  1. God bless the January 6th committee and God bless America 🇺🇸.

  2. How does the English upper n middle class, decide that they going to rule the world, after WW2 without getting caught ? These narcissistic globalist animals, thrive on pure greed ! If it was not for Trump, we would be none the wiser !! I believe that all Banks and corporations owned by the greedy swines, must be taken away from them, and given back to the people of the US.

  3. Bitcoin is the greatest investment ever I was so ambitious in getting btc but due to income I was not able to gain much I was introduced to the cyber hackers who multiplied my btc it was like a dream but definitely came true so unbelievable until I got my profit in my wallet am happy am blessed if you interested in this platform you can contact Mr Williams  on my channel.

  4. The incompetent decisions not to protect 1/05 & 1/06 Secret Service texts because they were deleted (and not backed up) “as part of a device-replacement program” should be blamed on the ghost of Rose Mary Woods, the secretary President Nixon, remembered for erasing 18.5-minute gap in one of the Watergate tapes.

    There's a famous photo of her trying to demonstrate how she could have accidentally erased it — it's known as the "Rose Mary Stretch."

    So now we have the Secret Service version of the "Rose Mary Stretch” as their excuse why these texts are not available to the Inspector General or the January 6th Committee.

  5. Funny that the secret service said they provided thousands of texts leading up to Jan 5th and 6th and somehow started "changing" their phones on Jan 5th. Why would the SS suddenly pick THAT day? Strange I can't find any fox coverage of the story here. Why is that? The SS don't use cloud or a secured service for back up? Are you fucking joking?

  6. Multiple Pulitzer Prize winner for Investigative Journalism (2014, 2015, 2018), Carol Leonnig, said that members of Donald Trump's Secret Service detail cheered on the insurrection of January 6, 2021. "There was a very large contingent of Donald Trump's detail who were personally cheering for [Joe] Biden to fail," she said. "Some of them took to their personal media accounts to cheer on the insurrection and the individuals rioting up to the Capitol, as patriots. Leonnig said that it was "problematic" that some of Trump's detail appeared to support the rioters on January 6. These claims were made when she spoke to MSNBC's Rachel Maddow following testimony from Cassidy Hutchinson in the Tuesday Jan. 6 Committee hearing. So, if the comms between agents was deliberately deleted the data should be accessible on the servers they used – even if they are not accessible on the individual phones.

  7. How are you all i hope you are all well I am in great danger. My elder brother is in a very bad condition. She needs 5000$ to save him now. Please help by doing something. With your help I can get back to my older brother. My family is very poor. He helps if there is anything that can be done. payoneer account

    And please share it with everyone.

  8. The Secret Service has turned into Trump Taliban Royal Security Force. They rape and beat their female opponents and send the remains as dog dodo in a small brown bag to the parents.

  9. Destroying evidence is illegal under both federal and state law. The secret service agents who deleted their text messages should be charged and convicted of evidence tampering.

  10. Silly me thinking that the US Secret Service had one of the very best cyber security divisions on Earth. You know the one that advertises the work they do on recovering and preserving evidence that was erased from mobile devices. What was I thinking? They are just another bunch of KKK Keystone Kops. If the US Secret Service has been penetrated by radical far right influences, America is already in a Fascist state with its own operating Nazi SS.

  11. Whenever US Secret Service officials label a secret activity with terms such as "Device Replacement" or “Operational Preparation of the Environment (OPE),” it is deliberately misleading and designed to prevent lawmakers from overseeing their clandestine work. It uses labels to cut lawmakers out of the loop on operations. Labels are used to disguise activities as non-intelligence or administrative functions to keep lawmakers from overseeing secret work.

  12. "Secret Service accused of deleting Jan. 6 text messages" so let's #ConvinceItForward

  13. Trump is a cancer on our Constitution, our democracy, our flag, our 330+ million people—even those who have been too duped to realize it.

  14. No wonder the GOP uses Dems like a mattress at the Chicken Ranch.
    Joe Biden should have immediately placed the Scrt.Serv director on Admin. leave and called him out for dereliction of duty, lack of judgment and incompetence.
    Even assuming innocence (I don’t), NO ONE would ignore the historical importance of ALL communications on Jan 5th&6th!
    Biden sleeps as bullies slap him & take his lunch money every day!
    The ScrttServDir retires for a cush job July 30th. Snapchat should be deluged with calls to cancel that arrangement.

  15. And I’m accusing Joe Biden and this administration of dereliction of duties and treason.

  16. AOC admits Capital cops were in on the whole deal😂🤣😅👏😭👏🇺🇸

  17. Sppe yaR read it backwards the committee is terrified of his testimony but we he will be on the hot seat after November Pelosi also

  18. Glenn Kirschner, former DC prosecutor, explains how good the Secret Service’s forensic recovery of data on computers and cell phones is.
    “Federal prosecutors in DC routinely use the Secret Service Forensic Sciences Division to perform forensic searches of computers and cell phones, including when prosecutors seek to retrieve information deleted from computers and cell phones.”

  19. "The secret service even has an internal memo on how to avoid oversight.
    Whoever is the journalist on this should be getting a hold of that memo
    which is available on the internet. This memo on how to avoid oversight
    by the IG and any sort of accountability cuts across all the different
    divisions of law enforcement in the federal government. Whoever wrote
    the memo should be fired or maybe brought up on charges. They're
    actually trained in how to avoid this stuff."

  20. Those texts are not gone. They're still on a server somewhere and they will be found.

  21. Tell secret service stop putting out statements. An say dat under oath

  22. These people will stop a nothing to push their phony narratives. Just ask the border patrol agents they accused of whipping migrants with zero evidence whatsoever.

  23. He invited

    He incited

    They rioted

    He then denied it

    Even though he implied it

    Now he must be indicted.

  24. Time to start throwing dirty agents and politicians in jail or next 1 will result in genocide

  25. abc raped my donkey, now they are accused, justice for tony the donkey

  26. What else does the Secret Service delete from time to time?

  27. New Trump cult crimes revealed every day. Sounds like many within the SS fell for the big lie.

  28. Secret service scared of trump trying to protect him?

  29. Definitely, the fools run out of new bs because they keep talking about the same bs!

  30. Boy oh boy when the dems cant get what they want they blame everone but there selves, Just like joe blameing the gas station owners for high fuel prices and inflation

  31. The entire government is corrupt

  32. Wait a damn minute, they recover deleted text all the time in criminal cases. Why don't they do that? I wouldn't rely on them submitting all text messages anyways.

  33. OBVIOUSLY THEY'RE LYING SO THEY WON'T GET IN TROUBLE

    HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE

  34. ABC any updates on 10% for the big guy?
