| Mr. Trump broke the law. After President Richard M. Nixon's
| resignation, Congress passed a number of laws intended to
| preserve the integrity of documents and other materials
| from Nixon's presidency, and made the laws applicable to
| all future presidents. The Presidential Records Act of 1978
| ended the practice of records belonging to former
| presidents and declared that the United States shall
| "reserve and retain complete ownership, possession, and
| control of presidential records." The law requires a
| president to "take all such steps as may be necessary" to
| make sure the records are preserved -- an important pillar
| of accountability in a democracy and also essential for
| historical understanding of the presidency.
|
| Mr. Trump cannot plead ignorance. He was warned about the
| legal requirements by White House counsel Donald McGahn and
| by two chiefs of staff, Reince Priebus and John F. Kelly.
| Internal memos to the White House staff also warned in 2017
| that destroying presidential records is a federal crime. On
| Wednesday, The Post reported that NARA had asked the
| Justice Department to examine Mr. Trump's handling of the
| records. Also, the National Security Archive, a nonprofit
| research group at George Washington University that filed
| lawsuits earlier seeking to protect documents of the Trump
| era, and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in
| Washington, a nonprofit government accountability group,
| sent a letter this week to the Justice Department calling
| for an investigation. Unfortunately, the records act lacks
| teeth, although other laws impose criminal penalties for
| willful destruction of records. As Tom Blanton, director of
| the nonprofit archive group, put it in 2020, we must
| "prevent any bonfire of records in the Rose Garden."

Time for a search warrant to be served on Trump.

The National Archives did not get all of the classified information that Trump
stole from the White House and took with him to Mar a Stinko. That's why we
need the search warrants. Merrick Garland needs to get on this *now*. Trump's
residence and offices at Trump Tower need to be searched, too.

Yea, yea ... just keep waving that between everybody
and the giant Hillary/(Obama?) spying scandal .....
