The attempted J6 coup runs deeper than previously thought.

Back in the Seventies Rod Serling had this to say about Nixon's involvement in Watergate and it seems to apply every bit as much for Trump:
"Twenty-eight men associated with the White House or Nixon's campaign have been indicted with 15 already pleading guilty or convicted. To those who believe Nixon had no knowledge of the affair to buy this you have to buy something else: that the President is without will, without sight, without hearing, without judgment or any instinctive knowledge of right or wrong.
I think we dare not impeach this man.
I think we should commit him- I think it is the act of ultimate compassion."

Whatever it takes...
...leaving a criminal psychopathically lying sociopath out to hold rallies and continuing to push the big lie on people, is continuing to radicalize people and endanger the lives of the rest of us and endanger the health of our democracy.

Secret Service’s January 6 text messages story has shifted several times, panel is toldLiars can never keep their lies straight. It is often said, that everything Donald Trump touches turns to crap - apparently, Trump touched the Secret Service as well.  The Secret Service’s account about how text messages from the day before and the day of the Capitol attack were erased has shifted several times, the inspector general for the Department of Homeland Security told the House January 6 select committee at a briefing on Friday.
At one point, the explanation from the Secret Service for the lost texts was because of software upgrades, the inspector general told the panel, while at another point, the explanation was because of device replacements.
The inspector general also said that though the secret service opted to have his office do a review of the agency’s response to the Capitol attack in lieu of conducting after-action reports, it then stonewalled the review by slow-walking production of materials.

Did you read the incredibly defensive post from their communications chief? This is their lead communicator? No wonder they are in hot water. I don't know if the deletion of texts was deliberate or grossly negligent, but it was certainly wrong. As a law enforcement agency, regardless of motivation, they had to know all communications related to January 6 had to be preserved. Moreover, federal law requires they be backed up. If they are agency devices, everything on them is a federal record. (Just ask Hillary Clinton.) Two strikes against them already.
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

I don't know if the deletion of texts was deliberate or grossly negligent, but it was certainly wrong. There are federal statues about keeping ALL records. Secondly, the J6 first made the request of January 16, 2021 for the Secret Service records - 10 days after Trump's attempted coup. Everyone knows that J6 and the days leading up to J6 were important to putting the pieces together for the attempted coup. The Secret Service's dog doesn't hunt. The good news is that there are backups of backups. Those texts are not lost. It will just be very inconvenient in getting to them. ...and I predict all roads will lead to Tony Ornato.

It appears that some Secret Service agents are part of Donald Trump's plot to overthrow the government. This is what we know: - After the blockbuster testimony about Donald Trump's anger that he couldn't go to the Capitol, some in the Secret Service seem to be part of an anonymous whisper campaign disagreeing with her story.
- Tony Ornato and Bobby Engel seem to exist in Trump's orbit outside of they Secret Service job duties.
- Other witnesses who have come forward and validated Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony, including a member of the MPD.
- We find out that Secret Service documents are missing from the critical days of the 5th and the 6th.
These concerns go deeper than just the text messages, these concerns are about the alliances that the law enforcement agents have with Trump. The J6C should be looking into possible legal issues and obstruction of justice charges. Had the coup attempt succeeded, and Trump declared himself dictator for life, the Secret Service would have become Trump's Schutzstaffel as what happened in 1930s Germany - with history repeating itself.
