    Do we have any proof that the messages were deleted on the instruction of the White House? I’ve always thought they arranged the mass-deletion on their own - but it was a very busy time and I might well have missed the bit about them being ordered to delete them.

      Well it helped Trump, was against policy, and they answered to him.

        All true. However, there’s a difference between being told/ordered to do a thing, and thinking (on your own), “Hey if I do this thing it’ll cover my ass and help my side”. OP is claiming they were told to do it - and that may be true, but I’d like some proof toward that.

          What’s more likely? That they all independently had the same idea to commit the same crime at the same time, or that their ringleader told them to do it, so they did it?

              This is likely bullshit, your milage may vary…but I though they used encrypted black berries. Its on a private network/vpn separate from civilian traffic.

              It seems like Trump threw a fit about it at one time.

          The proof is they wouldn’t have done it if they had not been told.
