    Yeah, something rotten was going on in that agency (hopefully, past tense is correct, but I am no so sure). Not sure it was the whole organization, but there was somebody with substantial power that was not to be trusted. Pence knew that.

    I am sure it’s because the texts will be some of the agents cheering it on.
    Of course the ironing here is that the “deep state” is protecting Trump, but not a whisper from the conservatives here. It’s ok when it benefits them.

    But prosecute anyone who didn’t follow the data preservation order. And then set some forensic tech folks to find the data, it isn’t gone unless the wiped the servers. Even then it might be recoverable.

    In any other era, something like this would've sent shockwaves through the nation and would've been an enormous scandal. Under the Trump administration, this was just another Tuesday at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

    Heck. Nowadays even texts change over on a new phone for nobody's like me.

    The Secret Service should look at getting some cool tech or sumptin'.

    That's why he refused to get in the car and leave. They were going to effectively kidnap him and detain him under the name of security.

    A former SOS deleted thousands of emails, many of which probably demonstrated that Obama knew she was running her own server and did nothing. Both equally wrong

    Cults penetrate every corner of society. There's no reason not to believe there were also rotten apples in the SS, just like in the general population, who wanted the fair election overturned......and democracy be damned! Oaths of office don't mean much anymore to a sorry swath of the population.

    This is disturbing and smacks of coverup.

    The head of the secret service needs to be hauled into congress to explain.

    Secret Service deleted J6 text messages after investigators demanded them: DHS inspector general (msn.com)

    "A top Secret Service official allegedly involved in the attempt to spirit away Pence on January 6 remains in a leadership position at the agency. Tony Ornato, a Secret Service agent whom Trump made the unprecedented decision to appoint as his deputy White House Chief of Staff, reportedly informed Pence’s national security advisor, Keith Kellogg, on January 6 that agents would relocate the Vice President to Joint Base Andrews," The Intercept reported. "Today, Ornato serves as Assistant Director at the Secret Service’s Office of Training."
