Sure seems like Judge Collyer is ordering the beginning of the Coverup. By destroying the information there is no evidence that this spying exists.
Yes, on its face, I thought the same. “Destroying” government paper trails and evidence of any means or type is not a recipe for justice and transparency.
Not that Q doesn’t already have it all, but the judgester in this case is biting off a big old piece of Authority she probably does not possess.
So, next logical question is who owns her that she would so dare to do such a thing?
