Author edited summary according to twitter handle @HorseWisperer :
Earlier this year Trump appointed a Guiliani associate, Richard Beckler, to the General Services Administration. Beckler assured Trump transition team attorneys that he would not allow the GSA to provide any of their emails to investigators; that he had locked them in a vault that no one could get to. One problem : Beckler fell ill in August and was hospitalized when Special Counsel Mueller’s team ‘came a knockin’ and later died.
The Trump team didn’t know that Beckler had failed to lock down their electronics and emails before he died. And they didn’t know GSA staff had produced them all without telling anyone and had given this treasure trove to Mueller.
As a result, Trump’s people walked into their interviews with Mueller’s team with a completely false sense of confidence he didn’t know what he already knew in spades. They thought he was fishing. He was just reeling fish in.
Can you imagine the freakout that must have occurred in Trumpland when they realized their cleanup guy hadn’t actually done the cleanup after all?
Alllll of the things they thought they had buried were not only not buried; Mueller had them in writing!
Oh, my. Heads are going to roll.
