@kylegriffin1 @mitchellreports Good. Obstruction of justice charges will be piled on top of everything else. The line in cuffs will be long.

2. I hope just as a precaution that someone on the net is archiving all the tweets from the

Con, POTUS, and his children of the corn and of course kushner and anyone else that tweets in that mess of a house. Might be useful to show a timeline if needed.

Here's an old article but the links may still be good...

This is obstruction of justice. Even if there's nothing earth-shattering in those devices, they have just broken the law by destroying anything that is under a a preservation order.
