Once redacted, are the files gone forever?

Or can the information be recovered?

Is this a destruction of evidence by the Executive and the DOJ?

Cannot the Congress request a Judge to rule on the maintaining of files in their original form, even if redacted? If files are redacted and originals are not kept, it is the same as destruction of evidence in an investigation. The FBI should be put on notice. "I was just following orders" does not protect you from prosecution if you break the law.

It is clear that Donald Trump wants the entire DOJ to scrub all these files before they are turned over to anyone. There are simply too many files to go over thoroughly in the amount of time they have had. They will miss a lot of names and information by error or simole volume that must be looked at.

The FBI should be reminded that they work for the American people, not Donald Trump.

This has the makings of the largest cover-up in the history of the world. This makes Watergate pale in comparison. This involves many countries and leaders around the world and their most wealthy citizens involved in a massive child sex ring and criminal enterprise.

We cannot permit the evidence to be destroyed nor let them coverup this crime.

They must turn over the files immediately.
