From Ted McLaughlin at jobsanger:
Donald Trump has to be the king of all hypocrites. He has incessantly accused Hillary Clinton of destroying e-mails, and suggested that she broke the law by doing that and is unqualified to be president because of it.
But what he won’t tell you is that he has a long history (since at least 1973) of destroying e-mails requested by courts and legal opponents. Here is some of what Newsweek has found:
Over the course of decades, Donald Trump’s companies have systematically destroyed or hidden thousands of emails, digital records and paper documents demanded in official proceedings, often in defiance of court orders. These tactics—exposed by a Newsweek review of thousands of pages of court filings, judicial orders and affidavits from an array of court cases—have enraged judges, prosecutors, opposing lawyers and the many ordinary citizens entangled in litigation with Trump. In each instance, Trump and entities he controlled also erected numerous hurdles that made lawsuits drag on for years, forcing courtroom opponents to spend huge sums of money in legal fees as they struggled—sometimes in vain—to obtain records.
