Schumer said there is legitimate concern that President Trump’s circle of advisers may try to destroy evidence that could shed light on the substance of reported conversations with Russian agents.

6. It's way to late for them to do document purge. The intelligent groups have all that is needed

7. Bannon / Flynn was using a non-government device / service. I think insecure emails are involved too

8. If CIA/NSA is doing their job...

then destroying the records won't work- they (CIA/NSA) will have copies.

[TrekLuver]

10. Yeah THEY KNOW....please go ahead and destroy evidence it will just add to the guilt pile or

I hope pyre.

[simguy225]

13. The only hope I hold on to...

is that the CIA does not like to be made fools of.

[TrekLuver]

14. They don't...who would? Look at the State Dept...record number on their dissent "channel"...

No these people are not going to like these fools in all these agencies.

15. Could those intelligence agencies

forward their findings to Senator Schumer, that is why we need a bipartisan committee to review their findings.

I could see John Dean, and Richard Ben-Veniste on this committee.
