  • Dirty Cop Mueller's team "accidentally" erases smart phones requested by IG

    If this doesn't smell like a cover-up, then I don't know what does:

    Recently released documents show that at least 15 phones used by Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team of investigators were 'accidentally' wiped clean after the devices were requested by the U.S. Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General.

    The Federalist's Sean Davis reports that Mueller deputy Andrew Weissman, who is now fundraising for Joe Biden, and various other investigators -- like James Quarles, a longtime Democratic donor, and Kyle Freeny, also a longtime Democrat donor -- all claim their phones were accidentally wiped clean.

    "Phone was accidentally wiped prior to records review," read the entry for Kyle Freeney.

    Twelve other names, all redacted, also claimed their phones were 'accidentally' wiped clean.

    The new documents show a key tactic used by the Mueller team was to place the phones on airplane mode, lock them, and then claim not to remember the password.

    "Phone was wiped prior to review because phone was in airplane mode and the passcode was not provided -- therefore the phone had to be restored to factory settings without review," read an entry for a phone assigned to a redacted individual.

    "Phone was in airplane mode, no passcode provided, data unable to be recovered, so had to be wiped," reads another entry.

    As Davis asks, "What are the actual probabilities of more than a dozen top Mueller officials all 'accidentally' nuking their phones or accidentally putting them in airplane mode, locking them, and 'forgetting' their passwords so the [inspector general] couldn't access and examine them?"

    This naturally begs the question: What are they trying to hide? Seems like at the very least every single agent who "accidentally" wiped his phone should be charged with destroying evidence and obstruction of justice, but they probably won't be thanks to our two tier justice system that runs innocent men like General Flynn through the ringer while letting the guilty go free.

    Yeah that's not a coincidence. They should be charged with obstruction.

      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        But it will be ignored by MSM. And if brought up, the left will complain about the sources that do report it because they'll be only conservative sources, and will dismiss it as a rightwing conspiracy theory. That's what's so scary.

          Sure, it sounds suspicious. But it appears to be pretty common for people to accidentally wipe their iphones by entering the wrong password too many times. It might be more common if it's a government issued phone (IOW, you might not be used to iphones, and might not have anything on the phone that you feel you need to go to great lengths to save) and you are required to change your password regularly. (Not sure about the requirement to change password, but I had that problem when I worked for a government contractor.)

          If you want to charge people with a crime for accidentally wiping their phones, you might want to make it illegal first. And if you want to charge them with obstruction, we know there's a lot more you have to prove.

            As the reporter astutely asks, "What are the actual probabilities of more than a dozen top Mueller officials all 'accidentally' nuking their phones or accidentally putting them in airplane mode, locking them, and 'forgetting' their passwords so the [inspector general] couldn't access and examine them?"

            I would say it's the same probability that every one of the 30,000 emails Hillary deleted were really about yoga classes and Chelsea's wedding plans.

              I wonder how you would go about calculating that probability, without knowing how many officials did not wipe their phones, or how often government officials not on the Mueller team accidentally wipe their phones.

                This line of reasoning is colloquially known as the "okie doke", where you know you're being lied to, but you go along with it anyway because it suits your interests.

                  If these were the days of Watergate, it would be open and shut obstruction.

                    And somebody like that should be trusted with NATIONAL SECURITY?

                      If that were an actual common problem,
                      A) why are we hearing about it just now?
                      2) why wouldn't somebody have worked to remedy it?

                      It simply doesn't pass the smell test unless you plug your nose and close your eyes.

                        I don't know who fits that description.

                          Putting in airplane mode/locking would be standard procedure for shelving a phone/limiting it to authorized access only/keeping it off the airwaves and internet. Enough time passes without activity, password will be forgotten. Once that happens it is almost impossible to crack it and get in - been there, done that.

                          Does it sound fishy - yes. Is it necessarily fishy - no. Innocent till proven guilty - remember?

                          My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

                          If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

                          This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

                            I would hazard a guess that only now did the information get into the hands of someone willing to spin it into something nefarious.

                            2) why wouldn't somebody have worked to remedy it?
                            Ask Trump's Justice Department.

                              I'm not sure if national security would be served by not allowing anyone who has ever forgotten a password to work for the DOJ or FBI.
