A federal judge refused Friday to block the destruction of classified documents as part of the building cleanout at the U.S. Agency for International Development, finding that records slated for shredding or burning are old or no longer needed.
The documents don’t appear to be related to the ongoing court battles over the near-dismantling of USAID by the Trump administration, U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols found as he refused to grant a temporary restraining order.
The cases come as the Trump administration dismantles USAID, cutting off most federal money and terminating 83% of the programs abroad. All but a few hundred staffers are being pulled off the job and the agency’s Washington headquarters is being shut down. Those remaining bureaucrats were ordered earlier this week to get rid of classified safes and personnel documents from its D.C. headquarters.
“The only labeling required on the burn bags are the words ‘SECRET’ and ‘USAID/B/IO)’ in dark sharpie if possible,” an internal USAID email stated, instructing staffers to request for burn bags or sharpie if necessary.

Probably most aren’t related, but how hard is it to slip some related ones in between the other ones?
Can Supreme Court censure a Fed Court judge?
You may claim to be a judge, but if your actions are directly opposed to the duties of a judge and are in violation of the highest principles of justice, then you are no judge.
About 20 years ago I had to access some Social Security records in the Bay Area. They were kept at a facility in Richmond, California, which was indeed referred to by the Social Security personnel as “The Cave.”
Exactly.
“Hey, boss! Here’s a document for the tranny show we did in Outer Slobovia that we haven’t told them about. What should I do with it?”
“Burn it! Nobody will notice it sandwiched in among all the other ‘unrelated’ documents.”
The WEAKNESS and INCOMPETENCE AND COWARDICE of this and any repugnic-nt administration is INFURIATING.
GO IN THERE AND CAVE IN THE SKULLS OF THE LITTLE SH-TDICKS SGREDDING THE DOCUMENTS. Or at least arrest them.
What is WRONG with these pussies?
Face it all these judges that get in Trump’s way are part of the DEEP STATE
😜
If these documents actually required preservation, the Administration would order them preserved. Secretary Rubio would take steps to see that it is done. He doesn't need any Court order, USAID has been placed under his authority.
Please correct me if I am mistaken.
Why can’t Rubio simple reassign these USAID clowns (in more ways than one) to some other office space without access to their regular systems?
Yeah. Seems like Trump can never get that cabinet post right. Patel is also not impressing at all.
this sounds good to me, clean out the debris as they dismantle or minimize the offices.
Great post and thanks for explaining this.
My only thought is that I hope USAid and others go by the book.
It seems lately more often than note, the book has been thrown out the window.
Rubio was a Director of IRI who got a lot of money from USAID.
There are a lot of people that surely want things destroyed
I'm just wondering why a federal add organization has any classified documents? How many classified operations are USPS, BLM, USFS, EPA and all the other alphabet non law enforcement non intelligence agency conducting?
Who are they trying to hide this information from other than the US taxpayers?
A mostly legal judge.
WHAT A MORON!!
Well, Carl should jump on in with the rest of the trash, since he is obviously trash himself.
