Statute of limitations should be raised to 20 years for lying to Congress. Refusal to testify under oath should get you sent to jail. Still want to scream because Eric Holder refused to testify what he knew about in the death of border patrol agent Brian Terry. If he didn’t know anything why did he refuse?
I guess I'm a bit confused. Why do they need a "black hole" system if they can just delete files? Or is that what you mean by "black hole"? For paper files, there is always the paper shredder or the incinerator.
Deleting electronic files can be a bit tricky though because it can be difficult if not impossible to delete all records on external email servers that you don't control.
I think the concept is a "Seventh Floor Folder", which only the elite few running things have knowledge of. There may be many more such folders, not only in this agency, but all others. It's designed explicitly to avoid oversight.
Yeah, but why would take the risk of leaving these files around anywhere where someone might find them when they can just delete them? I would guess that file deletions started as soon as Trump was elected, and they had at least three months to clean things up before the Trump administration could do anything about it.
Among the plethora of questions which
arise are:
First, who actually had access to the “prohibited files” system?
And even more importantly, Who was in charge of deciding who gets permitted access?
Also, what other agencies have a similar system set-up?
The black hole of corruption just goes deeper and deeper, and wider and wider.
