Remember the time that White House aides were ordered to preserve evidence of Russian interference?
Instructions were sent to White House staff after Democrats in the US Senate requested the administration and security agencies to keep all material on links between Mr Trump’s aides, campaign or transition team and the Kremlin.
As part of its investigation into Russia’s possible role in the presidential election, the Senate intelligence committee has also asked more than a dozen groups, agencies and individuals to preserve relevant records.
Well, looks like that may be the opposite of what is happening.
White House officials and members of Donald Trump’s transition team are reportedly “purging” their electronic devices to avoid being compromised by subpoenas, it has been claimed.
I have been reluctant to add to chants of “lock them up” throughout the early stages of these investigations, because that’s not how this works. People are investigated, tried, convicted, and locked up, in that order. We don’t skip from point A to point D.
But they are making it far too easy. This is no doubt obstruction of justice. For them to risk charges filed against them, whatever it is they are hiding, must be YUGE enough to have people at the top legitimately worried...such as, deliberately tampering with a presidential election by coordinating with intelligence agencies from a foreign country.
John Schindler, a security expert and former counterintelligence officer, said that if the US President was to face an indictment over allegations his campaign team colluded with Russia to disrupt the presidential election, it could put an end to his presidency.
Speaking to CBC radio, Mr Schindler said: "If, not just people around him, but the president himself is facing possible indictment down the road, that could be a game changer. He could be removed from office for that, whether he wants to be or not."
Looks to me like they know exactly how far up this goes. Those who are volunteering to come forwards probably know there is too much evidence against them, so they are angling to strike a deal...and those who are left know exactly what is going to come out and are destroying evidence that ties them to this administration.
Allegedly.
