        So you’ve got a reason why a vague report of documents being shredded should be explicitly investigated, instead of investigating the mountains of documents that this group saved and which have already been highly incriminating?

        It just seems like a real waste of time to investigate the destruction of documents by a group of known individuals whose job is to selectively destroy documents. What is there to gain?

          Understanding is to be gained. You can dance around that all you want but it’s clearly suspicious even if there was no wrongdoing

            Understanding of what, though? We already know they destroyed documents, and there’s mundane procedural explanations for the hypothetical discrepancy in amounts, and the group under suspicion has demonstrated they kept plenty of incriminating (or at least extremely suspicous and relevant) documents unshredded. What’s the question an investigation here would answer?

              Are you really trying to suggest that investigation should only happen if you already know what you’ll find? This is so intelligence insulting I don’t know if you’re calling me stupid, you stupid, or both. 👋

                Nnnnno, I’m suggesting that unless you have a question that you want answers to there’s no point in investigating something. Even a fact-finding mission has a goal. Whats the goal with investigating this?

                  “why were these fucking files destroyed?”

                  How is that not abundantly obvious? Answer: it is.

                    Yeah, this is exactly my initial point. You already have that answer - the BoP’s team’s job was to, among other things, preserve relevant material (ergo the rest aren’t preserved). Shredding documents is so routine that they have a shredded document dumpster, so presumably documents are regularly shredded when they are deemed not worth preserving.
