The Defense Department reportedly wiped the phones of key Trump Pentagon officials at the end of the former president’s administration, erasing any texts from key witnesses to events surrounding the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, CNN reported.
Coverup, misdirection, tampering with evidence, and deliberate failure to maintain government records make we wonder just how far the coup plan goes. It’s a good thing I am not of a suspicious nature.
The deal is, I don’t think there’s any illegality here. It might be unethical or bad policy. But I don’t think there’s individual criminal exposure here. BWDIK?
Without you can’t prove criminal conspiracy, so there’s a lot of self-congratulations going on I’m sure. All we need is one person who archived theirs somewhere to finally come forward.
At least by Jan 6, if not sooner. I think a lot of us had suspicions after the WH call logs disappeared, the toilet was clogged, and Meadows forgot to open the fireplace damper, but I am a little surprised it was so rampant in other Departments (DHS, SS, DoD).
What Trump Dept is next? Any bets?
Watergate on steroids: Wipegate.
Ever hear of the Federal Records Management Act ( 44 U.S.C. Chapter 31)?
“The head of each Federal agency shall make and preserve records containing adequate and proper documentation of the organization, functions, policies, decisions, procedures, and essential transactions of the agency and designed to furnish the information necessary to protect the legal and financial rights of the Government and of persons directly affected by the agency’s activities.”
Half the Senate, half the House, DOJ, DHS, USSS, DOD, and members of SCOTUS were involved. The seditious conspiracy and cover up of the failed coup attempt against the United States is vast, corrupting the most powerful institutions of this nation. It’s beyond the pale. These people deserve a firing squad, not a fucking book deal and quiet retirement.
