The file
Obama put him in. He stayed through Trump. In 2015 he told Grassley a formal Attorney General action on Clinton emails was not necessary. In February 2022 he wrote Congress that Archives staff were in communication with the Department of Justice about Trump boxes. He signed the Pence-records letter as Biden instructed. Solomon later wrote about unsealed 2021 pressure. This is not a library newsletter. It is the episodes. Facts are cited. Opinion is marked. A NARA letter is not a court. A DOJ contact is not an indictment.
