2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumForward to Clinton Campaign: Trump was accused of destroying email evidence in lawsuit 10 years ago
In 2006, when a judge ordered Donald Trump's casino operation to hand over several years' worth of emails, the answer surprised him: The Trump Organization routinely erased emails and had no records from 1996 to 2001. The defendants in a case that Trump brought said this amounted to destruction of evidence, a charge never resolved.
At that time, a Trump IT director testified that until 2001, executives in Trump Tower relied on personal email accounts using dial-up Internet services, despite the fact that Trump had launched a high-speed Internet provider in 1998 and announced he would wire his whole building with it. Another said Trump had no routine process for preserving emails before 2005.
Judge Jeffrey Streitfeld was stunned. He has a house up in Palm Beach County listed for $125 million, but he doesnt keep emails. Thats a tough one, he said, according to transcripts obtained by USA TODAY. If somebody starts to put forth as a fact something that doesnt make any sense to me and causes me to have a concern about their credibility in the discovery process, that's not a good direction to go, and I am really having a hard time with this.

(9,124 posts)1. This report is from June and we never hear about it from the media or the Democrats, but
all we hear is about Hillary Clinton's emails from Donald Trump and the Deplorables.
More and more is coming out as journalists are finally vetting the Republican nominee.
It's almost over for Donald Trump.
