    A lot of reports coming out now that it is nuclear
    So let's ask a question here.....

    With Trump being in office for FOUR YEARS, did he ever bother to investigate or have an FBI (filled with his cronies, mind you) have Obama served with a subpoena as to what those documents were? No.

    Question, debate, whataboutquestion, answered.

    Again, the documents never left the possession of the federal government. You really need to stop just buying what Trump tells you without question.

    Trump baselessly bashed Obama for transferring records from the White House to Chicago. Here's why Obama was allowed while Trump is under scrutiny by the FBI.

    The difference between what Obama did and what Trump did is that Obama followed the law and Trump didn't.

    I'm not sure. I guess after January 6th, I should have disabused myself of that notion. But it remains hard to believe people are this brainwashed and fervent.

    Your post is complete nonsense. The documents were always under the control of the national archive. The source of this quote is wait for it. . . Donald Trump. It’s complete garbage. Try to post something true once in a while.

    Okay, but how do we know they didn't write the law that way knowing that Obama would follow it and Trump wouldn't? Shouldn't they make laws so very stupid, selfish, and malicious people can understand them? This is clearly a conspiracy.

    If he was selling or even stole nuclear secrets I hope they shoot him out of a cannon into a brick wall.

    Obama did nothing illegal. His records were moved by the National Archives, and Obama is paying for storage plus security until his library is open. Your Post is an opinion piece that doesn't connect the two at all.

    From the WaPo piece.

    But that doesn’t mean it bears any resemblance to what prompted the Trump search. As was reported back in late 2016, the Obama team was transferring the records to Chicago through the National Archives, which legally owns the documents once a president leaves office. Once the documents ultimately reached a warehouse in Chicago, the Obama Foundation was then due to pay the National Archives and Record Administration to digitize the documents. The lengthiness of that process aside, there isn’t the faintest hint of legal violations — nor does the Post’s story suggest as much.

    Apples and oranges. Obama’s documents were shipped directly to a federal facility in Chicago under the supervision of the National Archives, who catalogued them and gave what was appropriate to Obama for his library. Which is exactly how it should have been handled.

    Trump baselessly bashed Obama for transferring records from the White House to Chicago. Here's why Obama was allowed while Trump is under scrutiny by the FBI.

    Seems off. If he had top secret nuclear information on the US programs, why wouldn’t the FBI be on top of that immediately? My guess is that Kim wrote him a love letter about NK nuclear ambitions.

    Nuclear is a broad topic so I wouldn’t get to exited, yet.
    Either he thought the documents were cool, they made him look bad or someone told him that he couldn’t, so he did.
    Maybe it was schematics for bringing Ivana back using nukes, or bear with me, to protect South Florida from a hurricane.

    Now that we know it was highly classified nuclear secrets, this makes more sense from earlier today:


    Some senior Republicans have been warned by allies of Mr. Trump not to continue to be aggressive in criticizing the Justice Department and the F.B.I. over the matter because it is possible that more damaging information about Mr. Trump related to the search will eventually become public.

    Yeah, there isn't anything he could do that trumps giving classified information to the Russians, and he has already done that. At this point everyone knows who he is, and they have made their choice about whether or not to support him.

    Remember when W mispronouncing Nuclear was a big hoohah? The GOP has really evolved from that on the nuclear front.
