Should monitors be stationed in both the White House and the EEOB?

[ThomWV]

There will be much evidence to be destroyed between November and January in both the White House and the Eisenhower Executive Office Building (certainly more than a few reams of paper are headed for the shredders over at Justice too). I'm wondering if there might be some way to protect public documents which might be of interest to historians and prosecutors in the future? Laws requiring the protection of such things have been routinely ignored in the past - what about this critical period that is right around the corner?

1. They've burned out a semi full of shredders over the last several months . . .

2. You might be onto something.

"Laws requiring the protection of such things have been routinely ignored in the past - what about this critical period that is right around the corner?"

3. Quite a valid point. Good thinking. I hope some type of protocol exists to preserve what

will surely be lost to the shredders. I hope staff members are personally salvaging what they can, lest they be also implicated if justice comes lurking around the corner.
