Trump Rips Mueller Team for Destroying Evidence 'Just Like Crooked Hillary'
Townhall ^ | 9/12/20 | Bronson Stocking

Posted on 09/12/2020 5:59:45 PM PDT by Libloather

On Saturday, President Trump reacted to news that Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team wiped their phones clean before turning the devices over to investigators. Recently released documents suggest the Muller team engaged in massive evidence destruction while under investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General.

At least 15 phones used by Mueller's team of investigators were 'accidentally' wiped clean, the new documents reveal. A key tactic used by the Mueller team to destroy the evidence was to place the phones on airplane mode, lock them, and then claim not to remember the password.

"Phone was wiped prior to review because phone was in airplane mode and the passcode was not provided -- therefore the phone had to be restored to factory settings without review," reads one entry for a phone assigned to a redacted individual.

President Trump railed against the Mueller investigation, comparing the liberal team of prosecutors to "Crooked Hillary."

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump ALERT: So now we find out that the entire Mueller “hit squad” illegally wiped their phones clean just prior to the investigation of them, all using the same really dumb reason for this “accident”, just like Crooked Hillary smashing her phones with a hammer, & DELETING HER EMAILS

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump Replying to @realDonaldTrump ....It has now been determined that the Mueller Scam should never have been set up in the first place, there were no grounds. It was all an illegitimate Witch Hunt, & a big price must be paid. How different my life would have been if this fraud on America was never committed!!!

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump All that time and money spent, and it turns out that the Mueller Investigation was a total SCAM!

My confidence anything like justice will happen approaches zero.
Not happy about that.

At least 15 “accidents” from the little weasels who would have used these same actions to charge their victims with obstruction. Most of what went through these phones should live on servers and back-ups. If it’s true that they know just wiping these phones will protect them says a lot.

Put each in a coffin locked with an electronic lock. Forget the passcodes.

That evidence of malfeasance must have been very damning. Now we don’t even need to see it to know how bad it was.

Imagine what would've happened if one of PDJT's phones or computers — or the phones of one of his underlings who got subpoenaed — was wiped clean before it was handed over to Mueller's team in 2017 or 2018.
