Some Secret Service members must've been so complicit...

[brush]

in the J6 insurrection that they chose to delete their text messages for that day and suffer the consequences instead of turning them over to Congress.

Those messages must've been really incriminating.

[Funtatlaguy]

1. DNC should hire the very best tech minds to capture those deleted texts & emails.

[brush]

2. Yes, as they've suffered no consequences and we don't know...

who to trust in the Secret Service, or what they were planning.

[GoldandSilver]

8. Trust no one

Thanks to an Oath Keepers mentality, it’s pretty difficult to trust anyone. The Secret Service, the military, the local police, the FBI, the Border Patrol, etc. I wouldn’t bet my life on any o& them. It’s like an infestation of cock roaches or maybe termites. They hide out and do lots of damage before you know it.

12. I have no doubt some members of the Secret Service

were Trump fans...remember one of their own, Tony Ornato, was wearing two hats..first as head of Trump's personal Secret Service detail and then White House Assistant Chief of Staff..

[Tanuki]

15. During the transition, then-POTUS- elect Biden was sufficiently concerned

that he replaced his assigned Secret Service detail with holdovers from the Obama era whom he personally knew and trusted.

18. Yes that is very telling about his lack of trust with parts of the SS.

[question everything]

22. Even Pence did not trust the vehicle that came to "rescue

him

[Duppers]

16. Exactly!

[Tetrachloride]

3. the investigators know every barista by name.

who could sleep knowing what they know

[brush]

4. What do you mean?

[Tetrachloride]

9. they drink gallons of coffee a day in the never ending research

[RockRaven]

5. Yep. Though perhaps they should be called *potential* consequences since none have

actually suffered them yet, and it's been nearly two years. And the POTUS election two years hence has a disturbingly high likelihood of making the potentiality of those consequences moot. They haven't exactly been proven to have gambled poorly yet, and the window is closing.

But yeah, it says a lot about their Jan 6 and prior actions that they would do that to cover it up.

[brush]

7. Right, no consequences yet. And that makes me nervous...

as they're responsible for Joe Biden's safety. Which agents can be trusted?

[walkingman]

6. I have a question - Has anyone ever said why troops did not surround the insurrectionists and arrest

everyone? They simply were able to just walk away?

Maybe I missed something?

[question everything]

10. Which troops? Pelosi asked VA Northam for help but, apparently had no jurisdiction

in D.C. The Metropolitan Police was no match. Only when Pence asked for the National Guard did things improved.

[walkingman]

20. That needs to change - no reason to have to jump through hoops in times like that.

[dchill]

11. "Those messages must've been really incriminating..."

I think that's a completely safe assumption. There's no other reason to break one set of laws to cover for another having already been broken.

[Meadowoak]

13. I believe the J6 committee has those texts, I read somewhere that

They recovered 8000 of the missing/deleted SS texts.

[markodochartaigh]

14. Secret service agents compromised

Did they ever get to the bottom of the secret service agents bribed by the foreign agents in New York?

[Irish_Dem]

19. All quietly swept under the rug. Like all the other SS embarrassments.

[brush]

23. Whoa. Thanks for that link. I hadn't heard about that.

Sure makes you think some house cleaning is in order at the Secret Service. They're too close to the president, and his wife of course, for their to be doubt as to which agents can be trusted to protect him/her.

[gab13by13]

17. Tony Ornato retired

the day before he was supposed to testify to the J6 committee. Because he retired the J6 committee couldn't force him to appear.

[spanone]

24. He can't be subpoenaed? WTF?

[Arazi]

21. Major Biden knew

Always listen to the dog
