NEWS: At least 27 phones used by the Mueller team were wiped before they could be checked for records.

Some phones just wiped themselves, in other cases there was mass password amnesia that required resets.

Andrew Weismann wiped two of his three Special Counsel's Office phones.

He wiped one by accident.

He wiped the other by entering the wrong password too many times.

Has anyone ever wiped their phone by accident? Asking for a friend.

UPDATE: Counting the phones which were "reassigned," the Special Counsel's Office wiped 31 phones before they could be checked for records.

A phone belonging to James Quarles "wiped itself without intervention from him."

Federal records show that Mueller deputy Andrew Weismann claims to have "accidentally" wiped, via wrong passwords at least 2 phones detailing his activity during the anti-Trump probe. James Quarles' phone "wiped itself." Greg Andre also made the same wrong password claim...

Mueller deputy Kyle Freeny similarly claimed that his phone was accidentally wiped after too many wrong passwords were entered. Same with Mueller deputy Rush Atkinson.

At least a 12 other officials whose names are redacted also claimed to have "accidentally" nuked their phones.

The newly released DOJ records from the OIG investigation of corruption during the Mueller probe shows that a key tactic used by the Mueller team was to put the phones in airplane mode, lock them, and then claim they didn't have the password.

What are the actual probabilities of more than a dozen top Mueller officials all "accidentally" nuking their phones or accidentally putting them in airplane mode, locking them, and "forgetting" their passwords so the DOJ OIG couldn't access and examine them? Negative 100,000%?

Can't have the coordination with the Dems easily tracked.

They're never completely "wiped". If there was something there, it'll be retrieved.

Decatur and TigerDoc think this is perfectly acceptable behavior.

Does the NSA not have access to this data?

They wiped the phones of Strzok and Page before they could be examined for more evidence...that came out last year, so this is not surprising.

If any of us wiped a phone involved in case, or a hard drive from a server or a blackberry...or smashed it, we'd go to jail for destruction of evidence or obstruction of justice. Yet these phukers can do it left and right and no one gives a shite.

Yet nothing will come of this. No consequences for these crooked POS, so they will keep doing it. All the justice department has to do is hang one or 2 for treason, or send a few to jail for the rest of their lives and the others will fall in line. And I’m talking high level folks, not lowly fall guys.

Wiping your phone to hide damaging information only works if the other phone you are communicating with wipes the same data. Guess what happened? Yup, exactly that.

James Quarles III who worked with Mueller in private practice at the Washington office of Wilmer-Hale, claimed his iPhone magically erased itself.

Before joining the special counsel team Rush Atkinson worked under Andrew Weissmann in the DOJ’s criminal fraud section where he specialized in financial fraud. Atkinson claims he too entered the wrong password ten times and accidentally erased all the data.

At least twelve other people assigned to the special counsel investigation had similar “phone wiped/erased” issues which blocked the inspector general from his review.

One “accidental” method used repeatedly was to place the iPhone in airplane mode and then lock it without providing the password. Retrieval attempts then erased all data, and returned to factory settings after unsuccessful passcode entries
