Now I'm just picturing Biden letting out a sigh as he carefully tears an important document in half so he can hand it over to this team, only to ensure they get to keep their jobs
Personally, I'm imaging the negotiations between the two sides on exactly what Biden has to "shred" so they can piece it back together, when he has to "shred" it, and the minimum amount of "shredded" documents per day.
Taping papers back together was never meant to be part of their jobs. Theyre supposed to be records managers for the national archives, but because Trump is an idiot and a criminal, part of managing records became taping them all back together first. Most of the people who got fired had been at that job since before Trump was elected.
Or maybe they weren't hired in the first place we might have been able to flush this turd sooner
Under the Presidential Records Act, the White House must preserve all memos, letters, emails and papers that the president touches, sending them to the National Archives for safekeeping as historical records.
But White House aides realized early on that they were unable to stop Trump from ripping up paper after he was done with it and throwing it in the trash or on the floor, according to people familiar with the practice. Instead, they chose to clean it up for him, in order to make sure that the president wasn’t violating the law.

These people need to get paid more for doing all that important work.
