The Secret Service has no new Jan. 6 texts to give to Congress, source says
NBC 'News' ^ | 7/19/22 | Scott Wong, Peter Nicholas

WASHINGTON - The Secret Service has no new text messages related to the Jan. 6 attack to hand over to the special House committee investigating the Capitol riot, a source familiar with the matter told NBC News on Tuesday.

The news comes in the wake of an inspector general informing the committee that the Secret Service had deleted text messages from Jan. 5 and 6, 2021. The committee issued a subpoena for those records last week.

The Secret Service plans to do a “forensic examination” of agents’ phones identified in the inspector general’s report, the source said, but added that the agency does not expect this will yield relevant emails or other records.

The Washington Post first reported that the Secret Service had no new text messages to turn over to Congress. The Jan. 6 panel had given the Secret Service until Tuesday morning to turn over the text messages it had subpoenaed.

“We received a letter today that did provide us with a lot of documents and some data. However, we did not receive the additional text messages that we were looking for,” Rep. Stephanie Murphy, D-Fla., a member of the Jan. 6 panel, said on MSNBC.

Also on Tuesday, the National Archives asked the Secret Service to investigate the “potential unauthorized deletion” of the text messages.

The National Archives and Records Administration “requests that the Secret Service look into this matter,” an agency official, Laurence Brewer, wrote in a letter to Damian Kokinda, an official overseeing records at the Department of Homeland Security.

At the Aspen Security Forum on Tuesday evening, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas promised that the Secret Service, which is part of his department, would cooperate fully with inquiries from the Jan. 6 committee and others into what happened with the missing text messages.

Don’t worry, they’ll invent some!
Just like Vindmans “notes” that were total fantasy!

Day one when Trump takes office he and Congress need to dismantle Homeland Security, Department of Education, Department of Energy and needs to move most agencies out into fly over country.

Add the word "Subsidies" to the end of all federal Department names. That's basically what their purpose is...

I hope he is getting prepared. He needs to ask for resignation letters for every single appointed position. He needs to have his people ready to go and they need to know which employees need to be transferred to the most God awful places on the planet. If they don’t like it they can quit.

I think, if they ever reach this point where all of these emails/text are revealed...more than half will be about some party for the next weekend, and no one seeming to be worried about the 6th of January business.

Agree bro. General Milley and Admiral Kirby and Lloyd Austin need to be fired in the first 2 minutes.

Now there’s an interesting thought. The texts had to be made unavailable because all they would show is routine traffic.

It’s the dog that didn’t bark.

The messages have been scrubbed. Texts are usually forever somewhere. But (pick the three letter agency) are probably the only people who could fully scrub them.

SS texts:

NP: you still at WH?

SS: yes, he’s still telling the crowd to peacefully assemble.

NP: my ice cream is melting, we can’t wait for him. Send in the clowns.

If they have a video of that, they´d do best to hide it. Essentially they refused to take him where he had asked and in fact were virtually kidnapping him. They refused his orders repeatedly.

This is generally called treason and an attempted (and ultimately successful) coup.
