The ongoing congressional investigations into the Jan. 6 riot have unfolded alongside a parade of fresh stories of potential cover-ups: Everything from a seven-hour gap in the President’s call logs to his efforts to destroy documents by flushing them down the toilet.
Welcome, Kaila Philo!
I appreciate the good reporting that reminds us of the importance of these watchdog NGOs in our own country, which can broaden and deepen the democratic nature of our society.
An inspector general that misleads investigators is worse than no IG at all. This is smilar to a fraud examiner working to help fraudsters, instead of collecting evidence and referral of information to Congress or law enforcement. An IG like this is like a corrupt policeman (in the internal affairs unit.)
This needs to be handled.
On the plus side, an absence of text messages is now a reliable marker of complicity in the coup attempt.
Excellent report Kaila. @kaila
Careless Russian smokers. What can you do?
I like the acronym “POGO” for a government watchdog since it references “We have met the enemy and they are us”.
Let’s review. An administration that was elected only thanks to Comey’s legitimation of wildly overblown accusations about real but comparatively trivial violations of the Government Records Act by Hillary Clinton, ran an entire 4-year administration communicating by encrypted text messages that they subsequently destroyed entirely, and nothing will happen to them because the evidence has all gone poof. I guess it goes to show the wisdom of going all in on your criming from the get-go, with deliberate premeditation.
Of course they knew they were vital to the investigation. That’s why they were deleted.
Mobsters
Or of complicity in the cover-up—which transgression has a solid record of top billing in the drama of American political and corporate corruption.
Cuffari, like DeJoy, needs to go, like, yesterday.
Good report @kaila, BUT please consider how you use the word "lost."
If all these agencies “lost” their texts that makes it seem like an accident. This situation is clearly not that. A better, more neutral word (if that’s want you want to say) would be “missing,” versus “intentionally deleted/erased” which is what we all seem to know at this point.
“Yesterday” all (the grifters) seemed so far away.
Now it looks as though they’re here to stay…"
Yup. That Russian air base is clearly out of range of Ukrainian missiles. Or is it? On an entirely unrelated 
topic, President Biden, as CIC of the military can and did move another $Billion worth of military equipment out of our stockpiles to Ukrain and there is nothing the R’s can do about it. That included some spare Mig “parts” that may explain how the Ukrainian Air Force got the means to launch, and the HARM missiles that are deadly against Russian air defense installations. Putin will not be deploying his duct taped together military against NATO nations as previously threatened.
…will be Mobsters.
I thought it was Purchase One (Politician) Get One Free…???
We could make sure that they get the message from the Ukraine Defense Ministry.
