Top GOP senators have issued a stern warning to Attorney General Merrick Garland, FBI Director Christopher Wray, and Special Counsel Jack Smith, demanding the preservation of all records related to investigations into former President Donald Trump. The call, outlined in a detailed letter, raises concerns about potential mishandling of federal records and political bias within the Justice Department.
The letter discusses past instances where federal records tied to politically charged investigations were allegedly destroyed or mishandled. Citing examples from the Mueller investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, the senators pointed to incidents where members of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team reportedly wiped data from government-issued phones. Among the claims, one senior team member is accused of deleting data multiple times, purportedly by entering incorrect passwords. The senators argue these actions raise serious questions about whether the deletions were part of an intentional effort to obscure investigative decisions from congressional and agency oversight.
“The proximity in time to the DOJ Inspector General’s investigation, along with the frequency of data deletions, suggests a troubling pattern,” the letter states. The lawmakers also referenced concerns about record destruction during the FBI’s investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s handling of classified information. According to the senators, the FBI agreed to destroy laptops associated with Clinton’s staff, a decision they argue compromised the integrity of potential evidence.

The letter alleges that Timothy Thibault, a former senior FBI official involved in one of Smith’s cases, displayed anti-Trump bias and violated the Hatch Act, which restricts federal employees from engaging in partisan political activity.
The senators contend that preserving all records related to Smith’s investigations is crucial to ensuring transparency and accountability. “If a politically charged case is to be opened, it must be done the right way and free from political bias,” they wrote. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
