On Wednesday, Senator Gary Peters (D-MI) sent four letters to top agency officials demanding more details on how the Secret Service went about deleting Trump administration text messages.

DOD and Army conveyed…

Speaking of DoD and Army, I sure would like somebody to talk to Mike Flynn’s brother.

Who the fuck initiated, authorized and/or carried out this alleged “data migration” of the SS text messages which, as trotted by the SS, is the most laughable fabricated excuse for deleting text messages ever put forward by anyone?

Might be easier to gather evidence when the traitors underestimate their exposure and leave more crumbs, including steps to cover-up such as burning, eating, wiping, flushing and absconding with records. I just recalled Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy…how slowly and meticulously Smiley had to dig to root out the mole!

It’s not laughable. Wiping and/or destroying the old hardware is a staple of corporate computer and/or phone upgrades. It would be notable if the old hardware was not wiped during an upgrade.

It was supposed to be a data migration, not a wipe.

I’m beginning to think it would have been cheap just to buy everyone new phone, and keep the old ones for reference, after they’ve been checked.
But hey it’s not like the people involved were in the midst of “an unprecedented” attack on our nation’s Capital, or something like that.

However, OUR GOVERNMENT has very different rules and regulations. That former guy did not “CEO” the federal government, and his minions were subject to actual laws, not CEO whimsy.

Well, that’s what an honest administration would have done.

The boss of the local Genovese Family contingent in the town I grew up in was “Big Nose Sam” Cufari. I’m wondering if this guy just added an additional “f” to his last name so no one would suspect that they were related.

That former guy acted liked a sole proprietor of the federal gov’t.

No. It is described as a hardware upgrade.

In the legal context of the Federal Records Act and a multifaceted coup attempt.
We’re not fooled.
It’s a long war against legal accountability for minorities, such as international criminal syndicates; we’re catching up: Trump’s coming under our thumb and Putin’s caught stealing Crimea.

“The agency said the deletions were part of a preplanned “system migration,” that agents had been instructed to back up their own phones, and that any “insinuation” of malicious intent is wrong.”
