Democrats press for Secret Service records, hint at subpoena

WASHINGTON (AP) — Top congressional Democrats are demanding that the Department of Homeland Security’s inspector general hand over information on deleted Secret Service text messages related to the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol, accusing him of using delay tactics to stonewall their investigation.

In a letter released Tuesday, the leaders of the House Oversight and Homeland Security committees signaled they are willing to subpoena Inspector General Joseph Cuffari if he does not comply with their requests.

The lawmakers are pressing for Cuffari to provide records and testimony about alleged efforts to cover up the erasure of Secret Service communication related to the Jan. 6 attack. They also want Cuffari to recuse himself from the department’s internal investigation into the handling of the texts.

“Your obstruction of the Committees’ investigations is unacceptable, and your justifications for this noncompliance appear to reflect a fundamental misunderstanding of Congress’s authority and your duties as an Inspector General,” House Oversight Chair Carolyn Maloney and Homeland Security Chair Bennie Thompson wrote in the letter.

“If you continue to refuse to comply with our requests, we will have no choice but to consider alternate measures to ensure your compliance,” they wrote.

D.E.M.O.C.R.A.T. is just another way to spell C.R.I.M.I.N.A.L.

Well, they have to prove that Trump tried to strangle an agent while taking over control of the “Beast”.

It’s good to OWN Garland and the FIB guys. The RATS are going apesh*t with all their demands to either execute or put Americans in Concentration Camps.

Once the courts let them start breaching executive privilege, it was like opening Pandora’s box.

There you have it. The Democrats would rather put all their effort into persecuting a political opponent senselessly than get this nation on the right track. This is what will go on and on and on while we allow them to remain in power.
