This is the kind of thing that should not be allowed during the period from the election to inauguration without a thorough explanation of what is being shredded.
Good thinking. It is an obviously unstable time, because of the transition. In this case the outgoing prez has a lot to hide.
Did they say, 'Woodchippers' 😮
I'd probably be ok with that as long as the ones who need it get the ride.
Admittedly a poor look in today's climate but I'd wager it's a standard and scheduled procedure.
The point is: it may be 'standard' procedure, what organization does not benefit from a good gettin' rid of ole' paper cleanout? But then transition between adversarial governments is not so standard. (Sidebar: most data is kept on computers these days).
The point is: What is it that they NEED to shred at this moment? Why not be lazy, go on holiday, and allow the next admin to clean up the records-room?
That would be no problem, if the work was standard and above board.
So maybe a rule ought to be changed at the legislative level. But then again, maybe that won't happen, because organizations are using less and less paper, so it is a diminishing problem.
However, last-minute file-shredding still has plausible deniability on a practical level, because paper tends to hang around like a bad smell, and needs to be cleaned out occasionally.
I think DRan has it correct. The big agencies in DC have contracts with shredding companies (maybe still Iron Mountain?). I was at the Pentagon for 5 years. Shredder trucks showed up once or twice a week (scheduled on the same days) at the east loading dock - no idea how many others went to other loading docks. My co-worker and I still both smoked and we would go out there for either a break or to clear our heads if we were hitting a brick wall in one of our penetration tests.
The trucks would be there for a couple of hours. Most weeks we would see them twice, but every once in a while they wouldn't be there on one of the days, so I bet they were called and told they weren't needed this time.
Now I'm sure more stuff is digital these days (as opposed to the late '90s) but the Pentagon went through a LOT of paper. I'd wager they still do. This doesn't mean the DOJ isn't trying to get rid of bad (to them) info, but the DOJ I'm sure has a ton of paper files/docs for use in court that would need to be shredded once used.
Supposedly white hats ; "They've got it all". Low tech black hats scramble.
I was about to type pretty much the same. Are the black hats too stupid to get the digital thing?

Report: Top CIA, National Intelligence Watchdogs Resign Before Trump Takes Office
Of course they did.
You can Run but you can't hide. That's gunna be fun. Prepare for some weird deaths in the street, in Thailand or something, or maybe we will hear nothing at all.
Also, these 'intelligence watchdogs' know where the bodies are buried, and that the laptop-from-hell was real, I think. CIA about to be gutted, I also think, because there is a primary list, all ready to go - which was instrumental in stealing the election.
Cleaning up before they get caught
Patriots need to rent them all up.....
Not to worry. I hear Matt Gaetz is the driver! Keke
Imagine if the whitehats sent that. Neatly storing the to be shredded documents for future use as evidence.
Rofl I would love that!
I believe they can shred all they want. If these documents are created digitally first the record will still be there.
Shred a few pedovores while you're there!
it shouldnt matter at this point, whatever they try to do. technology is far too advanced to hide anything. If youre really trying to find it, it will be found
Shredder truck arrives ,, White hats park out front ,, Ds brings out only relevant files Of their crimes .. White hats , yeah ,, were shredding them bro ...
Nowadays most records should be digitized anyway. That way they can "accidentally" write over billions of records in a few minutes. Backup gets written over too.
The printers that print all that "paper" are run by computers..."We have it all"-Q
This is my surprised face: :|
Hopefully they are wasting their time, if the WH's have it all anyway. Of course we should recover any hard proof evidence we can that they would want to shred.
This is very common up here. But I have noticed a lot lately. But every agency has these and they are constantly making stops, most even weekly.
