Is the Obama Foundation Storing Classified Docs Inside a Former Furniture Warehouse? Read This Letter

By Elizabeth Stauffer

A September 2018 letter from the Obama Foundation to then-Archivist of the United States David S. Ferriero has some of us scratching our heads over the FBI’s unprecedented Aug. 8 raid on former President Donald Trump’s home in South Florida.

In the letter, the executive director of the Obama Foundation, Robbin Cohen, discusses the terms under which the foundation would work with the National Archives and Records Administration to safeguard presidential materials while it digitized the records.

Meanwhile, the facility housing the material has been described in published reports as a “warehouse” and “former furniture store.” It also sounds none too secure.

In the letter, Cohen stated that the material contains classified records and artifacts and that they were currently being stored at a facility in Hoffman Estates, a municipality outside Chicago. He explained the material would be moved to facilities that “conform to the agency’s archival storage standards,” which certainly sounds like an admission that the Hoffman Estates site did not conform to NARA’s storage standards.

Cohen wrote, “The Obama Foundation agrees to transfer up to three million three hundred thousand dollars ($3,300,000) to the National Archives Trust Fund (NATF) to support the move of classified and unclassified Obama Presidential records and artifacts from Hoffman Estates to NARA-controlled facilities that conform to the agency’s archival storage standards for such records and artifacts, and for the modification of such spaces. The first transfer of $300,000 was already made on August 9, 2018. An additional interim transfer will be made within 180 days of that date. Subsequent payments are subject to the negotiation of terms of the digitization process and museum operations.” (Emphasis added.)

Yet, five years later, the records are still being stored at a location that apparently does not “conform to the agency’s archival storage standards.”

On Aug. 8 of this year, just days before the FBI’s raid on Trump’s home in Palm Beach County’s Mar-a-Lago Club, The Daily Herald, a suburban Chicago newspaper that covers the village of Hoffman Estates, reported:

“While no firm date has been announced for the completion and opening of the Barack Obama Presidential Library near the University of Chicago, its future contents will stay in Hoffman Estates for four more years. Village board members unanimously approved an extension to the special-use permit that enables landlord Hoffman Estates Medical Development LLC to lease the 74,200-square-foot former Plunkett Furniture store at 2500 W. Golf Road to the National Archives and Records Administration through Dec. 31, 2026.”

Laws do not apply to Democrats, as the shutdowns, the OP issue, and even handicapped parking continue to show us.

Put up a public poll asking board members whether you or I are a more credible and forthright poster, and then let's discuss the results.

Then it should be easy for you to prove them wrong. Of course I'll understand if you can't.

Primavera by a long shot.

Of course not. But they thought Hunter's laptop was "Russian Disinformation " and we all know how that turned out.

The stupid is strong with this one. He's about a month behind the times with that nonsense. Hannity was making that claim right after the Mar A Lago raid. As if using proper protocol to obtain documents for a future Presidential Library is newsworthy?


I don't remember seeing anything about Obama requesting/receiving highly classified documents, or top secret documents for digitization.

I already know the answer, don't need a poll to tell me.

Of course not. But they thought Hunter's laptop was "Russian Disinformation " and we all know how that turned out.

LOL.

So you believe there is anything newsworthy about Obama digitizing documents he received through proper protocol?
