"Preserve, Protect, and Defend" Laws: Except Illegally Ripping Up W/H Documents

The White House Can't Seem to Abide by the Laws of the Land 

in this Case, or so It Seems

Introductory Note: Key extract from the current law (my emphasis): “The Presidential Records Act (PRA) of 1978, 44 U.S.C. ß2201-2209: “Allows the incumbent President to dispose of records that no longer have administrative, historical, informational, or evidentiary value, once the views of the Archivist of the United States on the proposed disposal have been obtained in writing.”

My 2 Cents: As noted in the law citation above, did Mr. Trump get the Archivist’s approval in writing before he went into his “ripping rage attack on official records and such?” And, is this Congress paying attention – at all?  Apparently the W/H staff has a ton of scotch tape on hand for his “rant and rip ritual?”

How can he who took the oath to preserve, protect, and defend the laws of the land if he breaks the laws of the land like in this case?

Lock ‘im up – lock ‘im up and throw away the key.
