Galaxy Brain Sean Hannity Advises Mueller Targets to Smash Their Cell Phones

Sean Hannity has some departing words for Trump associates before he heads to Singapore to cover the president’s back-on-again summit with Kim Jong-un: Smash the hell out of your phones before Robert Mueller can get his treasonous hands on them. The Fox News host came up with the novel idea, which he laid out in detail Wednesday night on Hannity, after CNBC reported that Special Counsel Mueller has asked witnesses to turn in their phones so his team can access messages sent over encrypted apps.

"If I advise them to follow Hillary Clinton’s lead, delete all your emails and then acid wash the emails and hard drives on your phones," he said. "Then take your phones and bash them with a hammer into little itsy-bitsy pieces, use BleachBit, remove the SIM cards and then take the pieces and hand it over to Robert Muller and say, 'Hillary Rodham Clinton. This is equal justice under the law.'"

Perhaps realizing that destroying evidence is a federal offense, Hannity clarified that he was kidding and then proceeded to once again fantasize in detail about how witnesses could stick it to the special counsel. "Mueller wants everyone's cell phones,” Hannity continued. “My advice to them – not really, kidding, bad advice – would be, follow Hillary's lead. Delete them, acid wash them, bust them up, take out the SIM cards and say, 'Here Mr. Mueller, here, I’m following Hillary's lead.'"

According to CNBC, Mueller's team began asking witnesses to turn over their phones in order to access conservations held on encrypted apps like Signal and WhatsApp in April. The witnesses have complied, fearing Mueller would issue a subpoena if they didn’t, but not all of them were thrilled to hand over their smartphones to the special counsel.

"used acid to destroy emails"

https://www.factcheck.org/2016/09/trump-pence-acid-wash-facts/

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump falsely claimed Clinton “acid washed” 33,000 personal emails to delete them, calling it “an expensive process.” The FBI said Clinton’s tech team used BleachBit, which is a free software program. It does not use chemicals.

Not only that... but the record of calls made or received by a cell phone are recorded in many many places... as are the text messages or emails. Destroying the cell phone does almost nothing to erase data.

Voice calls are not stored anywhere... on the cell or otherwise UNLESS the FBI was already "wiretapping" the phone... and if they were, you are likely in a lot of trouble no matter what.
