From Randita's link at post #3!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look at this buried in the LA Times article:

Federal agents already had seized the department's computer hard drives and 12 sacks of trash, including papers that apparently were shredded Wednesday.

Federal agents already had seized the department's computer hard drives and 12 sacks of trash, including papers that apparently were shredded Wednesday!

Benito II just wanted to make sure more data wasn't seized by federal agents so he had his agents seize it!

"I have no idea what he was doing, why he was doing it," (Claude Rains) Davis said. ("I'm shocked,
shocked.")....."It came as a complete surprise to me, and we intend to get to the bottom of it......."

Davis added, "Round up the usual suspects."
