OF THE
TIMES
"In 1976, Congresswoman Bella Abzug wrote to CIA Director George H.W. Bush about the existing moratorium on the destruction of CIA files. As the Chairwoman of the Subcommittee on Government Information and Individual Rights, which had jurisdiction over government information policy including FOIA and the Privacy Act, she wanted the moratorium extended — specifically, she wanted to ensure that Congress had time to enact legislation in response to the Church, Pike, and Rockefeller hearings and the resulting reports."Preservation of records — the subject of acrimonious debate during the presidential election, thanks to Hillary Clinton's use of a private server and disappearing documents — is pivotal to government transparency and accountability. And for preventing alterations and staving off lies.
Comment: This is a standard MO among those in the Deep State; accidentally destroy the evidence, heavily redact it, refuse to provide it, or just say that it cannot be released because of reasons concerning "national security". When no one is ever held accountable these psychos feel empowered to do anything - and usually do.
