33. Executive order to prevent Daddy's and Reagan's papers to be seen
Early in stolen term one, * ,by executive order IIRC, prevented Bush I's papers to be released as well as Reagan's. Previously after Watergate the law was that after a # of years pass after a president's term (20?) all of their papers are to released publicly unless it would threaten National Security (this was back when this wasn't you know, everything.)

I think Reagan's were about to be released when * took (and I mean took) office so the * administration kept fighting it in court and then 9/11 happened and then he had the nerve to just say no to releasing it and that's that.

It's so sick that they did this especially it wasn't just to protect people in his own party but his own father? The fact that this was a blip on the media radar made it hurt the most for me at the time. This was the first thing that popped into my mind. As so many scandals that weren't.
