The United States Secret Service deleting text messages from January 5th and 6th isn't the most credible look.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/07/19/secret-service-texts/
Quote : | "Many of its agents' cellphone texts were permanently purged starting in mid-January 2021 and Secret Service officials said it was the result of an agency-wide reset of staff telephones and replacement that it began planning months earlier. Secret Service agents, many of whom protect the president, vice president and other senior government leaders, were instructed to upload any old text messages involving government business to an internal agency drive before the reset, the senior official said, but many agents appear not to have done so.
The result is that potentially valuable evidence — the real-time communications and reactions of agents who interacted directly with Trump or helped coordinate his plans before and during Jan. 6 — is unlikely to ever be recovered, two people familiar with the Secret Service communications system said." |
Quote : | "The Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General upended the committee's investigation last week, claiming the Secret Service had erased texts from around Jan. 5 and 6 after his office had requested them as part of his own investigation.
DHS Inspector General Joseph Cuffari, a Trump appointee, briefed members of the House select committee on Friday after sending a letter to lawmakers last week, informing them that the text messages were missing. He also said DHS officials were delaying turning over information he requested, which Homeland Security officials have denied.
Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi has said that the agency did not maliciously delete text messages and that the Secret Service had lost some data because of a previously planned agency-wide replacement of staff telephones. The replacement began a month before the Office of Inspector General made his request, he said last week.
Guglielmi acknowledged that some data on the phones had been lost in the changeover but emphasized that 'none of the texts' the OIG was seeking were missing." |

Oh geez, got that wrong big time. How the fuck did they only manage to find ONE text exchange that took place between 1/5-1/6? Wait, I already know the answer to this one and just one word will suffice: complicitous. Negligence and incompetence, like many are suggesting, doesn't even come close. They fucking knew what was happening all along. How is this not drawing more ire and outrage?
In hindsight, I guess it was easy to predict how bad things would get-- I'm just not seeing any way to predict how things can actually get better.7/20/2022 4:26:45 PM |

Seems like we could have avoided a 1.5 years of the GOP calling Jan 6 “a protest” or “legitimate political discourse” if we had been armed with more evidence like this.

Washington Post now reporting that the DHS IG put together a report in October 2021 detailing the secret services stonewalling and refusal to turn over data and that by February 2022 the texts had been erased. So it seems like the reason we didn’t have this info is there are layers on layers of coverup extending all throughout the executive branch. 7/21/2022 5:22:32 AM |

The DHS IG is refusing to step aside in the investigation of the secret service texts, so it looks like the deep state is going to run interference to the very end.
Never forget the civil libertarians, the (actual) small government conservatives, and a multitude of progressives/leftists that warned us Bush’s creation of a new agency (and expansion of federal law enforcement therein) would lead to trouble for this country. Now we have a 200k person agency full of meathead MAGA acolytes trying to destroy US democracy. And seriously, it extends beyond Jan 6th and the secret service. Just look at how out of control CBP or ICE is. The entire department should be put on desk duty until we see how widespread the rot is. 8/16/2022 7:26:46 PM |

Defendants Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl, Enrique Tarrio and Dominic Pezzola face a range of charges, including three separate conspiracy charges, obstructing the Electoral College vote and tampering with evidence.?
The verdict marks the third time that prosecutors have secured convictions for seditious conspiracy in the Justice Department’s historic prosecution of those who breached the Capitol that day." |
