I don't see how telling Card sets up a 12-hour shredding party. |
|
Once Card (Chief of Staff) is told, the Administration has been informed. They can't just start shredding documents when they have been informed not to. Help me out here.

This administration has been doing whatever the heck it has wanted to for 5 1/2 years. Why would they stop now?

...If they were interested in following the law, the 12 hours wouldn't matter. We all know that for *co, the law is for everyone else but them. So the 12 hours are crucial. LOTS of Documents can be destroyed in that time frame.

4. It could be as simple as him going to a file cabinet |
|
pulling a file and taking it home with him that night. There is no reason to believe there are tens of thousands of incriminating documents lying around.

Who said Gonzalez informed Card not to shred/touch documents?
I think it was more of a "there's going to be an investigation." Period. No 'no shredding'.....just an informal call from one Bushie to another. This wasn't a formal notification, that occurred the next day.
The phone call happened around 8:30pm. Not late.
There is also the issue of Gonzalez basically lying to Justice.

Because Gonzales didn't send out an email generally--or for that matter, station security or lawyers on every floor--there isn't anything to prevent Card from, oh, offhandly mentioning the coming DOJ search for documents to one or two chosen people in a way that isn't recorded. In an elevator, for example.
So those two people decide to empty a wastebasket or two and clean off that silly credenza before there is any PROVABLE communication to them to not destroy anything. They'll deny knowing anything about what Gonzales told Card.
And those two will tell two, etc. A lot can disappear in eight hours in an office where people tend to be there 18 hours a day.
In fact, if Gonzales had simply NOT told card, there is more chance of catching somebody just in the odds.

11. "Can't shred when they have been told not to" ------HAHAHAHA |
|
Oh yes they can. In case you haven't noticed, they can do anything they damned well please and NOBODY has yet figured out how to stop them.
And they had a whole weekend, I hear, not just 12 hours.
