The new policy is egregious, but it's not just "now." There is a long and sad history of spun, rewritten, and censored history at the federal presidential libraries.
I’m sure you’re right. Like everything, it just seems more outrageous now. I’m worried about record and artifact destruction.
Agreed. And I am, too. I was just saying that it's not so much that such things are starting, it's just that they'll get much worse.
