But their emails.
Several members of the Trump campaign deleted emails and other electronic communications before Special Counsel Robert Mueller was able to see them, according to the censored version of the Mueller report released on Thursday.
According to the report, "some of the individuals we interviewed or whose conduct we investigated including some associated with the Trump campaign deleted relevant communications or communicated during the relevant period using applications that feature encryption or that do not provide for long-term retention of data or communications records."
Because people close to Trump destroyed evidence, Mueller's investigation was hindered.

Destruction of evidence is fine if a celebrity President says so. You can do anything.

Isn't this obstruction?
Didn't Mueller have enough money in his budget to work to obtain deleted e-mails and electronic communications? I thought if one searched hard enough that these e-mails and communications are out there and can be recovered?

It's really starting to feel like we are going to learn Nixon, in his comments to David Frost, was right...when the president does it, it's not a crime.
WTF. Sorry for the mini-rant, it's just initially a bleak day.

Or subject to Federal Record Keeping regulations?
That could be a big felony (ies)
