This week in: “Imagine if Obama did it”
RICO charges need to be brought against this entire administration once this madness is over.
Who’s going to stop them?
A judge should not have to rule on destroying evidence. Our government are cartoons.
Good fucking luck. Enough evidence is already out there and the truth is known. No amount of lying to America and the world is going to be enough. Neither the public nor a jury will ever accept the bullshit they’re trying to feed us. When (not if) the long arm of the law comes for the people who did this, and those who ordered and abetted it, we will already know the truth, and justice WILL be served.
They greatly overestimate the number of Americans who love the taste of their boot leather enough to swallow their lies.
reading this like “Trump team demands right to destroy evidence” and I am like………… seriously? never in a million yrs did i think that headline would be real. glad the judge said nope but also like why was this even on the table? this situation overall is just a huge mess.
The trials of the entire surviving administration will be the biggest event for schadenfreude in global history.
Totally something innocent people would demand.
Demanding right to destroy evidence… I’m sure they’ll AI up their own evidence
Guaranteed that they already destroyed evidence and are asking for permission to do so now. So the judge best be ready to throw them into Guantanamo Bay.
It’s apparently Walz’s fault for not convincing people to not exercise their 1st amendment rights. That is the logic being proposed by the Trump administration.
That’s actually insane.
Theyve already done it. THe moaning is a cover up
So what they’re saying is they already destroyed or altered the evidence.
The unique thing about our current time and place is that the government is slow and data and people are fast. I’m not saying it’ll prevent anything or everything, but one thing it will do is help with controlling the narrative.
Imagine if nobody had filmed or posted anything that happened. Then they could tamper with evidence, report falsely against what happened, etc.
Make no mistake they’re still trying to do just that, but at least in its modern state, the internet is still disseminating and enabling we the people to provide our own narrative.
Everyone has already seen enough evidence. Not sure what they are trying to accomplish.
Go ahead and destroy it. We have plenty to convict with. You destroying it just makes your case that much weaker. And in what fucking world is it ever necessary to destroy evidence in the first place? It’s one thing to ignore it. It’s another to destroy it. This isn’t a Yacht baby on Lake Michigan.
When the punishment for destroying evidence is less than what would come of the evidence, they will destroy it.
I’m telling you we’re gonna need to fire back at some point or this tyranny isn’t going to stop.
Their reasoning is basically that they dont want to submit to any oversight or compliance requirements. These people seem to think that this administration is not answerable to anyone. In their own words noone should “boss the federal government around about how it carries on that authority. ”
From the [filing](https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.mnd.230788/gov.uscourts.mnd.230788.14.0_3.pdf):

Too late
So you might as well come out and say that it was a crime.
Oh thats cute. They will do it anyhow.
Destroying evidence is what innocent upstanding people do?
“I would never try to cover my tracks!”
If not guilty, why destroy evidence?
If everything was on the up-and-up there was no need to destroy anything.
I demand the right to bear arms.
Oh, a court order, I’m sure that’ll stop em
What the fuck?? Get this fucker out of the white house!!
HOW is this even a QUESTION ??? has the world gone mad?
Wait, they actually ASKED to destroy evidence???? LOL since when have they asked anyone for any of their backwards neo-colonial bullshit maneuvers???
HOW IS THIS EVEN A THING THAT NEEDS TO BE DISCUSSED?
We live in the worst timeline.
No need to destroy evidence if no wrong doing was done. So are they admitting wrong doing?
Next: ICE wasn’t even there that day, that was just a bunch of libruls cosplaying.
Jesus all you Magats, if dear leader wants to destroy evidence is there a chance you can admit there is guilt on your side? Can you admit being wrong ever?
All of you who voted for Trump now is your chance to chime in and take credit for this.
What in the actual fuck?
Something is seriously wrong in this world if an administration is demanding they be able to alter evidence and are not getting in trouble for it
This is not the behavior of innocent people.
Article 2, section 4 NOW!
“The right to destroy evidence” in a shooting that is only days old should be very telling what said evidence proves.
They’ll do it anyway and there will be zero consequences other than a judge issuing an order of contempt… For which nothing will happen to anyone.
Only guilty people would want to destroy evidence.
The evidence that they are likely destroying is camera footage that shows who fired and when. Also shells that would have fingerprints, indicating who fired shots. ICE collected all of them. The ICE agent who stole Alex Pretti’s firearm has fingerprints all over it, and some say that he fired the weapon, prompting the others to open fire.
If this evidence is destroyed, none of them can be held accountable.
When KKKaroline keeps saying this administration is the most transparent in history, it means exactly the opposite
Super fucking throw the book at these lawless assholes.
Is anyone wondering why a judge would even need to do this? Evidence tampering is already illegal. The fact that we need to put this on the record for them is beyond the pale, my fellow Americans.
Ok, but how do you un-destroy evidence when they ignore the judge?
The government should NEVER be destroying evidence.
