Former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson said in an interview with The New York Times and in her upcoming memoir that, during the last days of Trump’s presidency, chief of staff Mark Meadows burned so many documents in his fireplace that his wife privately complained to Hutchinson about the dry-cleaning bills to get rid of the smoke smell from Meadows’ clothing. Hutchinson said that Meadows and others refused to take out daily trash for fear of the “deep state” finding any discarded documents.

What crazy shit were they covering up while blatantly breaking laws in public on the daily?

It starts with "F" and ends with "eeding national secrets to Russia."

The public law-breaking may have been a distraction. Overwhelm the enemy with so much shit they will never be able to keep track of it all. Kind of reminds me of some tactics I've seen before but I can't place where exactly.
