Omnia Praesumuntur Contra Spoliatorem

The Latin phrase in the headline is an actual historic Roman quote, not a modern phrase translated to Latin to sound serious. It means "A destroyer of evidence will be suspected of everything".

Unsubstantiated but worrying rumors from within the White House give us reason to remind the Trump administration of this saying. Also, willfully tampering with evidence in a federal investigation is a crime in itself which carries a penalty of up to 20 years in prison.
