On March 15, 1933, a cabinet meeting was held during which Hitler and Göring discussed how to obstruct what was left of the democratic process to get an Enabling Act passed by the Reichstag. This law would hand over the constitutional functions of the Reichstag to Hitler, including the power to make laws, control the budget and approve treaties with foreign governments."
"Later that same day, Hindenburg signed two decrees put before him by Hitler. The first offered full pardons to all Nazis currently in prison. The prison doors sprang open and out came an assortment of Nazi thugs and murderers.
The second decree signed by the befuddled old man allowed for the arrest of anyone suspected of maliciously criticizing the government and the Nazi Party.
A third decree signed only by Hitler and Papen allowed for the establishment of special courts to try political offenders. These courts were conducted in the military style of a court-martial without a jury and usually with no counsel for the defense."

(129,549 posts)As a 30+ year (now retired) fed, there's always that "start at lowest level" type of request and then work your way up. Otherwise they can stall even more by claiming that you didn't "follow procedures" or "ask nicely".

(8,138 posts)Hoo boy. That's going to be interesting.
So they don't have any documents from when they vetted him?
Where are the campaign documents if not in control of the former campaign staff in the White House?
Interesting that Assistant Deputy to the Assistant Flunkie Marc Short had to write the letter. It didn't even come from the White House Counsel's office. He'll be testifying himself someday soon, I reckon.
