This is the sort of thing you see during revolutions, a war being lost or a consulate having to be evacuated. Having an arm of the government do something like this really shows that the people running USAID think they lost a war to an enemy power and are destroying any incriminating evidence.
A senior official at USAID instructed a number of the agency’s remaining staff to convene at the agency’s now-former headquarters in Washington on Tuesday for an “all day” group effort to destroy documents stored there, many of which contain sensitive information.
The materials earmarked for destruction include contents of the agency’s “classified safes and personnel documents” at the Ronald Reagan Building, said an email sent by USAID’s acting executive director, Erica Carr, and obtained by POLITICO.
The email didn’t provide any reason for the document destruction. The building is being emptied out after mass layoffs, which may have disrupted routine document destruction timetables. Customs and Border Protection is planning to move into the USAID facility, having rented 390,000 square feet of office space in the building last month.
Why does USAID even have classified documents in sufficient numbers that they need to be burned en masse? This isn’t the State Department proper. It’s supposed to dispense international aid. Apart from information about local conditions, why is USAID maintaining what it claims are classified documents?
But this is the same USAID that refused to cooperate with the SIGAR watchdog even under Biden. Staffers warned that it was at risk of liability for dealing with terrorists. A law-abiding agency doesn’t need to do a mass all-day burn session before customs moves into the building.
Yeah, that was a curious order. To start with, burn only the stuff that can’t be shredded, shred everything else. Only after all the stuff that can’t be shredded is burned, then burn the shredded stuff.
Where is Kash Patel’s FBI on this ? Why weren’t these documents seized ?
Good question: What gives with this slow-walk?
Yes, as much as I like Patel and Bondi, there haven’t been any arrests or prosecutions. There are more known criminals in DC than any other city in America.
Committee Leaders Stress to NASA the Threat of Elon Musk, Demand Answers on Whether DOGE Has Made Contact
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Ranking Members Zoe Lofgren (CA-18) and Valerie Foushee (NC-04) sent a letter to NASA demanding answers on the safety and status of sensitive data and whether DOGE has made contact with the space agency.
“We have observed, with great alarm, the shocking disregard for data privacy and security protocols exhibited by personnel associated with the so-called ‘Department of Government Efficiency,’ or DOGE, the Ranking Members said in the letter. “The executive order that created DOGE explicitly limited its access to ‘all unclassified agency records,’ and only ‘to the maximum extent consistent with law.’ Recent press reports, however, described a confrontation between DOGE personnel and security officials at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), during which DOGE employees without proper security clearances sought to gain access to secure systems containing classified information.”
Next thing you know , rockets are blowing up and rescue missions are being cancelled .. Just saying
Running away from the police is strong evidence of guilt.
Why does this remind one of the Stasi in East Germany?
Throw in a rock and hammer and you’ll have the Hillary Clinton maneuver?
Erica Carr’s current directive to burn and destroy classified documents is clearly inappropriate and an unmistakable admission of guilt.
Behold the blatant attempt at a cover-up in the making.
It’s not merely inappropriate, it is blatantly illegal, as is the behaviour of anybody complying with that order.
Lock them all away – then throw away the key.
HellAry Klingon used Beach Bit and hammers to destroy hard drives .
they all lie – The only one not lying is President Trump and his cabinet under President Trump. The media and the other elected liars cannot handle that. If transparency hit them, it would be unbelievable to many that still drink their koolaide
Pardon a little schadenfreude …
as the Lefties love to tell us when we point out the unnecessary, intrusive, and wasteful violations of our privacy by government regulators …
*If you have nothing to fear, what have you got to hide?*
They have something to hide from us some Skeletons in their Closet perhaps
