That's certainly interesting

I wonder if this photo has something to do with the routine destruction of old documents that have been maintained for the minimum period of time required by law. Possibly. Possibly not.

  1. No, nonono... no, see, the, uh... the, er, driver just stopped briefly to, ah... to use the restroom, is all.

    Yeah, that's it! That's the ticket!

  2. Totally unrelated...
    Remember that scene in Patton where the German military folks are burning all the papers as the Allies approach?
    This is totally different I'm sure.

  3. Of course it's different, V. This time it's the allies shredding all the papers as the Nazis approach.

  4. I guess I’m less concerned about this than most, because we used shred trucks at the university for old files that had been digitized, and when I was a typist for the spooks in Munich, we used burn bags. I figure shred trucks are pretty routine in government offices, but given how THIS government has behaved it’s not unreasonable to speculate that they might be frantically getting rid of incriminating material.

    1. Yeah, the agency I worked at had big plastic pad-locked bins you could throw documents in; however, much of our stuff, we had to maintain for, I believe, around five years. The photo may be entirely innocuous, in reality; but it's interesting as a metaphor.

    2. I'm not giving them the benefit of the doubt.
      Fire them all, replace them with Judicial Watch folks.
      Then they get the benefit of the doubt.
