wants and nothing else, and employees are hired by donald trump in the hope and believe that he is hiring and finding the kinds of employees who will do whatever the boss wants, no matter what, whether it is legal or illegal. this was trump employee 4 s moment. he could make the conspiracy work. he could prevent the fbi from ever knowing the truth about the way the boxes were moved to prevent materials from being handed over to the fbi, subject to a federal subpoena. trump employee 4 could commit a crime for the boss or do the right thing. de oliveira told trump employee 4 that the boss wanted the server deleted. trump employee 4 responded that he would not know how to do that, and that he did not believe that he would have the rights to do that.
