Democratic chairs of the House Oversight and Homeland Security committees said in a letter to DHS inspector general Joseph Cuffari on Monday that they obtained new evidence showing that his office may have “secretly abandoned efforts” to collect text messages from the Secret Service more than a year ago and that it possibly took steps to “cover up the extent” of the missing records.
May have? When will “Top Dems” say it like it is?
You know what they say … it’s not the crime, it’s the Cuffar-up that’ll get you.
This sweater is rapidly unraveling
Cuff Cuffari!!!
(h/t @lizzymom)
The chairs noted that Cuffari told Congress in a letter for the first time last month that Secret Service text messages from Jan. 5 and 6, 2021 had been deleted. The Dem chairs said Cuffari’s letter failed to mention that a year earlier, senior officials in his office instructed the DHS that the office of inspector general no longer needed Secret Service text messages as part of its probe related to the Capitol insurrection, citing emails on July 27, 2021 from Cuffari’s deputy, Thomas Kait, to a liaison.
More consequences from not firing Cuffari (and all other Trump holdovers) on Day 1.
Quit pussy-footing around, Dems!!
And Joe, you need to get the fuck ON this. Cuffari has been defending Trump since he got the IG gig.
It was like Junior putting Tony Soprano in charge of gaming licenses in Jersey!!
Their excuses are less plausible than “The dog ate my homework.”
“These documents raise troubling new concerns that your office not only failed to notify Congress for more than a year that critical evidence in this investigation was missing, but your senior staff deliberately chose not to pursue that evidence and then appear to have taken steps to cover up these failures,” Maloney and Thomas wrote.
Why do they insist and being “polite”? The highlighted phrase should have been:
“…and then appear to have taken steps to cover up these failures actions and inactions”
Things are unraveling faster than Meghan McCain’s spandex.
Joe Biden’s administration is ABSOLUTELY derelect in not replacing but leaving them in place (Trump loyalists and political operatives) who actively obstructed the investigation and continue to undermine Biden
Couldn’t help myself
God what a quagmire.
Damn!!! The Orange One has endorsed Greitens.Ain’t this your state?
Yes! I was quickly glancing at FB and saw Trump endorsed Eric, I thought it meant Schmitt MO-AG, but then the phone rang and the first political message that got through, said it was Greitens. This may be the first time in MO primaries where it will be interesting to see who gets the nomination to run on the Republican side. Hauling Ass Hawley endorsed Vicki Hartzler, I don’t think Schmitt has gotten a big name to endorse him, but in total there are 21 Republicans running to be the next MO senator. I wonder how MO Republicans can keep this together.
Wow, this is FOX
…when you don’t even own a dog.
That’s gold, baby!
About time

ETA: This bit from the BBC article on the operation:
Officials said Zawahiri was on the balcony of a safe house when the drone fired two missiles at him.
I think they may want to revisit their definition of “safe house”.
