Normally this type of story is about Hillary Clinton…
Not today, however, we are gathered here today to discuss Barack Obama and the Obama Foundation’s store of classified materials in an unsecured facility.
According to a letter from Robbin Cohen, the Obama Foundation’s executive director, the foundation would wire money to the National Archives in order to facilitate a transfer of records to a more secure location.
A location that would provide better security than a former furniture warehouse; a location that actually conformed to the security standards set by the government…
The idea was to safely store the records during the process of converting the records to a digital format.
This wouldn’t have been story material if that transfer had actually occurred, and 5 years later, these documents are still reportedly at the unsecured storage facility…
Where is the joint DOJ/FBI raid?
You can read the letter directly below:
According to Western Journal:
Apparently, the storage of former President Barack Obama’s classified and unclassified documents at this facility has been common knowledge among area residents for years.
A March 2019 article on the website of WBEZ-FM, a Chicago public radio station, website was casually titled, “What’s That Building? Why This Hoffman Estates Warehouse Stores Barack Obama’s Presidential Papers.”
Obama Foundation report:
Obama stored classified documents at unsecured, unguarded, abandoned furniture warehouse in abandoned parking lot next to McDonalds.
NARA and FBI OK with it.

PJ Media writes:
While the storage of these documents appears to be with the full knowledge and coordination of NARA, it still raises significant questions, not just concerning the raid of Mar-a-Lago, but also surrounding the legal actions being taken by the Biden administration against Trump over the storage of these documents.
Seeing as Mar-a-Lago is Trump’s Florida home, it is protected by Secret Service, making it far more secure than whatever setup they likely had at the former furniture store space.
