Obama Presidential Library Locks Away Rice Unmasking Docs for Next Five Years


Don’t expect to learn much more about the Obama administration’s efforts to spy on the Trump campaign anytime soon. Documents pertaining to the situation have officially been locked away for five years, according to the National Security Council.

The National Security Council cannot hand over records relating to former National Security Adviser Susan Rice’s surveillance of Americans, because they have been moved to the Obama presidential library and may be sealed for as many as five years, conservative watchdog Judicial Watch announced Monday.

The NSC informed Judicial Watch in a letter dated May 23 that materials related to Rice’s requests to know the identities of Americans swept up in surveillance of foreign targets, including any Trump campaign or transition officials, have been moved to the library.

The NSC’s Director of Access Management John Powers said in the letter:

“Documents from the Obama administration have been transferred to the Barack Obama Presidential Library. You may send your request to the Obama Library. However, you should be aware that under the Presidential Records Act, Presidential records remain closed to the public for five years after an administration has left office.”

As the saying goes, you have nothing to worry about if you’ve got nothing to hide. Based on this well-timed transfer of documents, the Democrats seem to be worried — and you can probably guess why.
