At Least 27 Phones from Special Counsel’s Office Were Wiped
More than two dozen phones belonging to members of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team were wiped clean of data before the Justice Department’s inspector general could comb them for records, the DOJ said in records released Thursday.

At least 27 cell phones were wiped of data before the DOJ inspector general could review them, some reset to factory settings and some wiped “accidentally” after the wrong password was entered too many times, according to 87 pages of DOJ records regarding the phones issued to members of the special counsel’s office. Including mobile phones that were “reassigned,” the Special Counsel’s office wiped a total of 31 phones.

A phone belong to assistant special counsel James Quarles “wiped itself without intervention from him,” the DOJ’s records state.

Andrew Weismann, a top prosecutor on Mueller’s team, “accidentally wiped” his cell phone, causing the data to be lost. Other members of the team also accidentally wiped their phones, the DOJ said.

Phones issued to at least three other Mueller prosecutors, Kyle Freeny, Rush Atkinson, and senior prosecutor Greg Andres were also wiped of data.....................................................................

Probably assasination threats. You know they made they made them. We will never see that.

Remember if they are investigating you and you wipe your phone you are going to jail.

Hmmmm... I'd wager the NSA has all of it. They should if Snowden was telling the truth.

How many of you have ever accidentally wiped your phone? We might get one on the entire board and he wouldn't admit it.

Pretty sure it's next to impossible to "accidentally" wipe a phone.

I did. But let me tell you how it happened.. It was an iPhone. Company has this program that "stores" passwords and from time to time it would go haywire and swap passwords between two different phones. It happened on a Saturday morning, I had no use for it Saturday, then that evening I tried to see an email and it didn't recognize my thumbprint or my password. The other guy had the sense (it happened before to him) to wait til Monday and call the office and have IT unlock it, not me. Nope kept trying my password or thumbprint. And finally it wiped itself. It wasn't an easy task. It would lock itself for 5 minutes.. 10 minutes.. 30.. After it locks you out for 2 hours and you try again, it wipes itself.

I mean you'd have to be really trying. However, the same program that stored passwords, also re-loaded everything that was on the phone prior to being wiped.

What a weird coincidence that is?

I had to wipe my phone once - it takes lots of steps and an authentication to do it. What are the odds of all those steps happening by accident and on so many phones related to the same group of similar users?

I mean schidt happens - amiright?

Weird........
