It turns out that career officials at Homeland Security tried to alert Congress in April that Secret Service texts from the time of the January 6 Capitol attack had been erased -- but the information seems to have been suppressed by Joseph Cuffari's office. Via the Guardian: The new revelations appear to show that the chief watchdog for the Secret Service and DHS took deliberate steps to stop the retrieval of texts it knew were missing. The officials inside the inspector general’s office – the chief watchdog for the Secret Service – prepared a memo that detailed how the Secret Service was resisting the oversight body’s review into January 6, and delayed informing it about the lost texts. But after the memo was emailed to the DHS inspector general Joseph Cuffari’s chief of staff, its contents were never seen again, and the disclosure about the erased text messages was never included in Cuffari’s semi-annual report to Congress about oversight work. The revelation shows that the Secret Service only admitted texts from January 6 were lost months after they were requested by the inspector general’s office, and that Cuffari might have violated federal law in not reporting the matter in the report to Congress. Trump naturally gravitates to lying thugs, and it sounds like that's what he installed as head of DHS for his own purposes.
