USAID Official Orders All Remaining Employees to Shed All Remaining Documents

In which case she would not have authority to order the destruction on her own.

An odd way to concede the points made, but... accepted.

Not conceding anything...

The original question from my very earliest posts still remains.

Which makes the question: "Did she send the email and order it on her own or did she do it as the direction of her superiors?".

The FBI needs to investigate this.

I agree 100%

When people mishandle classified documents they should be prosecuted and punished to the maximum extent of the law.

OK then - you ran away from points you could not address.
Good enough for me.

I haven't run away from anything (which is different than not admitting I was wrong which I'm willing to do).

By original point going back to the beginning of the thread remains:

USAID Official Orders All Remaining Employees to Shed All Remaining Documents​

11 Mar 2025 ~~ Ace of Spades HQ

Politico:

A senior official at USAID instructed the agency's remaining staff to convene at the agency's now-former headquarters in Washington on Tuesday for an "all day" group effort to destroy documents stored there, many of which contain sensitive information.​

The materials earmarked for destruction include contents of the agency's "classified safes and personnel documents" at the Ronald Reagan Building, said an email sent by USAID's acting executive director, Erica Carr, and obtained by POLITICO.
"Shred as many documents first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break," the email said. Carr instructed staff to label the burn bags with the words "SECRET" and "USAID/B/IO/" (agency shorthand for "bureau or independent office") in dark Sharpie.
The email didn't provide any reason for the document destruction.
Unbelievable.
But wait -- the Highly Suspicious Shredding Party is Trump's fault, Politico has decided.

The effort also underscores the tumultuous way in which the Trump administration is dismantling an agency that once managed a $40 billion annual budget and had more than 10,000 staff around the world.​

Trump made them destroy evidence of their lawbreaking!


Commentary:
Hmmm...., Burn bags? Aren't they used at the CIA, DNI and embassies? Why would a Federa; agency located in Washington D.C. require "Burn Bags"
Even the State Dept just uses shredders.
Would the DoJ consider this as an act of obstruction and destruction of Government property, destruction of evidence?.
Destroying government documents is a felony. Arrest all that committed the crime and charge them hard.
Obviously, the effort also underscores the tumultuous way in which the Trump administration is dismantling an agency that once managed a $40 billion p;os annual budget and had more than 10,000 staff around the world.
Nothing says GUILTY like shredding fucking documents...
Seems Neo- Marxist Democrat had apoplectic fits over a general taking his binder home as just some sort of beyond the pale irresponsible treatment of government documents.

Who is the official that sent the email?

Trump is President, Rubio is Secretary of State.

She's still in her position.

Therefore Trump and Rubio decided to let her stay as lead in an organization that has drawn much attention and was being shut down.

They allowed her to keep her leadship role instead of replacing her.

Logic doesn't need a cite/copy/paste - something it just takes thinking.

Indeed, at least for the present. Her decision to order the destruction of records has shown she is partisan and bent toward Neo-Marxist Democrats in opposition to the administration. Her move has ensured her demise as acting director.
Before the month is out she will be replaced...

I think she should be fired for cause with no pension and maybe facing criminal charges

Good Question... Obviously the order didn't come from Trump, or Rubio, nor Musk. Could have bben and order from Samantha Power, or Barry Soetoro?

That should be -painfully- obvious.

Never mind the fact that it does not matter who orders you to commit a (probably, possibly) criminal act, you are under no obligation to do so.
