The agency tells a federal judge that it is investigating and 'sincerely regrets its failure.'
The National Security Agency destroyed surveillance data it pledged to preserve in connection with pending lawsuits and apparently never took some of the steps it told a federal court it had taken to make sure the information wasnt destroyed, according to recent court filings.

It appears from the “memo” that the top people in our Justice(sic) Dept. and FBI are corrupt and there to destroy Americans who want to make a difference....They are FELONS that need PRISON badly!
bulls*&t. They have it someplace.

(Unless Trump can get at them.)
Sucks to be them, and sucks to be a Dem.
Clearly you don’t work per NSA standards for classified data and its backup and retention.
