There is no mystery. They were erased to hide incriminating evidence, a criminal act.

Interesting from RedState:

https://www.redstate.com/shipwreckedcrew/2020/09/12/speculation-on-why-durhams-chief-deputy-resigned-today-requires-inside-knowledge/

In Garrity v. New Jersey, the Supreme Court held that police officers under investigation for misconduct could not be compelled to answer questions by investigators, and have their answers used against them in a later criminal prosecution if the officers were told they would be suspended or fired from their jobs if they asserted their Fifth Amendment right to remain silent.

The first thing a prosecution team must do when initiating this kind of investigation is to insulate the investigators and prosecutors from being exposed to material they should not see because of Garrity. This is done through the creation of a “filter” team — one or more prosecutors and a few investigators whose job it is to go through everything amassed during the IG’s investigation, and “filter out” any compelled statements that might violate Garrity.

IG Horowitz’s two investigations involved interviews of dozens of federal agents and other federal employees. Many of them may have been given some form of Garrity warning — similar to a Miranda warning. But it’s possible that some were warned that a failure to answer IG questions could lead to an adverse job action for refusing.

The judgment about whether the IG interview amounted to a “compelled” statement or not is a case-by-case determination. So the “filter team” has to go through every interview done by the IG for that purpose, and separate out any interviews which might be a problem.

The “filter team” then has to determine if any specific evidence collected in the IG investigation was produced solely as a result of information learned from a “compelled” statement. If such evidence is found, that evidence is “fruit of the poisonous tree” and is “filtered out” so the prosecution team never sees it.

This “filter team” has to work independently of the leader of the investigation. Durham can’t know of any of the information filtered out because that would contaminate him as well.

Once the “filter” work is done, the “filter team” is disbanded because they cannot remain with the prosecution — they possess information about compelled statements that the prosecution cannot know.

These are well established and well-understood practices and procedures in DOJ. Durham would have needed someone he knew and trusted, and someone who had done sensitive work like this in the past to lead that “filter team.” Their decisions on what to provide the prosecution team and what to hold back would be crucial in how the case developed.
If indictments are imminent, this is generally the point you would expect the “filter team” to depart.

I don’t know if Dannehy was part of the “filter team” or led the “filter team.” But the 6-12 month time frame she was originally given would be consistent with that role. She fits the part of someone whom Durham would have called on to serve in that role, and the time of her departure is consistent with having served in such a capacity.

Just FYI: A factory reset will "delete" user data but its like a FAT table listing a deleted file: The first letter of the filename is replace with a question mark and the system will consider it "free space" which data areas can be overwritten.

From link following quote:

"Part 1. How to Recover Data after Factory Reset on Android Without Backup?

Sometimes, we perform a factory reset without saving our files and therefore we do not have any backup service to rely on. No one can predict when the data loss will happen, let alone preparing a full backup of the phone data in advance. Then how can you recover lost data from Android after factory reset without backup? Don’t panic. You are not at the end of the road. There is still a way to recover data after factory reset.

In such cases, although it is hard to recover all the data, you still can utilize some of the professional data recovery tools to restore your data.

One main advantage of using a data recovery software is that you can not only recover the data lost during factory reset but can also recover the data which was previously deleted from your phone.

You can easily find many data recovery applications on the internet but this third-party data recovery tool will do the best: Jihosoft Android Data Recovery which work efficiently on most of the leading smartphones. This means it also offers Samsung Galaxy S10 data recovery, Huawei P30/P30 Pro recovery, and data recovery for ZTE, Motorola, Xiaomi, and etc.

By using it, you can recover photos, contacts, messages, call history, videos, documents, WhatsApp, Viber and more data after factory reset on Android.

Download Android Data Recovery for Windows Download Android Data Recovery for Mac

Important points to remember while using the Android Data Recovery software: It is not possible to recover all the data by using data recovery software. Some deleted files that have been overwritten before performing the recovery might not get recovered at all. Therefore, it is always recommended to take a backup of your data before performing the factory reset.

Data recovery software works for most of the files such as images, audio files, videos, contacts, text messages, documents and much more. All these files are be found by the data recovery software so that you can restore them easily."

If they didn't use the equivalent of BleachBit on 27 phones then a lot of data is still there.

If they did wipe the phones "with a cloth" then that's obstruction, destruction of government docs, etc.

If there are no indictments of people in the FBI and DoJ who violated the law in surveilling the Trump campaign, and among those ordering such lawbreaking, BEFORE the election, then we might as well just forget the whole thing. Have Bill Barr get on TV and announce that there is officially a two-tiered judicial system, that it’s a big club and you ain’t in it, and drop all of the pretenses.

“One small time scapegoat. As was accurately predicted.”


More and more often, I find myself wishing that there was a secret group of ex-Special Forces operators and ex-CIA operations officers, dedicated to watering the Tree of Liberty with the blood of tyrants - who would exercise righteous judgment against those tyrants (and their minions) on occasion, just to warn them not to go too far. There needs to be some justice, as well as some push-back, against the tide of liberty-destroying statism that has been washing over this country for at least the last several decades (and my theory is that it started no later than during the Wilson Administration, and likely a few decades earlier).

Send that one to Durham and Barr. Save them the expense of buying a clue.

“These are well established and well-understood practices and procedures in DOJ. Durham would have needed someone he knew and trusted, and someone who had done sensitive work like this in the past to lead that “filter team.” “


There’s the rub - who does anyone in the DoJ actually trust? After decades of being infiltrated and run by the Deep State types, that seems almost impossible. Law schools are churning out just about nothing but people who like to exercise power and teaching them how to do so despite the very clear rules against that (starting with the Constitution). Ask me how I know that - because I’m a lawyer and I saw that with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears. I despise most of the members of my profession with a white-hot, burning passion - they are purposely betraying what this country was formed to do, which is to enhance and protect the liberties of the average person.

FBI should have plenty of experts in house on data recovery. DON’T USE THEM! Find out of house, non-FBI club, experts who can recover the data and still maintain the legal necessities.

Heavens. You can just read the Fed Criminal code and list out the felonies of Strozk and the rest. None of this requires legal niceties. It’s as plain as day. Yet Barr can’t find a wrongdoer anywhere.

A friend of mine, who taught law in the LA area until he retired, says the same. He says he tried very hard to create an ethical and moral spirit in his students but over the years, they cared less and less. He says there is very little nobility in the practice of law anymore.

Oh, he can find them quite easily. He just doesn’t want to do so, at least not with any urgency...which goes to my point that NOT indicting people whom they know have done wrong, and doing so BEFORE the election, is its own form of election interference. Especially because of the nature of their collective crime - corruptly trying to use their power to up-end the electoral process and undermine the authority of a duly-elected President - this needs to be brought out BEFORE the election. We simply cannot afford to have the populace have little faith in our electoral process - the minute that even 1/3 of the people don’t trust the system is the minute when our Republic ceases to exist (though it may walk around like a zombie for a little while before collapsing).

AG Barr ought to understand in his bones that you do NOT want that situation in a nation with 500 million firearms, and do everything in his power to head that kind of a situation off ASAP. Doing so will ultimately be looked upon as an act as important as winning the Revolution - and this is a good deal easier. Failure to do so when it was so easy to do will be looked upon as being at least as traitorous as Benedict Arnold’s actions.

It’s obvious that he’s delaying til after November. But is it to avoid affecting the election or is it in hopes that Trump loses and he can let it all drop? My 60 years of political observation says the later, I’m afraid.

Nothing. Will. Happen.

Hope you are wrong and my worries you are right are unfounded.

I honestly believe this is one of the most important factors in this century's first decades, politically.

An enormous number of pro-Trump, patriotic Americans like myself have been impatiently waiting for the normal conventional system of justice to bring the evil ones to fair trial and punishment.

But since Whitewater and the Rose Law Firm, through Comey letting Hillary go, and felonious actions to stage a coup against a legally elected President, and much, much more.....have NOT resulted in painful consequences for the guilty, it means there is one last threadbare string holding America above violent civil war: Barr and Durham acting decisively BEFORE the November, 2020 elections. Either act within normal channels, or it is on your heads what happens, Barr and Durham. We didn't choose any of this.

See my other post on how they have to act or it's over.

I think the lack of Barr and Durham decisively acting against the criminals BEFORE November will trigger the right's version of George Floyd and systemic racism and bringing down statues----and worse later.

No action would mean the guilty Dems always skate and the conservatives go to prison if guilty. There is no reason then to wait patiently any longer.

A phony rigged 2020 election Dem victory after 7 weeks of re-counting mail-in ballots, followed by a century of them like Putin, Castro and Communist China "Dem Prez Stacey Abrams and VP Gretchen Whitmer re-elected with 92%. Tops her 2024 victory total" will be the future, with Deplorables gulags in flyover states.
