"SNIP.......

Donald Trump posted this to his social network just after Attorney General Merrick Garland asked a judge to unseal the search warrant:

“I continue to ask, what happened to the 33 Million pages of documents taken to Chicago by President Obama? The Fake News Media refuses to talk about that. They want it CANCELED!”

......SNIP"

3. errr... 33 million...

Fucking delusional

[vlyons]

23. a new meme

but what about his 33 million documents? ---

[haele]

45. 33 million pages. Sounds like copies of documents going to the presidential library...

The ACA associated document copied going to the Obama Presidential Library themselves will probably total close to a million pages.

By the way, 33 million prices of regular 8x11.5 paper weighs 2 tons.

That's pretty hard to sneak out of the White House.

5. Conflating Obama's honesty with his illegal actions. His base will

not know the difference.

[SWBTATTReg]

6. desperately trying to deflect, and of all people, used Obama. Moron. You picked one of the most

The red herrings are starting to stink. Time to take out the trash.

[doc03]

10. Only 33 million, I thought it was 50 million. nt

[Bleacher Creature]

31. Why not make it a cool one billion?

[MiniMe]

37. They are in the same place as Hillary's 33 thousand emails

Russia, if you're listening....

[RKP5637]

11. Trump, the gaslighting moron that never stops giving. n/t

[ok_cpu]

12. So, we're to believe that President Obama

rolled away from the WH with, what, an 18-wheeler with 6,600 cases of paper in it?

He did get Obama and Chicago in there. He must be going for bingo.

[RAB910]

13. If they were important, that would mean Trump was

A shit president because he did nothing about it

[highplainsdem]

14. Aaron Rupar calls it weak whataboutism:

Nerd humor is the greatest!

[ProfessorGAC]

48. Excuse Me, But...

...I prefer the term Poindexter!

[jcgoldie]

17. Isn't that how many emails Hillary supposedly deleted or something?

Or is it how many angry democrats worked for Robert Mueller? I just can't keep up.

[niyad]

24. that was 33,000.

[ecstatic]

28. I can't. nt

[Mr.Bill]

18. Were these documents perhaps

headed to Obama's presidential library? These presidential libraries are loaded with documents.

[DemocraticPatriot]

40. And the documents in Obama's library came there THROUGH the national archives,

and remain the property of the national archives. All 100% legal and proper, of course.


Trump, not so much...

[Mr.Bill]

41. I doubt Trump

will ever have a presidential library.

[Emile]

19. He's so persecuted. .

[LakeArenal]

20. Do the Republicans have anyone from this decade to blame?

[mainer]

21. Which means Trump must have 33 million pages squirreled away

Since he's so specific about that number. He's always accusing others of what he's done.

[Beachnutt]

25. .

[OneGrassRoot]

26. Is this a new conspiracy...

or did he just pull it out of his ass. A Google search turned up nothing but a DU thread from a few minutes ago. lol

[allegorical oracle]

30. Was wondering the same thing. Could he be confusing Hillary's emails with Obama? Dementia? nt

[OneGrassRoot]

33. Or docs for Obama's library...

something he’ll never have?

😂

[Mr. Ected]

27. It's a dog whistle to his followers

To invent a parallel stolen document scheme to deflect from his own.

Media will likely give it equal time.

[jonstl08]

34. Obama'a was legal

What I read is Obama's team received the documents from the national archives and took possession of them including ensuring they were secure. They were copied digital and then the originals returned to the National Archives. Oh and the Obama team paid the national archive for it.

[CanonRay]

35. Obama did have documents transferred to hi1s library

but they were transferred by the National Archives! In fact his library foundation is paying the Archives to digitalize the records. All completely legal and above board.

[Ms. Toad]

38. From WaPo (with a link), for anyone who wants more detail:

As with many issues of government transparency and document-sharing, it’s true that this is not great! You often have to wait years for requested documents, and this appears to be no exception. There was also plenty of criticism of the decision to break with precedent and digitize the documents, rather than house them physically in a traditional library.

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.
