Through America First Legal:

In October 2014, Russian hackers breached the Government Workplace of the President (EOP)’s community. In response, President Obama created, through government motion, PITC. PITC consists of representatives of the Departments of Protection and Homeland Safety, amongst others.

Why is the committee related as we speak? 

First, PITC creates a presumption that the President controls all info he receives. The PITC memo established the President’s unique management over info sources and techniques supplied to the President. (§ 1, ¶ 2.). The memo created the presumption that info contained on info techniques and sources was “EOP info.” ( § 4(f)). As a result of the memo relied upon the Federal Information Act’s definition of “info system” as sources organized for the “use” and “disposition” of “info”, the memo offers the President unique management over info he receives. That is related to what a President could fairly imagine about info given to him whereas in workplace.

Second, and associated, if info saved on the PITC community shaped the idea for Particular Counsel Jack Smith’s prosecution of former President Trump, that proof ought to have been disclosed to the previous President and could also be related to his legal responsibility.   

Particular Counsel Jack Smith’s indictment towards former President Trump, claims “Trump was not approved to own or retain…categorised paperwork.” However Obama’s PITC memo could have created an inexpensive perception in President Trump that he, actually, had such authority. Moreover, if the information Trump allegedly destroyed are nonetheless preserved inside the EOP or the U.S. Division of Protection as a part of PITC-created info techniques, then different claims within the indictment could also be baseless.  

These explosive findings are in step with America First Authorized’s whitepaper contending that the President of the USA has absolute authority over presidential papers. Neither Congress nor the federal courts could lawfully abrogate or restrict this authority.
