Lying or withholding evidence to obstruct a national security investigation is a serious crime, is violation of oath to Constitution, and is cause for immediate termination of employment, no?

Does that mean that they have the flow of information but not the details of what individual communications might contain? That is my thought but I’m not versed in these things.

Oh, wait. I thought Trumpers in the Secret Service sabotaged their phones and deleted the messages. Too bad, Trumpers.

Expect some indictments of secret service members for sedition arising from this evidence.

Perhaps this season, we can vote the outcomes (with an 800 number) for those that violated their oaths American Idol style?

I guess that’s what a certain Tuesday in November is for…

OT, but worth noting… Artificial sweeteners and risk of cardiovascular diseases: results from the prospective NutriNet-Santé cohort | The BMJ

Short take - they ain’t good for ya. Increased risk of heart attack/stroke, etc. Do we know anyone who drinks a lot of diet Coke?

I don’t know about the rest, but Teams stores all IMs in a secret folder of a person’s emailbox (inaccessible to the user). It can be exported to PST in a discovery search. So, this is what she may be referring to.

The amount of information you uncover when you do forensics in good faith is bound to be more than the big zero that results from deciding not to try. That’s always been the biggest red flag to me, the explicit orders from Cuffari et al. to stop collecting evidence.

Lofgren hinted at having “concerns” about the new material contradicting some of the testimony the committee has received.

IOW, some of the people who thought their texts were all conveniently gone lied to the J6C, and now their testimony doesn’t match the documentary evidence.

Let’s see who suddenly resigns from the Secret Service in the next few days.

Lofgren told MSNBC that the Secret Service has handed over a “large volume” of “very pertinent” material in response to the Jan. 6 committee’s subpoena since the panel’s last hearing in July.

I think what shouldn’t be lost in all this is that Dark Brandon strikes again. About two weeks ago, he appointed a new director of the Secret Service, and now we hear this. Definitely not a coincidence. And if it’s possible to retrieve those missing texts, I’m confident serious attempts will now be made to find them. I couldn’t necessarily say that before.

“There’s texts, there’s emails, there’s radio traffic, there’s all kinds of information,” Lofgren said

So…the SS has dumped a pile of shit on the committee. There’s no evidence yet that any of that shit is responsive to the committee’s or other congresscritters’ jan5/6 records retention requests. But the committee will want to make approving noises to scare other witnesses into compliance.

The jan 6th committee is not conducting a national security investigation (whatever you think that phrase means).
