ChiGoose Posted July 14, 2022 Posted July 14, 2022 Per The Intercept: THE SECRET SERVICE erased text messages from January 5 and January 6, 2021, according to a letter given to the January 6 committee and reviewed by The Intercept. The letter was originally sent by the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General to the House and Senate homeland security committees. Though the Secret Service maintains that the text messages were lost as a result of a “device-replacement program,” the letter says the erasure took place shortly after oversight officials requested the agency’s electronic communications. ... The Department of Homeland Security — the Secret Service’s parent agency — is subject to oversight from the DHS Office of Inspector General, which had requested records of electronic communications from the Secret Service between January 5 and January 6, 2021, before being informed that they had been erased. It is unclear from the letter whether all of the messages were deleted or just some. Not a great look.
Big Blitz Posted July 14, 2022 Posted July 14, 2022 Dam this is almost as book a look as our Afghanistan withdrawal. Or Hillary's stand down orders in Benghazi. Or their claim Benghazi was the result of a YouTube video. Democrats really wanted to get to the bottom of those debacles that *checks notes* did NOT happen under Trump. We definitely got em now! 1

It seems it shouldn’t happen, but it does, sorta making it less “not a good look”, more an expected look more times than not. Sadly, the texts may well have provided context of the god-awful level of security that day.

Gotcha Expand Ah, so no, Ricky ######o. I have no idea why Chi Goose suggested it was a bad look. Maybe he believes there’s critical evidence about Trump’s behavior that day. Maybe he thinks the texts would provide clarity on the actions of other players. Maybe he thinks the deleted texts represent evidence of criminal activity by the agent(s) who sent them. Maybe he wanted to know if they ordered Chik-Fil-A, or strippers for a buddy’s bachelor party. Or, maybe he thinks everybody every time should not delete texts when advised not to. He didn’t say. That’s why I asked him. I know what I thought, and now you do too, because you asked me what I thought, and I explained it to you. Cool lady wink.

I think it’s a bad look for any government employee phone to have data deleted after an IG asks for it to be preserved. Generally, I would expect that there is a procedure to identify such devices and prevent them from undergoing regular data wipes. As far as I can tell, that leaves three likely potential scenarios: 1. There was no procedure to prevent devices from being wiped after an IG asks them to be preserved. 2. There is a procedure but it failed in this instance for some reason. 3. The data was intentionally deleted to prevent the IG from uncovering facts. I think all of those are a bad look for an agency as serious as the Secret Service. I am not going to do the PPP thing and break out my jump to conclusions mat, but if I had to guess, I think Occam’s and Hanlon’s Razors would make me more inclined to lean towards option 2. In any case, this should be investigated to get to the bottom of it. 1
