Well, well, well........

Deleting inconvenient documents seems to be a staple of the left doesn’t it?

Because that is longstanding Department policy?

On the eve of a new administration?

“former State Department official told the Senate Intelligence Committee he destroyed records in January 2017 at the request of former British spy Christopher Steele, according to a report released on Tuesday.”

Winer corrected his statement in a follow-up interview

"Yeah, I lied to you fellows about that. I guess you caught me. Oh, well. Can I correct my statement? You don't mind? Thanks."

Is it still too early to blame Barr for the lack of action against the Deep State?

But they sent busloads of commandos to arrest Roger Stone because they said he lied to Congress.

If I didn’t know better I would think Republicans are treated just a tad harsher than anyone else.

Steele worked for Deripaska from 2012 to 2017

Its good to remember that, while they were accusing Trump of colluding with Russia, it was Steele who was on contract with Russia. As was Fusion GPS. As was John Podesta. And of course the Clintons took home a boatload of money from the Russians.

So he was allowed to correct his lie with no punishment? Kinda like McCabe?

Meanwhile, the infamous Russian lawyer they keep trying to attach to Trump was working for Fusion, and Fusion for her.

So wait....Steele was writing reports for/to the State Dept. in 2014 and 2015????? Before the Steele Dossier in 2016? This is the first I have heard of this.

fed gov documents come under the FOI rules. I highly doubt that there is anything that is not clear about the FOI rules. There also should be a FOIA officer at each department including the state department. all records go through the FIOA officer so it should not matter if Winer destroyed any documents as there would be copies.

Winer apparently lied to Congress.

Any requests from spook Steele should have gone to file 13. (So imho it is unlikely in real life that Steele made any such request. OTOH i could easily imagine someone like Strzok making such a request, and then telling Winer to claim that Steele made him do it.)

There’s about 5 serious violations of law right there. The time it takes for this to get a plea bargain might tell us how fast Trump intends to move on all of these DC night crawlers.

I seem to remember something about Nixon and 18 minutes of erased tapes.

Winer needs to be charged and take a public perp walk.

So, some guy asks a State Department official to destroy State Department records ( purchased/obtained using taxpayers money, this jerk Steel doesn’t work for free) and the said SD official duly obliges! It doesn’t matter the guy was the source of those records, they are still the property of US government.
You just can’t make this stuff up...
