Because they’ve got lots of things to hide...

Destroying government records is a crime.

The departments have so much evidence to destroy in the next two months.

The FDA is in a unique situation, though. They will have to fabricate evidence to save their skins.

One way Trump ma be able to fire these civil service bureaucrats is to start requesting records left and right, and when the fail to deliver, fire them for insubordination.

There’s lots of shredders at the various agencies. This is not unusual.

(Destroying government records is a crime)

That’s correct

They’ll claim it was “classified” or something like that

Somewhere I told people to buy stock in shredders. Who couldn’t see this coming?

I’m sure they really needed it. But t just happens to coincide with a change in administration. Nothing to see here folks… move along…

That is NOT an order. It’s a “Request for Information” (an RFI) with responses due December 16, 2024. An RFI is not even a “Request for Proposal” (RFP). The RFI just requests information on the product and/or service you would sell. It may not include pricing. The RFP is the formal tender for bids with firm commitment on pricing. The RFP will come out after the RFI and have it’s own separate closing date for responses.

If the RFI is due December 16, I doubt there’s any way they could issue the RFP, get bids, review then, and may an award by January 20.

It they really wanted to buy an industrial shredder, they would just buy it on a black budget and there would be no RFI / RFP procurement process.

This almost sounds like a masterful troll to get Trump supporters worked up in a lather.

That's exactly correct. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of shredders at the DOD already, not including authorized services on call.

This is a troll, no more no less.

The proper question would be that since they are democrats, why didn’t they already have them on hand for years?

If the DOJ gets a real leader then they can spend some time questioning employees about what they have seen in regards to things like this.
