    No worries. Wasn’t clear. I’m saying they should investigate to see if they catch one of the guys doing the shredding. If they find them, prosecutors can try to “flip” them. Get the person to give up (or turn) who told them to destroy things.

    Imagine Bill Barr ordered the destruction. The guy he ordered could turn him in.

      We know that, though - according to this it was ordered by the BoP team, and they aren’t some unknown group. If you mean who were ordering them then yeah, there may be something there - but they haven’t flipped yet, and if they were in on the conspiracy it’s weird they left so many incriminating documents unshredded which were then later released.

        There’s a reason that they say: “It’s not the crime, it’s the cover-up.”

        Don’t underestimate what people will do when they think they are up against a wall.

        In this case the cover-up has been pretty good.

          But nobody’s up against a wall here - they saved tons of relevant documents, plenty of it incriminating. Beyond this vague claim that there was more shredding than usual, there’s no evidence that this was part of the coverup - that there is a coverup is obvious, but then they keep releasing documents that could have been destroyed by the BoP team and weren’t, and which make them look just awful. I don’t see what there is to gain from investigation into documents destroyed by Team Document Destruction! when we already know they both destroyed lots of documents and didnt destroy ones that punch big holes in the coverup.
