The POTUS appointed an attorney at the GSA to protect the team's emails. Why did he need to do that? Earlier this year, Trump appointed the top attorney at the office responsible for providing all the electronics and email accounts the Trump transition team used. That attorney's name was Richard Backler. 4/ The Hoarse Whisperer? @HoarseWisperer So, Trump appointed Backler and then Backler went and ensured Trump transition team attorneys that he would not allow his org (the GSA) to provide any of their emails to investigators. One problem: Backler fell ill and ultimately passed away. 6/ So, until Mueller's crew started asking Trump aides about those emails, they had absolutely no idea Mueller had them because they thought Trump's guy on the inside was running interference for them. Let that one sink in. 7/ Trump and his flunkies thought their friend at the GSA had locked their emails away literally in a vault no one could get to... They thought their bodies were all buried. 8/ Can you imagine the freakout that must have occurred in Trumpland when they realized their cleanup guy hadn't actually done the cleanup after all? Alllllllll of the things they thought they had buried were not only not buried; Mueller had them in writing! 10/
