  1. Let’s do the FBI DOJ and all the criminals in this administration, they are all in bed together, and the media as well.

  2. It’s almost like there’s one person who destroys everything and everyone he’s ever been involved with.

  3. If they did what they know they should, they would have saved copies of all those very important messages. If they didn’t know those messages were important enough to save then they may not be competent enough to be in their positions.

  4. It’s always time to question and look into the actions of the secret services of our country.

  5. Oh come on guy IT (or WHOMEVER is responsible for implementing a particular software update or equipment upgrade) has to make certain that someone is NOT in the middle of using the computer or device. Moreover, back-ups of data must be done BEFORE any changes are implemented as one should do before handing their personal equipment over to someone for any alterations or changes or risk potential corruption or loss of data. In addition to that, the department head MUST collaborate with them. The right hand may not know EXACTLY what the left hand is doing, but they absolutely must coordinate.

  6. They will protect their own or minimally hide the worst and protect the most agents they can. We can no longer trust the SS… he's already seeking out the official explanation.

  7. He was being very protective of the SS, which is being very protective of trump.

  8. This will be great since all of the domestic terrorist administration will be subject to the same investigation well ya know it is what it is

  9. I don’t understand why they are playing games about the text messages being deleted. Everyone knows damn well that they can be retrieved, they just don’t want too and they are doing all this for show like pretending they will do something about it.

  10. The former administration knew things would get “real bad.” They threw the undermanned Capitol police to the wolves. Pence stated he wouldn’t cave to presidential pressure. Was he sent over to the Capitol, with a minimal security detail, in the hope that he’d be eliminate? Biden’s dog had keen insight into the Secret Service! They are about as transparent as a brick!

  11. If they were using iphones and iMessaging, to the carrier, these are just data blips, iMessaging is not stored by them. SMS is a carrier system so those may be archived but these are usually handled by a 3rd party provider and many dump these in short order

  12. Love how they’re giving millions of texts and email but not the information they’re asking for. Begin the purge already.

  13. This is an obvious attempt at a cover-up. The only question is how high does the reason go. Judging by the lawyering up of Engel/Ornato and the SS closing ranks, it's clearly of malicious intent. Funny how texts miraculously appear after a criminal investigation is launched. Coincidence?……NO WAY!

  14. They are NOT COMPLYING with the law, why SHOULD WE the People!

  15. He invited

    He incited

    They rioted

    Then he denied it

    Even though he'd implied it

    Now he must be indicted.

  16. Keep the investigation going, crime of the century. It keeps uncovering more and more co- conspirators .

  17. this guy is bullshitting

  18. What about Clinton's?

  19. Secret Service is not above the law

  20. I've done data Transfer… 10 years ago there was no way this would happen… let alone today.
