Her story is obvious BS. The "intell" was in NSA servers, etc. Destroying it would have been beyond Trump's team's capability and would have been criminal.
The true objective was to give as many Obama imbeds and democrat political hitmen access to it as possible to facilitate leaking. Anyone who knows anything about how Washington works understood that. That's what she meant by getting it to "the Hill", ie Capitol Hill. The intell committees already had access to it, so we was talking about wider distribution.
Of course this is exactly what you want to believe, because it speaks to your heart (bias)
