Secret Service Erased Texts From Jan. 6, Homeland Security Inspector General Says



The Homeland Security inspector general said that the Secret Service erased many agent text messages from January 6th and from the day before, as part of a program to upgrade cell phones. The inspector general sent a letter to Congress saying the messages were erased after his office asked for records of electronic communications. Officials and agents say Secret Service policy forbids communicating by government text, therefore, there won’t be much to find anyway. However, with the records gone, that will be difficult to confirm. » Subscribe to NBC News: http://nbcnews.to/SubscribeToNBC

  1. Now I thinking how JFK assassination got covered up. I so disappointed in the Service because I've met 2 at my House in South Holland, Illinois years ago.

  2. If Hillary Clinton was allowed to delete 30,000 emails and destroy cell phones after being subpeanad.

  3. JAIL 'STUPID' 2022

    Americans say Jan 6 is the 'Big Lie'. The World says Jan 6 is 'Gullible Americans'

    'Stupid' is already FUNDRAISING off his DEAD WIFE Ivana

  4. I heard this almost two years ago, and that Biden had replaced the s.s.detail with new members because of loyalty issues .

  5. It is Disgusting that our National Secret Service is Playing Politics to Protect a Mob Boss who incited the Jan 6th Insurrection.. Putin doesn't even have this kind of Protection in Place for his Shameful Actions… I say Disengage our Current Secret Service.. Fire the Leadership as a Disservice to American Democracy… Are these the same Secret Service who went with Trump to the Helsinki summit with Putin… I guess soo…..

  6. Put these secret service criminals in prison along with Donald Trump. Agents that delegated this travicty should be removed from positions immediately before being put in trial for this plan to cover up Trump's tracks to over throw the capital.

  7. It requires a level 5 clearance & that’s above your committee’s pay grade. It’s not politically motivated & a job civilians can’t qualify for nor have the need to understand. I’m pretty sure DHS has a copy 😂

  8. Business document retention guidelines typically require ordinary businesses to store records for one, three or seven years for auditing purpose; business usually go for seven years because of the IRS. It sounds like a Secret Service cover-up.

  9. Isn't that a long time to have text messages on your phone?

  10. Hhhhhmmm. 🤔. If Trump runs for 2024 presidency, I AM VOTING FOR Donald J Trump 😁👍🏽. And this is coming from me, a Black Democrat 😅.

  11. OMG how far does this rabbit hole go!!! This reminds me🤔 when someone told the secret service to stand down and stop walking next to JFK car in Dallas TX 🤫🤫Shush!! Don't tell nobody!! Nothing is erased in the digital world!!. "Pelican Brief Part 2"

  12. some one is paying them to commit treason. follow the money.

  13. The Secret Service trying to hide possible evidence of wrong doing?? No freakin way!!

  14. They are with all the video footage of the Capitol corridors being deep faked for the narrative. When ready we will hear of the magical reappearance of the evidence.

  15. 📍📍📍📍📜📍GARLAND NEEDS TO KEEP UP WITH EVERYTHING AND EVERYTHING AND SHOW NO MERCY TO NOBODY AND STAND WITH THE TRUTH 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩⚖️📜💥🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🕵🏽🗃️🗃️🗃️🗃️🗃️🗃️🗃️🗃️🗃️🗃️🗃️📕📝they all guilty and under oath the truth will come out and they can not run from it as all the organizations of the Trump tree and CEOs…

  16. Gullible. Can i sell you a bridge, kinda old.

  17. Secret Service is an organization not prepared for high tech devices or have any understanding of spying or using complex thingies. Naturally they didn't realize just how important January 5th and 6th is. They didn't have DIRECT access to TRUMP at the time. they were sleeping in the Oval office all that time. Why would anyone ever think that a committee would want to know about the insurrection that surely the Secret Service knew. Impossible not to. Hutchinson PROVED that fact.

  18. Think about this for a second. Secret Service has a history of deleting, lying and taking the rule of law into their own hands. They also knew exactly what happened on January 5th and 6th since THEY were the ONLY ones with DIRECT contact with TRUMP thru this WHOLE PERIOD! Lastly it is absurd to think that the agency with the most tech savvy individuals would mistakenly wipe out those critical days. They knew with certainty this was a coup attempt. just how stupid are we?

  19. Someone needs to get fired or many do!

  20. Erased the part about federal agents embedded in the gathering encouraging riots and violence.

  21. How about Ray Epps?🤔

  22. Cancel National Guard, wave protesters in, ignore Ray Epps, suicide 4 Capitol Police officers, hold suspects without bail, limit release of video, wipe text messages. Yet people still buy this sham.

  23. Even NBC did a short story about how only 6 percent of the public care about the bs committee. When will you learn that nothing will save the democrats except California. Even then I think they won't win in a landslide

  24. charge them with obstruction of justice among other crimes and lock those traitors up.

  25. But Comey told us that you can’t be arrested for deleting messages.

  26. Capital Riot? You mean, Capital…mostly peaceful protest?

  27. Isn’t that destruction of evidence? Isn’t that a crime?

  28. They better subpoena Stacey Abrams, she also said the 2020 elections were dirty. And we have the video. And the evidence. And it's obvious if you're not stupid and ignorant. And…

  29. So much attention on a non-crime. When are the hearings about the leftist militias that have been raping, pillaging and murdering across our country for the last two years?

  30. Good I don't give a single crap about the democrats dog and pony show…Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi are both guilty of money laundering in the Ukraine.

  31. Yall love eating 💩 huh?

  32. Subpoena the Secret Service members private phones, then watch what happens.

  33. Democrats run the secret service. So what are they hiding

  34. Just put out the gossip before you find out the facts. You are fake news for sure!

  35. Qanon fooled Trump supporters into believing Democrats would be arrested for their crimes, now Democrats are being told Trump and his supporters will be arrested for their crimes 🙄 sound familiar? Anyone? HELLO HELLO HELLO

  36. They are smart like Hillary Clinton eh?

  37. Hopefully whoever approved erasing all of these messages will be fired and charged with criminal charges.

  38. Obama wiretapped the whole nation and pedo Peter sold our oil to China. Also plays with little kids and like his leg hair petted

  39. Jan 6th was indeed an inside job…. only it wasn't Trump or his supporters, it was Democrats!!

  40. They aren't called the secret service for nothing…..they keep secrets

  41. The decision to erase texts was made before any requests and it is routinely done.

  42. Trump2024🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
