'Dour' White House staff trying to talk Trump out of shutting down Mueller probe as indictments loom

8. Kinda hard to destroy evidence these days.

I worked in litigation as a paralegal for years and handled the evidence. Everything is digitalized, if it's not already, multiple digital copies are made and housed in databases, which are backed up. They are indexed & summarized....also digitalized. And many of the documents (and testimony) are ultimately printed out. All the team members have copies of evidence pertaining to what they are working on.

Whitaker would see summaries of the evidence. Even if he got access to the database and destroyed it or a single piece of evidence, there is a backup. No one piece can go missing without it being noticed. Every document, every email, every photo, every witness statement is summarized and listed and distributed to the team members. Each piece of evidence is assigned a number. If one is removed intentionally, the numbered space indicates that it's intentionally blank.
