You have to stop this - it is worse than Watergate. WHEN WILL YOU STAND UP????? So many laws being broken. You have no choice but to impeach him- only 11 of you need integrity, courage, and honor. Can none of you stand for decency and democracy?
Today, USAID officials were ordered to destroy classified documents, raising concerns about compliance with federal law. An internal email sent to remaining bureau leaders at the agency’s Washington, D.C., headquarters provided guidance on “clearing our classified safes and personnel documents.”
The email instructed officials to “shred as many documents first” and to “reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break.” It also specified that “the only labeling required on the burn bags are the words ‘SECRET’ and ‘USAID/(B/IO)’ in dark Sharpie, if possible.”
This directive violates the Federal Records Act of 1950, which mandates that U.S. government officials obtain approval from the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) before destroying any records. The destruction of these documents is particularly significant, as they are relevant to multiple court cases against the Trump administration and USAID. These cases are related to mass firings, the sudden relocation of employees, the rapid dismantlement of the agency, and a freeze on nearly all foreign aid funding.
Federal law is clear: the preservation of government records is essential for transparency, accountability, and the integrity of the legal process. Impeach him. Fire Musk. You are oath bound.
