Newly released records [SEE HERE] from a FOIA show the Weissmann/Mueller special counsel team “accidentally” wiped 15 iPhones of data early in 2018 after the phones were requested by the office of inspector general for review.
Mueller’s lead investigator Andrew Weissmann accidentally wiped two phones himself; through a lengthy process of entering the wrong passcode several times over a period of three hours; removing data to show his activity during the special counsel. Weissmann claimed to have entered the wrong password (takes ten attempts) and that erased all the data. Greg Andre, a former deputy assistant attorney general in the Justice Department’s criminal division, made the same claim.
Wiping your phone to hide damaging information only works if the other phone you are communicating with wipes the same data. Guess what happened? Yup, exactly that.
James Quarles III who worked with Mueller in private practice at the Washington office of Wilmer-Hale, claimed his iPhone magically erased itself.
Before joining the special counsel team Rush Atkinson worked under Andrew Weissmann in the DOJ’s criminal fraud section where he specialized in financial fraud. Atkinson claims he too entered the wrong password ten times and accidentally erased all the data.
At least twelve other people assigned to the special counsel investigation had similar “phone wiped/erased” issues which blocked the inspector general from his review.
One “accidental” method used repeatedly was to place the iPhone in airplane mode and then lock it without providing the password. Retrieval attempts then erased all data, and returned to factory settings after unsuccessful passcode entries.
As we have previously mentioned the two-year Weissmann/Mueller special counsel, May 2017 through April 2019, was a continuum of the corrupt DOJ and FBI efforts that originated prior to the 2016 election. Many of the internal FBI and DOJ officials just transferred from the Clinton email investigation, into the Crossfire Hurricane investigation, and then into the Weissmann/Mueller special counsel investigation.
The corrupt activity within the special counsel tenure was actually worse than the corrupt activity that preceded it.
To give you an idea how difficult it is to wipe the iPhone, watch this video.
This was not done “accidentally”:
.
This is important. As previously mentioned the corrupt activity by the special counsel, during the spygate/surveillance/impeachment continuum, was actually much more severe than the corrupt DOJ and FBI activity that preceded it. https://t.co/5nOOgyN7Fe

If our lame DOJ were to confront them on these crimes, how could it possibly be construed as “politically motivated”?
sundance is right. Barr needs to make a choice, and inform us NOW. Go, no go.
I’m already preparing for no go.
@ Mike… If Barr is dirty, he has ALREADY made his choice; and, no one here is on his list of people to be notified. That TOO will have been already taken care of…
I have often floated the theory on here that perhaps BB is intimidated. Put yourself in his shoes and let me know if you wouldn’t be. He’s getting up there in age and came back from retirement to fill this position. If he tears into them there’s still this little thing called an election coming up. If he charges them it’s an instant pardon and he and his family will be crucified if the left wins. Look at everything the left has done and tell me they’re not capable of it. Now if you are BB do you do it? Or do you wait and see how Nov goes?
Nope. It is because of his age and stature and that he knew what he was signing up for, and he loves his country and the Law, that I do not believe that Bill Barr is intimidated.
I agree that your theory is one of several that are both possible and plausible. The problem is that one can speculate til the cows come home and still not know 100% for sure what’s going on; or, what is best for is to do.
That’s not a good position for American citizens to be in. But, it is what it is; and, sadly, that’s not the worst of it. We have a potential damned if we do vs damned if we don’t situation; i.e., we can choose to wait and see if things turn out well; or, we can blow the whole mess to kingdom come. There’s no guarantee right now that by making either choice, we’ll be better off.
MY CURRENT fall back position is that since we DO still have the ability to blow things up and will STILL have that ability for at least the foreseeable future, that we go with the flow for the time being and give Trump every reasonable opportunity to straighten things out, at least to the point that they’re manageable.
That includes allowing HIM to decide if HIS team is now doing and will continue to do what is best for America LONG TERM.
Having said all that, IF the enemy, for whatever reason, regains the power of the presidency in the next few months, ALL BETS ARE OFF!
Well, after they let Lois Lerner and 6 of her top staffers to claim that all of their laptop hard drives simultaneously failed just after having been subpoenaed , it would be unfair to prosecute these Democrats. Equal justice . Can’t have a two tiered Justice system for Democrats vs other Democrats.
Barr has made his choice. The DOJ is above the law.
Durham will issue a report that all was done by “White Supremacists” hiding in the bushes and close things up with that…sort of the DHS finding as to what is most wrong with the world these days — “White Supremacists”….It would be comical but unfortunately….
The Special Counsel included no African Americans, Indians, Latino …and not a peep.
Muller Lawyer names not unredacted:

DNC is a criminal organization. These Democrat lawyers on the Mueller team are criminals. Nothing more to say. I wonder if the DNC is paying them accordingly?
I truly think you are on to something, Frankly if we hit both parties with an antitrust law maybe we could get some real campaign finance reform. And an alternative third party could come into existence. Not going to happen right now with the Lobbyist and NGO so dedicated to their political party of choice.
DNC is a criminal organization!!! Sure appears that way to me.
Check out their latest criminal activity:
https://canadafreepress.com/article/trump-will-be-reelected-in-a-landslide-but-then?utm_source=whatfinger
No the DNC is threatening them (Barr/Durham) accordingly. The left has no boundaries when it comes to crimes and cover ups. I contend if you were either of those men and/or their families you would be nervous too. I believe Barr to be a good man. If any of you want to see Justice re elect PDT and give him R’s to work with. Many of you don’t seem to understand we are playing a long game. And If we lose this Nov the game goes from long to over.
For all of US common folk to do such a thing in a obvious linked group at the sametime would be something called conspiracy to destroy evidence.
Like I have been saying I doubt any of these layers are going to go to jail simply you just don’t sue lawyers they know the law some have even taken part in writing it at these levels. It is past time for Trump to just pickup the big executive axe and start chopping make it rain pink slips across the DOJ/FBI/CIA federal alphabet soup management ranks. Anyone appointed under Obama would be auto fired, Bush full review of their history then fired if the slightest doubt. After that promote outside of Washington as much as possible then monitor and fire anyone immediately that does any action that causes any doubt.
After and during Trump needs to hit the deep state were it hurts. Their pocket books. Go FULL CEO and call in group of head choppers and auditors (auditors like the ones who run the pig book) then give them full authority to run across the federal gov minus the military side. Here Trump can leverage his business roots pulling from outside gov while doing real damage to the deep state. They always say follow the money well follow it and cut it off.
The severeness packages to fire the tens of thousands of useless, redundant, workers will easily be offset by the next few years of savings and BILLIONS of pork, waste, fraud, outright theft saved can be used for tax relief or the military. Ohh and make that audit fully open to the public offer finders fees to any citizens that find more waste, fraud, corruption (leverage todays internet sloughs and also be a check to keep the auditors honest). Require it to be a annual or at least biannual sweep with a requirement for no repeat staffing. Off shoot departments could be in the DOJ/FBI to review the fraud/theft reviewing voting records and those politicks family financials for prosecutions. The fact we have billions that go overseas into companies that just steel the money while politicks families back here stock or consulting fees from same companies should be low handing fruit.
I like this…it’s a good idea.
I like this…it’s a good idea.
Would the telephone call records not be stored at the NSA, and the texting data stored by the cellular telephone companies, available with a subpoena?
meta data.
you would have to tap into the acutal company lines and go 702 upstream (tht has no been disabled) (due to his high abuse by contractors)
purchase the board – block the release.
nothing money cant do.. without patriotism.
Nellie Wrote it – Fiona Hill coordinated it. Mueller used it… Barr said its enough… __________. The next step is on you. will you inform? will you jump out the hot water?
will you do ANYTHING?

Actually the data is still on the phone. When a computer erases a file it doesn’t remove the data, it just erases the part of the header that tells it where the file resides.
The FBI labs could easily recover that data. It is standard forensics.
Yes but that content will be overwritten eventually when space is needed. That could maybe the reason for keeping quiet about it so the phones get re-issued and filled with other junk.
National Review article says 27 phones
… and don’t jump on me for citing a NR link, please, it’s the first headline I saw
At Least 27 Phones from Special Counsel’s Office Were Wiped before DOJ Inspector General Could Review Them
https://www.nationalreview.com/news/at-least-27-phones-from-special-counsels-office-were-wiped-before-doj-inspector-general-could-review-them/
FTA “Including mobile phones that were “reassigned,” the Special Counsel’s office wiped a total of 31 phones.”
Wouldn’t those phone numbers be a perfect subject for a 702 “about” query?
Barr announces tomorrow that all Team Durham records have been wiped out by a virus known as freakyWeissmann, thought to be planted by the Russians.
Take names.
Every day the media showcases where the vulnerabiities lie.
All institutions, all individuals have vulnerabilities.
I couldn’t agree more. But these are members of a DOJ appointed Special Counsel of Democrat lawyers tasked with investigating the President of the United States who is a Republican. Arrests just aren’t gonna happen.
Barr is in a pickle. These lawyers worked for his BFF Mueller. But Barr will figure a way out of it. He’s a fixer.
This stuff continues and I would venture to guess that between 5% and 10% of the eligible voting population is both aware and concerned about what has been happening in WDC. Maybe if Weissman had deleted a batch of welfare/social security checks or forced PornHub offline for 10 minutes it would have registerd some outrage. I mean really…. who can blame the culprits if they know there is no risk?
Until it sinks in to the other 90% of the country that what is taking place really DOES affect them, it will continue. Cultural and media bias will tilt the country further left, the dependency upon printed money will grow…. until one day there will be some sort of reckoning. God knows what form it will take, whether economically, morally, violently… or all of the above.
Believe your motives are correct but your numbers or scope is not correct. Historicaly, it is a minority of “citizens” that ever become “politically and culturally operational”. We are always carrying between 25% +/- ineffectives + 25% +/- more who choose to “not get involved” or are willfully ignorant.
–Then you take some who oppose reality (like commies) out of the remaining 50% +/-
–now you have an information battle in this “population” which = 40% of the total pop.
*** In some periods of western civ (historically) 10%-20% of the population (meaning one-quarter to half of the “engaged population” is plenty to accomplish your objectives in politics, culture, and physically (militia for example).
[important points]
1 – if they are sufficiently motivated
2 – if they are well informed: meaning NOT JUST common information but common accurate/truthful information
SO, for 80% +/- of the whole population (at times) the info they receive and “when it sinks in” for them is often when its either very late in the change process or even “too late” in the process for effective input.
60 million who voted FOR trump (assuming for now that vote counts are “accurate data”) represents 60/360 or 17% of total population and the total voting population is 35%+/- of the total population… another view is approximately 120 million out of 275 million = 45% of voting age population “play a role”… very consistent with historical data.
### you only need to have 3% active militia supported by 60million+ to be overwhelming and never fire a shot and effect the arrest of all the “criminal” and “seditious/treasonous” targets.
And Horowitz made sure not to mention any of this in his report as to not unsettle those
other 90%.
It doesn’t matter! None of this matters anymore! If you are a believer then you will already have realised that the first two seals have been broken of Daniels scroll, unleashing the White and the Red Horsemen. Trump may win in November but he is just buying us time to prepare. If you are not right with God, now is good of time as never before, because we are indeed in “The End of Times” and fast approaching the tribulation period.
So,….Besides committing a treasonous coup to overthrow a duly elected president, they also destroyed evidence and obstructed justice.
There must be a reckoning one way or another after the election (in which another coup attempt is already planned).
It sounds like there might just be a reckoning, but if the demonRats manage to steal the election, it’ll likely happen before slow jo can go anywhere. These idiots really don’t understand the level of cold anger that’s out in the hinterlands. And, I live in the burbs outside of the district of criminals. AND, I don’t even own a firearm. (Great living in a state where you have 50 bazillion hoops to jump through to even look at one! NOT!!!!/s)
but did he have intent to erase all data on 10 phones….
It occurred to me that besides all their plotting against Trump and America, via their phones….it’s highly possible the phones were also loaded with porn as well as lascivious texts with co-workers…etc. Not only nefarious political plots, but plenty of morally depravity. I mean, come on….they’re leftists.
Texting and photos of the other family.

If they’re criminals, I’d say the odds are close to 100%.
Coldanger: BINGO!!! Thank you!
Barr and Durham are schiff stains on the U.S.A.
These 2 wouldn’t convict a jay-walker, they have no idea how tired i am of them failing to convict these felons. Complete bull shiff.
I’d rather you demand justice and stand by.
Disappointing as it is Winston Churchill 1941
This is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense.
Giving in is exactly what they want.
Now they’re just taking the piss.
Barr needs to round up all 15, at least perp walk them for the crime of gross stupidity, combine the case, run it in front of one judge at one time. That’ll show how ridiculous it is for each of the 15 to say, “Oops, i put in the wrong code 10 times”.
The people are lying sons of bitches, all need to be arrested with NO BAIL, and if convicted the [public should be allowed to mete out their punishment.

we need a procedure for getting h: documents
Find that shared folder and start investigating.
And don’t forget to check C:
That’s where all the good info is most likely….
What jack asses the special counsel was comprised of….
Arrest them or this country is doomed……
Makes me mad to say the least……
Sorry to vent….
I don’t understand. Even if they “wiped” their phones, the provider would still have a record, right? Unless a special request to delete all data was made. This is total B.S.
FBI has ways to retrieve it if they really wanted to. But they don’t.
NSC has a fancy dancey facility in Utah that stores all captured electronic data from the last 10+ years, I suggest a search ve started there for the “missing” information.
If the only thing I knew about America’s justice system was that Weismann is still a free man, I would know beyond doubt that it is corrupt to the bone.
This corruption continues day after day with no effort to stop it. DOJ/Barr/Durham do nothing and I’m sick of hearing that they will come through someday. This event is a clear example they could jump on immediately to show justice, but they don’t. They will find another Clinesmith-type crook and let him plead down to littering on the street. Our justice system is moving from ‘what a joke’ status to ‘corrupt to the core’ status. Next is the ‘get conservatives regardless of the law’ status. Sorry, but it’s not looking good for us–
It’s been a year and a half.
It’s all theater. If the IG were serious he wouldn’t request, he would subpoena. Ignoring a subpoena has consequences… we can’t have that. Requests can be ignored.
Theater only, the appearance of doing an investigation. DOJ omerta in full force.
Excerpt:
Numerous phones were “accidentally” wiped of data because the phone’s owner allegedly tried to enter the wrong password multiple times, the documents indicate. Many consumer phones manufactured today include features in which too many incorrect password attempts result in a wholesale data wipe.
At least one phone — that belonging to FBI lawyer Lisa Page — had simply been “restored to factory settings” upon receipt by the inspector general.
Among the special counsel members whose phones were wiped was Andrew Weissmann, one of the probe’s chief investigators. Weissmann “entered [the phone’s] password too many times and wiped the phone,” the documents state.
Quarles’ phone wiped itself. Is there an app for that?
do you think if one single target of theirs and associated with Trump had accidentally wiped their phone or laptop…..there would have been anything less than a total demolition/”search” of every single property they own?
This is beyond the pale. Weissman and his cohorts are despicable human beings.
I wonder if Apple has the statistics on how many times one of their phones is wiped by the 10-11 incorrect passwords method?
I’d bet a dollar to a doughnut that it’s as rare as hen’s teeth and, according to statista . com, between 2014 and 2018 they sold over 1 BILLION iPhones.
I’m not an attorney nor a statistician, but I’d bet another dollar to a doughnut that if Apple has that data the odds of two phones in the same organization, much less 15, being wiped in that manner are so astronomical that it could be proven unequivocally in a court of law that it had to have been done intentionally.
But I’m not holding my breath.
While it is little consolation I find some solace by reminding myself that even if they do not face justice in this world they undoubtedly will in the afterlife.
If there is ANY justice in this world,those lying dirt bags will get it,right after the election.Gallows right in the middle of Washington.
If it is standard practice to charge people with obstruction when they erase or destroy evidence then…. why weren’t they charged?
Conspiracy to obstruct justice.
Man they are so laughing at us at this point.
The disgust I feel for our government and the DOJ is off the charts.
I feel numb.
Accident … riiiiiight.
Consequences … snicker … only for the American Republic. As for the lawyers … they’ve got the biggest protection racket around, a great big circle ………. [you finish the sentence].
IMHO, what we have is a very sick republic suffering from stage 4 corruption. It is my belief that only a miracle can save us. I expect nothing from anyone in DC. Trump can’t save it. Even with 4 more years what happens then? It will only happen when enough AMERICANS decide enough is enough and do something about it. You will be considered enemies of the state but it may be good to be an enemy of this state. When patriots start hanging the corrupt from the street lights in DC maybe, just maybe the patient can be saved.
That is probably the ONLY way to deal with these”Seditionists”They will NEVER concede and they MUST be made to pay dearly for their crimes against the people of America.
whos FOIA was it?
Judicial Watch…
It’s the IRS scandal v2.0. This is almost exactly what Lois Lerner & Crew did when they got caught breaking the law. In their case, a bunch of computers all magically wound up being destroyed in “routine” tech refreshes.
They learned their Peter Strzok lessons.
I would send a FISA up calling them agents of a foreign power, and have the NSA send everything collected. My would that be fun.
They learned from Clinton. Destroy evidence and play dumb.
Doesn’t the NSA record and keep all our data in that supercomputer storage facility out in Utah?
Or is it only NonLeftists they are recording.
Wasn’t half the Mueller report written about obstructing justice?
Oh the sick irony.
Where is Mueller’s phone? I wonder if the SS downloaded that after they found it hidden in that sofa?
How about they are corrupt, stupid, and EVIL….. but all those phones certainly weren’t wiped by “accident” ….. would not happen in even one case, never mind so many from the same team at the same time…. AFTER the IG had requested the phones for its investigation.
Hillary’s “what, you mean like with a cloth” wiping is a lot more believable than a gaggle of allegedly intelligent legal deviants all entering wrong passwords 10 times. Hey NSA, can you help these poor Dummies (of the Fred Sanford type) out and found the content that they “accidentally” erased. That info likely included the real stuff from the Mueller/Weissmann team. Now there’s a group of 702s We the People really have an interest in seeing. Mr. Radcliffe, you’re on the clock to produce!!
Please let this info be in Utah. That will allow prosecution there and not in DC, right? They “lost” their DC rights when they went brain dead!!
SO WHY DIDN’T DEMOCRAT IG MICHAEL HOROWITZ TELL US ABOUT THIS in his briefing and report???!!!
No proof of political bias?
Twenty seven Angry Democrat DOJ attorneys erase their phones??!!
1. Grill them all.
2. Then fire them.
3. And all Attorneys get disbarred.
4. Plus indictments.
Notice he did not subpoena the phones, only request them.
Could this please be a process crime the members of the SC can be charged with and face jail time? Please?
They probably all had revealing photos of Lisa Page and had to be wiped.
She sounds like the town bike.
These are iPhones so they are primarily wiping their iMessage history and anything else they had stored in iCloud. Despite what everyone seems to be saying on twitter, the NSA does not have your iMessages.
But they will have metadata on who was phoning and messaging who.
I would imagine someone as despicable as Weissman would have continued to communicate with Strozk after he was fired.
And very likely persons such as McCabe, Brennan and Clapper would have been updated on the attempts to hide their conspiracy and bring down Trump.
And of course CNN, Washington Compost and the New York Slimes would have been on speed dial.
They will have metadata on phone calls but not iMessages. iMessages would just look like encrypted internet data.
Res ipsa loquitur.
15 counts of Obstruction.
Obstruction of Justice. Purposefully violating Federal Records Act. Conspiracy
The FBI, a $10B agency apparently doing work so unimportant it doesn’t need to be backed up.
Crazy talk. Next you’ll be suggesting they tape interviews instead of manually writing them up with pen and paper afterwards.
Seriously, just close the FBI, it’s done.
Someone needs to ask Bob Woodward.. “Hey Bob, what if Nixon doubled down on his innocence? What if the FBI and CIA were all of the same mindset as Nixon and buried it all? What if the media turned on Dean and made him the scapegoat? What if you were raided at 2AM and arrested on trumped up charges with your credibility trashed because you are now a suspected felon?” Sound ridiculous? Well, you stupid pinhead… it’s NOT because it’s happening all around you. Where’s your reporting on THAT. It couldn’t be because it’s not your TEAM under assault, could it?? And since the current president is even less likable to you than Nixon, you don’t give a good goddam about anything unless it can prop up your fading “legacy” and sell a book or two.
I wonder what might accidentally happen to all these people that accidentally can’t remember their passwords and wipe their devices accidentally.
There could be a horrible accident ahead. Funny how accidents happen in clusters.
They could be accidentally identified everywhere they go. They could be accidentally called out for their illegal behaviour. They could accidentally have protests at their places of work or at their homes. They might accidentally be driven from restaurants when they try to dine out. They could be accidentally identified when they go out for a walk.
The accidental coincidences are huge in number.
Accidentally, the entire remainder of their lives could be accidentally revoked.
They might accidentally kill themselves to get away from all the accidental coincidences. It would be a horrible accident, if they saved the taxpayers money by accidentally removing themselves.
I remember seeing a scumbag lawyer at an El Pollo Loco getting lunch 20 years after he screwed a friend in a lawsuit that he charged insane fees to the second of time, but did nothing to actually fight for the client. I suspect that his entire career was collecting fees and screwing clients. He looked like death warmed over. He was continually glancing over his shoulder behind himself and scanning the restaurant. He was obviously scared to death that someone that he has screwed over was going to come back and even the score.
I considered going up to him and saying something like “your days are numbered, dirtbag”, but didn’t because I actually felt a bit sorry for him. I was not a party to the lawsuit. If he had been looking like his old smug self, I would have done it.
I suspect that the lawyer is now either dead, as a result of the fear of former clients or from a former client actually terminating his life.
I relate this story, to instill fear in the lawyers that worked for Weissman/Mueller. You will not live a normal life. You will be ostracized for the rest of your lives for the evil that you have promulgated, best case. Worst case, use your imagination.
If today’s DOJ behavior gets to you, do a little research into the crime labs scandals over the past 20 years or so. Scarcely remembered nowadays…. just as today’s lawbreakering acts will be forgotten to make way for even worse offenses. I wonder what it will be like when the camel’s back finally breaks, because it always………… it always does.
Hmmm, did Hillary show them all how to do that? ?
These people are so corrupt, I have no words anymore to describe. Just arrest them all already
