FBI is reconstructing shredded documents obtained during Cohen raid

Cohen probably cut them in half with scissors and then frog danced around the room high-fiving his cats.

You know, the Cooley Law way.

Wonder how I could apply for that job?

Do you have any experience with school paste?

Indicated he was destroying evidence? How many offices and individuals have shredders and use them for security or other purposes? Are they all destroying evidence?
He may have been destroying evidence or he may have been using the shredder for legitimate purposes. The existence of shredded documents does not mean he was destroying evidence.
And, would deleting thousands of emails shortly before an investigation be an indication of destroying evidence?

I am sure this is all one big coincidence

Bong fires and marshmallows.

Dude bong fires

Bong fires

Bonfire, that is. I am tired.

And this no edit button thing is like taking one’s belt.

There are shredded documents in companies all over the country, all over the world, tonight. Anyone who is drawing a conclusion based on that it…mistaken.

Also so great…Trumps lawyer is a cheap skate and doesn’t even buy the best equipment for the job.

Cohen should have used bleachbit

tnt · 2018-05-31T01:00:28.852Z

The conclusion I am drawing is, the FBI thinks Cohen shredded documents they are interested in.

Not a crime to shred documents, unless he shredded documents he was ordered to turn over.

Roxiebelle · 2018-05-31T01:00:48.831Z

Are they that desperate to find something? How stupid is this, good grief!

My conclusion is I don’t know what they think, but they are going through whatever documents they can find and shredded documents are still documents (once reconstituted). Just like they did with the new found Hillary emails.

man, that’s gotta make Trump voters nervous.

and Trump himself.

I am sensing an opportunity in the marketplace. Shredders with integral incinerators.

Oh yeah. Bigly experience. There wasn’t a colored piece of construction paper that ever came loose from any of my hand silhouette turkeys or macaroni festooned cigar boxes.

I was good!

You’re in. Report to Whitehaven NLT 4337. Irene.

I’ll get right on that.

Thanks.

Interesting. I wonder how they’re doing it. They’ve asked for quite some time. Didn’t some software company a while ago put something together that could take image files from shredded documents and reconstruct them?

Of more interest in this is the obvious paucity of privileged communication in what has been reviewed so far. Of a million pieces turned over to the prosecution, only 252 have been flagged as possibly privileged.

Seems Cohen did very, very, very little actual lawyerin’.
