The American Center for Law and Justice is asking the Justice Department to provide information regarding the wiping of data from more than two dozen government phones used by Robert Mueller's special counsel team before they were handed over to the inspector general.
Just the News reported some of the phones were said to have been "Mistakenly" wiped while others were "Reassigned" prior to the inspector general's review, according to docments already obtained by Judicial Watch.
A phone used by Andrew Weissmann, the Mueller probe's chief investigator, was among the phones wiped.
Weissmann "Entered password too many times and wiped the phone," a DOJ document said.
"We will find out whether this was intentional obstruction and destruction of evidence, if there was evidence of some other crime, or if the Mueller team was truly this inept at handling cell phones," said the ACLJ's Jordan Sekulow in a statement.
Sekulow said the Mueller team's lead prosecutor, Andrew Weissman, "Essentially blamed his wiped phone on what we can only call 'password amnesia,' claiming he repeatedly entered the incorrect password too many times and the phone ultimately cleared itself."
"And now, with every thread that gets pulled, the whole thing unravels a little more, revealing a tangled mess. Maybe those phones would have been the biggest thread of all, the one that tears the whole thing apart and leaves them all exposed. Why else would an entire team 'accidentally' erase their phones, in some instances multiple times?".
