*It's still unclear if the messages were deleted intentionally or by accident.*
The Secret Service deleted text messages from Jan. 5 and 6, 2021, after an internal watchdog requested them as part of a review of the department’s handling of last year’s Capitol riot, the watchdog said this week.
A letter sent Wednesday by the Department of Homeland Security Inspector General to the heads of the House and Senate Homeland Security Committees, which was obtained by ABC News, said the messages were deleted “as part of a device-replacement program” despite the inspector general requesting such communications.
"First, the Department notified us that many US Secret Service text messages from January 5 and 6, 2021, were erased as part of a device-replacement program. The USSS erased those text messages after OIG requested records of electronic communications from the USSS, as part of our evaluation of events at the Capitol on January 6," Joseph Cuffari, the inspector general, wrote.
"Second, DHS personnel have repeatedly told OIG inspectors that they were not permitted to provide records directly to OIG and that such records had to first undergo review by DHS attorneys," Cuffari wrote. "This review led to weeks-long delays in OIG obtaining records and created confusion over whether all records had been produced."

Why did Kamala and SS protection leave the Capitol on J6, and go to the DNC building where there was allegedly a pipe bomb?
Texts could be interesting.

BULLSHIT
That was done intentionally and with malice. There is no way that anything was deleted by “accident”.

Time to reform those two organizations. Reorganize them and reduce their power. Lots need to be let go or charged with crimes against the state.
The cellular provider has them ...

If they were thoroughly deleted, backups too, that was no accident.

How many times have government officials done this? A lot. And they get away with it every time. What a scam.
