I don’t want to hear any more about Hillary Clinton’s emails. I hope DOJ finally holds Trump accountable for breaking laws.
I am a retired federal employee and I assure you we got many reminders about obeying the Hatch Act.
The key to the stories about Trump's serial violation of the Presidential Records Act is that he was repeatedly told he was breaking the law, but he kept doing it.

Same was true of the Hatch Act. His whole administration's attitude was that obeying the law was optional.

Scoop: National Archives last month had to retrieve boxes of Trump WH records from Mar-a-Lago that were improperly removed from the WH. The items included correspondence w Kim Jong Un. With @jdawsey1 @thamburger & @AshleyRParker > https://t.co/ZdGvEk66Zv

When I was in WH Counsel we briefed everyone on these laws.

The notion that any President would repeatedly ignore legal warnings is mind boggling.
It’s not a small thing-it’s the chief law enforcement officer declaring himself completely above the law. https://t.co/y57l08ctCq
Clinton was wrong in applying her misguided decision to create server & destroy emails. I rep'd @GOP to help expose those facts.

What Trump did is worse as it was deliberate & known disregard of US law & for malicious purposes. Now GOP is complicit in this hypocrisy. https://t.co/w3qLzdrKCh
Lot of people deserve a lot of snark over this, but in all seriousness, Democrats should launch an investigation, wholly separate from 1/6, to get to the bottom of what Trump sought to conceal by destroying documents. https://t.co/UB3kfpDUlw

Ripping and shredding papers in the Trump White House was so common that when the Jan. 6 committee asked for documents related to Trump’s pressure campaign against Pence, some couldn’t be sent over bc they had already been destroyed. https://t.co/jkoiun6dkI pic.twitter.com/KPLM0hYWDS

Crucial now for all Americans to know exactly how many and what Presidential documents were illegally taken, hidden or destroyed.

National Archives says they took 15 boxes from Mar-a-Lago last month that were supposed to be transferred by Trump at the end of the presidency. They say Trump and his team are "continuing to search for additional Presidential records that belong to the National Archives." https://t.co/0sSKI19wmc
