Could this possibly take down Trump, Pence, Barr and Pompeo?
They pulled a Nixon! Instead of erasing 18 minutes of tape they erased the electronic database and moved the transcript to a Secure Database for confidential information only

So, bribery, extortion, obstruction, conspiracy, abuse of power–what other potential charges are there? If this isn’t impeachable, nothing short of nuking Disneyland on Mother’s Day would qualify.
