The case of the missing Jan. 6 Secret Service text exchanges keeps unfolding: The DHS inspector general’s office drafted a statement that would have alerted Congress to the lost text messages at least a month earlier, but ultimately chose not to publish it.
Yet the draft was not ultimately made public. It’s another piece of a pattern in which Inspector General Joseph Cuffari did not alert Congress that key information had gone missing, according to the watchdog group.
Why is this guy still in his role? He’s been interfering with this effort since April and he’s still there in August? Good Heavens…
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer, perhaps?
It states, for example, that the records the Secret Service did produce were heavily redacted, and that the agency “did not indicate who approved or applied the redactions or why such redactions were originally made.”
Hey now there’s no skullduggery going on, it’s just the right hand didn’t want the left hand knowing, well anything that the head didn’t want it to know.
He knew the Committee wanted the texts.
He knew about the text wipes.
He knew what his responsibilities were.
He didn’t demonstrate adherence to his responsibilities. He did the opposite of his job. At a moment of national crisis, he used his position to “cover up” as long as he could.
And the longer he remains, the more interference he can put up.
Needs to stop - this guy is a bigger danger to democracy at this point than most of the others we’re dealing with. He’s joyfully obstructing evidence without any interference.
To this day the cover up continues.
Maybe Cuffari has a different job description…one that just maybe is stored in…in…in… one of those…boxes
And no doubt, this joker (IG Cuffari ) was appointed by the so-called "president " at the time, Donald Trump.
Why hasn’t this useless sack of shit been shown the door already? I’ve had it up to here with us not playing hardball and firing these losers.
So dUMP signed into law penalties of up to five years for doing exactly what he may be on the hook for doing.
HeeHaw…
Adding insult to irony, the law Trump signed in early 2018 — a reauthorization of the surveillance-oriented FISA Amendments Act — was introduced by Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), one of Trump’s staunchest congressional defensive tackles and, like Trump and many of his other allies, a strident critic of Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of classified emails and the FBI’s decision not to indict her.
In 2016, when Trump was running against Clinton, he regularly led chants to “lock her up!” Once in office, “Trump repeatedly called on the Justice Department and the FBI to investigate his foes and let off his friends,” pardoning tight-lipped loyalists who were convicted anyway, Peter Baker writes at The New York Times . Now, “Trump is accusing the nation’s justice system of being exactly what he tried to turn it into: a political weapon for a president, just not for him.”
“Of all of the things that Donald Trump has been investigated for — possible conspiracy between his campaign and Russia, two impeachments, and ongoing investigations related to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol that left several people dead — it would be ironic if this is what ends up sticking to Donald Trump,” Times reporter Maggie Haberman said on Wednesday’s The Daily podcast. “For years, when Donald Trump was a private businessman, he used to say to the people who worked with him, ‘It’s the little things that get you.’ Compared to everything else we just described, this is a little thing.”
Trump increased his current legal jeopardy by signing a 2018 law on handling classified documents
Payback’s a bitch. He never figured he might be subject to the same law because he knew he would be in office until his death or later.
Sad.
I’d guess that, as the deadline for a response draws near, that he’s meeting with his dream MAGAt lawyer team trying to find some means of obfuscating or otherwise delaying having to comply.
Justice Department left him no options by requesting the release od the warrant and associated docs today.
Checkmate!
Lightening now shooting outta tfgs arse…
The dude blames his lieutenants and other employees for their erasure. No employee goodwill will come his way when he breaks the first rule of leadership: Everything is the leader’s fault. Let’s see if someone “finds” something that Cuffari whimsically wishes were permanently disappeared.
That petard has some serious hoist in it.
Cuffari needs to covfefe himself.
I still don’t understand the tech well enough to decided whether this “server migration” bullshit really fails the smell test I think it does.
It smells like everyone who doesn’t want to be harassed and death threatened, at home deleted their text on purpose, knowing that the data migration would wash it all away, like dumping a body on the beach when a hurricane is coming.
Thank you.
So much for taking responsibility. He just abandoned his underlings and threw them under the bus. Shameful and he needs to be fired AND investigated.
