Congressional Republicans demanded answers on Friday as to whether there “was a widespread intentional effort” to wipe the mobile devices of multiple people on former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team during the Russia probe, and suggested this could amount to "anticipatory obstruction of justice."The calls come after newly released records from the Justice Department showed that at least several dozen phones belonging to members of Mueller’s team were wiped of information because of forgotten passcodes, irreparable screen damage, loss of the device, intentional deletion or other reasons—all before the Justice Department inspector general’s office could review the devices.

So when do these corrupt clowns get arrested at home at 5-6AM with CNN filming it and broadcasting it? Hmmm...??? Either that happens and they are charged like any joe smoe would be, or they need to have 'accidents' all of a sudden. Every last one of them, because rule of law is broken if it only applies to some and not to everyone.

Andrew Weissmann knew the danger of leaving proof of the swamp on the phones. Besides, he knew Hillary got away with it, so why wouldn't they?
DOJ will never punish DOJ lawyers who worked on the Mueller Report team. Just a fact.

We seem to have a new definition of "Justice" now. Social, criminal, political and Just for Us justice.

Pubbies, you keep wetting your pants with demands. Until I see some Spygate indictments from the Grand Juries working for AG Barr and Durham, not interested in your demands.

Start by tracking down the IT person that did the deed and go from there.

Lindsey's about 2 years behind the curve on this one!
Unfortunately I will have to vote for him or end up with a Dem Senator.

Do you think many of them might start to realize they've been played by the Democrats for the last 4 years yet?
And, they better not buy into the idea that some lackey was supposed to turn them all in, on their behalf, and this was all a mistake, or accident, either.
After all, it's the phone each of them were issued by the government, and they were responsible for.

Yep, if they wiped the phones there was a reason. Legitimate investigations would not have done that, so they are hiding something. Mueller indicted 36 people during the investigation. With the treatment of General Flynn I suspect the pressure was also applied the same way in Mueller's investigations. He was director of the FBI at one time and therefore he is probably Comey's mentor. Why did Sessions recuse himself. I'd like to know the reason for that.

Keep Deep State-protecting RINOs in the Senate and this is why Mueller & co. were not the least bit concerned about destroying evidence. Ooh, guess we will see Miss Lindsey get on Hannity and pretend to be upset and outraged The DOJ is as big a joke as the FBI. We need to recognize this. Whatever other crime they go up against makes no difference. The future of America depends on rooting out the corruption WITHIN the government.

there will be no justice in DC until the Republican party takes back the house and increases their number in the Senate AND the RINO's in the Senate are given their walking papers.

If information is still recoverable on a computer, why can't they do the same with phones? After all, they are computers, too. Or did they lie about being able to recover deleted data from computers?

A couple---maybe 4 or 5 ---accidental or innocent ----Several Dozen??
Deliberately wiped and probably instructed to do so.
I doubt several dozen of these people who supposedly are in the upper echelon of intelligence all thought of this on their own.
Come on Barr get off your butt, DO SOMETHING

Mueller spent 35 million $$$ investigating Trump for obstruction as they were wiping their phones clean, tapping phones, changing documents, spying on the Trump WH......dems are immune to prosecution.

Is the Mueller team defense going to be "like wiping by a cloth" or "We don't recall"?
