Note to those investigating Trump Aministration:

Tonight, not tomorrow, save your data in a portable format on portable media. Remove it from the place you work and put it in a safe, unexpected place. Tell someone you love where it is.

Please do this immediately. Expect to be removed from any investigation within 48 hours.

Do not release any information at this time, but safeguard it and protect it.

Thank you!

1. Everybody, especially with fam pictures, maintain two backup copies with one offsite.

Standard operating procedure for me for years.

I swap a 3 Terabyte disk drive with it's cousin in the safe deposit box about once every six weeks to two months.

It goes into the machine and backs up all the other drives.

Digital is forever if it is actively archived. The days of putting mom & dad's wedding photos in a box in the basement is long gone.

Hell, make 10 copies. Also, write a letter saying if anything happens to you, it wasn't an accident.

5. I would never recommend either of those things.

Neither organization is trustworthy. I don't recommend sending such data anywhere. My suggestion is that it be retained until needed. Then, a decision can be made about where the information should be sent.

I would not give Assange or Greenwald the sweat off my nether regions.

It should be saved until a strategic time for release occurs.
