Man, I wish they'd told us about this in class when I was getting my degree. It'd make getting overdue books back SOOOO much easier...

First off, unless you’ve been deep in a cave in the remote jungle or desert somewhere for the past week, you may have heard of a perfectly normal ordinary tourist visit that the FBI made to Mar-a-Lago this week. After their visit, they left with many souvenirs to remember their visit by, including what appear to be some very exclusive and hard to get (dare I say, even a bit treasonous?) collectibles.

Why did the FBI visit Donnie down at MaL? Because the librarians had the receipts.

The archivists at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) had evidence that dear Donnie had not been truthful about his having turned over all the classified documents he waltzed out of the White House with after his term ended.

So the FBI paid him a little social call.

Donald, of course, proceeded to whine that Obama had taken MILLIONS of documents when he left, so what’s the big deal? MILLIONS, I SAY!

NARA was all, “Really, bro? That’s the best you got?” and issued this statement today:

The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) assumed exclusive legal and physical custody of Obama Presidential records when President Barack Obama left office in 2017, in accordance with the Presidential Records Act (PRA). NARA moved approximately 30 million pages of unclassified records to a NARA facility in the Chicago area, where they are maintained exclusively by NARA. Additionally, NARA maintains the classified Obama Presidential records in a NARA facility in the Washington, D.C., area. As required by the PRA, former President Obama has no control over where and how NARA stores the Presidential records of his Administration.

Don’t mess with the librarians, dude.

Apparently the FBI raid is part of an investigation launched by the National Archives and Records Administration. That’s right, he gonna get taken down by the librarians! Oh, they’re comin’ for ya, baby! They’re organized, they know where everything is, and you never know which way they’re comin’, cuz they’re so quiet . They are silent but deadly.

And yes, as a matter of fact I do own a patch vest similar to this.

Don’t mess with people whose literal job is to know stuff, and how to find information. FAFO, Donnie.
