    This is a really in-depth article... http://www.newsweek.com/2016/11/…

    Some excerpts:

    DONALD TRUMP’S COMPANIES DESTROYED EMAILS IN DEFIANCE OF COURT ORDERS

    Trump's use of deception and untruthful affidavits, as well as the hiding or improper destruction of documents, dates back to at least 1973, when the Republican nominee, his father and their real estate company battled the federal government over civil charges that they refused to rent apartments to African-Americans. The Trump strategy was simple: deny, impede and delay, while destroying documents the court had ordered them to hand over.

    .....

    Finally, under subpoena, Trump appeared for a short deposition. When asked about the missing documents, he made a shocking admission: The Trumps had been destroying their corporate records for the previous six months and had no document-retention program. They had conducted no inspections to determine which files might have been sought in the discovery requests or might otherwise be related to the case. Instead, in order to “save space,” Trump testified, officials with his company had been tossing documents into the shredder and garbage.

    • Trump refused to rent apartments to “welfare recipients”, not blacks.

    • Cases that resulted in legal resolutions. Not dismissed with acknowledged evidence of crimes, including destruction of subpoenaed documents.IRNlun6
    • Interesting how these cases are brought up though. Like a comparison between the two candidates. Subtly implying that Trump did the same thing.IRNlun6
    • Although it's also admitting awareness of Hillary's crimes.IRNlun6
