FBI agent plead guilty to destroying evidence that could have proven Woods’ innocence.
A former FBI agent has admitted to destroying evidence connected to the 2018 corruption trial of a pro-Trump former Arkansas state senator.
Robert Cessario pleaded guilty to a charge of “corrupt destruction of record in an official proceeding” on Wednesday, according to KATV-TV.
Cessario accepted a plea bargain with prosecutors in doing so.
The former agent admitted to deleting files requested by a federal court for analysis in the trial of Arkansas state Sen. Jon Woods.
“I erased the contents of the computer hard [drive] knowing that the court [had] ordered that the computer be submitted for a forensic examination,” Cessario stated as part of the plea deal.
“I did so with the intention of making the contents of the computer’s hard unavailable for forensic examination. At the time, I knew that the contents of the hard drive were relevant to an official proceeding.”
“I corruptly performed and had performed, the erasures with intent to impair the integrity and availability of the computer hard drive and its contents for use in that official proceeding.”
Woods was convicted of wire fraud for accepting kickbacks from Ecclesia College in return for sending state funds to the school. He’s serving an 18-year prison sentence, according to the Arkansas Times.
Woods was the first lawmaker in the state to endorse Donald Trump for president. He continues to contest his conviction, in part pointing to Cessario’s destruction of evidence.
The computer contained audio files of conversations between Woods and another Arkansas legislator, state Rep. Micah Neal, The Blaze reported.
A total of 119 recordings on the computer were sought by the court. Cessario provided 39 of them, arranging for the remaining files to be wiped at a computer shop.
Woods’ lawyers have alleged other improprieties involving Cessario in their client’s prosecution.
In typical FBI fashion, the evidence is skewed to support the Dem party agenda.
The agency works for the Biden regime. Along with the DOJ, every major government department has been weaponized to target political opponents. They are now the praetorian guard of the DNC. And they have no ethics, morals, or intention of enforcing equal application of the law.
