When civilians destroy evidence it is obstruction, a felony. But when government criminals do the same it is inadvertent. Ahem!
[From article]
Chaffetz, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said he was able to watch two videos from around the White House, offering limited views of the incident. However, in a closed-door discussion Tuesday, Secret Service Director Joseph Clancy told Chaffetz that it's the regular policy to destroy surveillance tapes from around the White House after 72 hours.
"I don't think anyone in that room could believe it," Chaffetz told CBS. "That's just a stunning revelation that 72 hours after they make a tape they destroy it? That doesn't make any sense to us."
He added, "If it's regular policy to destroy them after 72 hours, why did they have two of the tapes, and where are the rest of the tapes? And so far the Secret Service has not been able to answer the question."
