Donald Trump won’t be getting any help from President Joe Biden in his quest to keep White House visitor logs out of the hands of the House investigators probing the Capitol riot. The New York Times reports that Biden has decided the visitor logs are not subject to executive privilege—as Trump had attempted to argue—and has instructed the National Archives to hand them to the House panel within the next 15 days. A letter to the Archives from White House counsel, Dana Remus, reportedly said the logs in question show “appointment information for individuals who were processed to enter the White House complex, including on Jan. 6, 2021,” but it’s not clear if the Trump White House kept a complete record of visitors. The Trump administration argued in 2017 that visitor logs should be kept secret because of “the grave national security risks and privacy concerns of the hundreds of thousands of visitors annually.”

1. Hopefully, there will be someone on list like "militia" leaders, or obvious omissions.

Otherwise, just another dead end.

3. Given Trump's panic on this matter, there will be juicy stuff in the logs.

9. Honestly, I don't think there will be a thing damning in the logs. It's not like news folks don't

know who is going in or out. But, I guess we can keep hoping.

5. Grave National Security risks

Translates into “ grave risks of exposing TFG’s corruption and/or supporting evidence of his crimes”

7. Yep. Isn't the whole point of keeping logs for transparency?

If you’re not going to release the logs to the public, why even bother keeping them?

testing the plumbing.
