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.
