The Obama Presidential Center in Chicago's Jackson Park will take a different route, opting out of the presidential library network operated by the National Archives and Records Administration —and the millions of dollars in federal support that go along with membership.
Agency officials on Thursday confirmed the split, which was not disclosed last week when former President Barack Obama unveiled conceptual designs for the center. In the months leading up to the announcement, it was widely assumed that the center would have a presidential library, full of documents and artifacts, that was part of the NARA system.
Unlike traditional presidential libraries, the Obama Presidential Center will not actually have library materials. That is—it will not house former President Obama’s manuscripts, documents, letters, and gifts from his tenure in office—items presidential centers around the country all have.
Instead, it will include space for outdoor functions and picnics, a basketball court, recording studio, sledding hill, children’s play garden, and more.
...
“Obama has been a game-changer from the beginning. If you see the presidential libraries of current living presidents, you’ll see how those centers have evolved,” she said, reports the Chicago Tribune. “Going digital is a natural progression of lessons learned from those entities.”
I could be reading it incorrectly, but Q's post seems to suggest Obama's stuff was already RAIDED per orders from POTUS.
Military soon to start moving Obama's papers to Hoffman Estates
The heavy lifting for the move falls to the military.
More than two dozen troops in the capital will take materials now stored at the National Archives and Records Administration and load them onto semitractor-trailers for the 700-mile trip, said Lt. Col. Vianesa Vargas, the Air Force logistician overseeing the move.
So rather than the actual documents, there will be digitized versions of the documents.
I'm sure there's nothing fishy that could happen there, now is there?

And there was another doctor death happening few days ago.
An acclaimed trauma surgeon was found dead, with a knife in his chest, by his 11-year-old daughter Sunday in his Park Ave. apartment, police said. Investigators were treating the death of Dr. Dean Lorich as an apparent suicide, sources said. “He was under some personal stress,” a police source said. The surgeon was home with his daughter, police said, adding there were no signs of forced entry at the tony Upper East Side apartment at Park Ave. and E. 96th St.
...
Lorich, a father of three girls, was the associate director of the Orthopaedic Trauma Service at the Hospital for Special Surgery. He was also a professor at Weill Cornell Medical College.
He treated Bono in 2014 after the U2 frontman was badly injured in a cycling accident in Central Park.
...
Lorich volunteered in Haiti for 2010 earthquake victims.
“It’s devastating news. Dean was a friend and a tremendous doctor,” said Dr. Soumi Eachempati, who traveled with Lorich to the devastated country. “The medical community will have an extremely large void without him.”

Hmmm. I wonder what these guys knew. As Q said they are no coincidences...
