Donald Trump Jr. responded to new records released by the Department of Justice indicating that cell phones of multiple people on then-Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigative team were “accidentally wiped” during their Russia probe investigation.
The records show at least several dozen phones were wiped of information because of forgotten passcodes, irreparable screen damage, loss of the device, intentional deletion or other reasons — and came before the DOJ’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) could review the devices, Fox News reported.
The documents were released in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch and reveal that Mueller’s pit-bull Andrew Weissman, “accidentally wiped” his phone twice after entering the wrong passcode too many times in March 2018. Lawyer James Quarles’ phone “wiped itself” without his intervention, the records say.
In response, Trump Jr. blasted out a series of tweets, where he called out the suspicious acts by Mueller’s team.
“Wow, seems like one hell of a coincidence,” Don Jr. tweeted in reaction to the news on Friday. “I wonder why they all did that? Sounds like collusion and obstruction of justice.”

With the revelation still on his mind, Don Jr. woke up early Saturday and tweeted, “When two dozen phones belonging to Robert Mueller’s crooked henchmen magically all get erased how is anyone supposed to have any faith in our justice system?”
“Imagine how long all the witnesses they railroaded would be in jail for if they had done that “by accident?” he added.

Moments later, he capped things off when he said, “Yea. ‘Accidentally’ 2 dozen all accidentally. Of course these crooks will face no consequences. These people in theses failed corrupt institutions will protect themselves. They’re worse than the mafia.”
