The Trump Org Finds a New Way to Play Dirty With NY Investigators
The Daily Beast ^ | Mar 21, 2022 | Jose Pagliery

Posted on 03/22/2022 10:08:18 AM PDT by where's_the_Outrage?

In September, a judge gave the Trump Organization an ultimatum: Comply with the New York Attorney General’s two-year-old subpoenas, or hire an outside digital forensics company to gather the evidence.

The Trump Organization chose the second option. But with a deadline for the information fast approaching, it’s becoming clear that the Trump family only hired the company to do some of the job—and what is coming will still take plenty more time.

It turns out, the digital forensics company that the Trump Organization chose, HaystackID, wasn’t hired to actually get everything investigators wanted.

“Haystack has not been engaged to perform item five of the stipulated order (which would be a significant undertaking, requiring detailed instructions, and a modified project agreement) nor to issue more detailed monthly reports,” the company’s chief information security officer, John W. Wilson, emailed prosecutors and Trump Organization lawyers last week.....

“Unfortunately, Haystack’s progress is opaque to [Office of the Attorney General] because the Trump Organization has restricted Haystack’s ability to report any substantive information,” prosecutors wrote to Trump lawyers earlier this month. “And… that progress which we can discern has been too slow.”

By last count, HaystackID had only communicated with half of the 81 people with access to devices that need to be searched. Among the listed “records custodians” are the former president himself, his three adult business executive children, his longtime executive assistant Rhona Graff, indicted former chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg, company chief operating officer Matthew Calamari, company lawyer Alan Garten, and many more.

And there’s no telling when the actual devices will be scanned and sorted through.

Sounds like Trump is using the DOJ methodology.

This whole thing is nothing but a witch hunt to try and get President Trump not to run again.

The NYAG is a political slut whore who campaigned promising to “get” Trump.

Pretty intrusive subpoenas for an investigation without any probable cause. This is nothing more then political persecution of the opposition using government resources. But you, and everyone else, know it.

Why is there an investigation in the first place? The normal process is to start an investigation based on evidence of a crime. (Investigate the crime, not the man. It was the Soviets who investigated the man, not the crime.) What evidence is there that any crime has been committed to justify an investigation?

It turns out, the digital forensics company that the Trump Organization chose, HaystackID..

There's symbolism in everything.

Why don’t right-wing states do the same to Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer? We need to step up our game.

Our Legal System is all about delay, delay, delay.

See the cases of the Jan6 political prisoners.
