Pretty damn obvious.

Never forget:
Mike Pence refused to go with them on 1/6

President Biden changed his detail.

Major Biden knew!😒😒

NO….REALLY???

Wait. The Secret Service hired a private lawyer? What the fuck? https://t.co/y3pCFbmpaQ

The same people who screamed endlessly for years about Hillary Clinton’s deleted emails are awfully quiet about the U.S. Secret Service deleting (and “purging”) text messages.

Some thoughts about the Secret Service text message debacle. For context, this is 2022 (not, say 2005) and the USSS is =supposed= to be one of the most sophisticated cyber investigative agencies in the world. With that level of experience and expertise, the failures of /1

3) Who, as the USSS apparently did, leaves backup to the discretion of the individual users?

wonder why VP Pence refused to get in the car with the USSS agents) and so I don't see this as necessarily indicative of collusive USSS behavior.

Nor do I think it likely (though this is more likely) that USSS is covering up its own errors on the day (perhaps, e.g. in /11

And THAT is more than enough to be deeply troubling. The USSS needs a thorough scrub. This text-loss incident is just another in a long line of errors and mistakes. /FIN

My biggest concern about this SS situation is that I no longer trust who is assigned to protect Biden/Harris.

Rottweilers, Doberman’s and German Shepards are guard dogs. They are bred for protection. They can sense when someone is a threat. If our Rotts got to growling at somebody we paid attention. Major Biden wasnt biting them SS Agents and just them SS Agents for nothing.
