Just a reminder how this whole thing started.
William Bosanko. the very self-important CEO of NARA, told House Intel what triggered their inquiry into missing presidential records was the fact Trump didn't give them the transition letter from Obama and letter from Kim Jong Un.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Bosanko then claimed there was a list of missing items. When pressed by Rep. Stefanik for the list, he said there wasn't one. Kept referring to 2 letters 😂
Bosanko also tried to evade answering questions about specificity of "missing" Trump records.
DOJ "put him on notice" that the matter was under investigation:
Bosanko uses the ruse of Obama/Kim letters to warn Team Trump they are violating PRA. Instead of telling NARA to pound sand, the very uncooperative Team Trump hands over 15 boxes to NARA.
Bosanko then claims to have found classified material.
Refers matter to DOJ thru IG.
He then admits it is the FIRST TIME he's referred a former president (my guess is first time ever) to DOJ for a criminal investigation. Of course he did so for Biden and Pence as a CYA.
After admitting Trump probably did not pack the boxes (no duh) and it's a rush job after a defeat, Bosanko says he wasn't notified the boxes contained classified documents. Because they either weren't (which I am assuming) or Team Trump didn't know either. How is this a crime?
