Thanks for the clarification.

I believe Trump talked up Ukraine to convince agencies like the FBI that they had time to purge records if need be as he would busy with diplomacy. But then on day 1 Trump and his administration’s true focus was revealed to be taking on corruption in the agencies and funding (USAID) etc. The Deep State didn’t even know what hit them - suddenly doors locked, logons stop working - in key places. What would people think if corrupt FBI were on the news complaining they couldn’t access secure rooms with burn bags in them? They couldn’t log onto their computers?

I believe we weren’t told of the internal measures to secure the premises, records, servers etc. Shock and awe.

Fingerprint the whole damn room.

Swab the bags for DNA.

Agree...

Any cameras in that secret room. I would think so.

The real question is whether the documents in the burn bags were the only copies, or were just duplicates.

[T.B. Yoits]

That evidence was signed for at several levels.

Haul them in to explain why it was buried. The first one to talk gets the deal. The rest get Guantanamo Bay.

Yawn...

[Zathras]

It sounds to me like someone high inside the FBI gave the DOJ and Patel the info on where this was located.
