Hoping for their sake that National Archives & Records Administration staff don’t get instructed to join this action against Bolton, which is clearly just another example of Trump exacting vengeance.

I remember when it became clear that NARA was involved in the Mar-a-Lago raid (because Trump was in violation of the Presidential Records Act) it was a joyous moment to be an archivist.

I made a silly joke on Twitter about special national archives agents bursting in and holding up badges showing two crossed 2B pencils and an acid-free box, with the slogan ‘Respect des Fonds’. It was retweeted by loads of historians and archivists and we all had a good giggle. Seems so long ago.
