Val writes \”LATimes Story
on a
Long-time National Archives employee busted for selling documents on ebay, among them, a presidential pardon signed by Abe Lincoln, you know, Honest Abe….
U.S. District attorney Patrick Meehan spins:
\”This is not just value measured in dollars–these were authentic documents, the actual records of events that ware part of our American history, and when they are removed from the collection the value is incalculable… This wasn\’t just a crime against the National Archives. This was a crime against future generations and their access to American history.\”

Bob Cox also pointed the way to Another Story on the same thing.
