I want for Valentine’s Day this year is to see that love letter published so that all of America can see!
Items also discovered were dozens of pieces of WH furniture, the Silver Set, various busts and statues, and crates of WH soaps and shampoos.
Antiques Road Show, 2050: “My great grandfather stole these documents from the White House. What are they worth now?”
In the aftermath of the Trump Presidency it’s apparent there are all sorts of laws and regulations saying a President is obligated or legally required to do, or not do, certain things both during and after their term. It’s also apparent enforcement mechanisms holding Presidents to those requirements are nearly non-existent, and where they do exist the relevant authorities are loathe to employ them.
Trump advisers described the former president’s decision to hang on to the records as not nefarious
And we should believe Trump advisers because their veracity has been proven again and again.
for librarians.
I have long maintained that there is a special place set aside in Hell for people who make things difficult for librarians.
Nothing but endless criminality, contempt for the rule of law and attempts to undermine the will of the people.
Yep, Republicans sure know a true Conservative when they see one!
Lol, after the story about his DJing at mar a lago this weekend, I was like, “what White House vinyl did he steal?” 
. It’s too early on a Monday…
A little (just a little) like when Hillary had a private email server, except I doubt that this will get breaking news coverage for the rest of the year.
And yet they insisted if HRC won that the silverware should be counted before she took residence.
Projection is the only thing these morons have. I don’t know why America keeps playing into them.
You forgot the towels and ashtrays.
Remember how upset republicans were that Clintons took furniture and gifts when they left the White House. First taking documents is worse and second you KNOW he took gifts and probably furniture too.
Yes we will be lucky to get him on a single count of anything.
I know I have received sneers from folks on this site about Hatch Act violations, but his whole presidency was one rolling Hatch Act violation. The actual POTUS himself is not subject to various Hatch Act regulations, but everyone else is. Plus, a POTUS is NOT immune when using COERCION, if he uses his office to pressure people into using Govt. assets for campaign purposes, etc. If you remember, he used the WH for every damn campaign event he could including the RNC convention.
(he either used sealed venues where he never had to face a single hostile voter, or went the even easier route of just using the WH and all the amenities as his campaign prop)
Trump advisers described the former president’s decision to hang on to the records as not nefarious, the Post said.
Bullshit! I guess recidivism does not exist in such rarified air.
