New Criminal Probe Into Deleted Secret Service Texts Ahead Of Final Jan. 6 Committee Hearing

The Department of Homeland Security launched a criminal investigation into deleted Secret Service text messages that had been requested by the January 6 committee, two sources familiar with the matter tell NBC News. At its final public hearing, the committee says it intends to recreate the attack to argue that former President Trump waited nearly three hours before telling his supporters to go home.

Strange that the secret service who are cyber crimes experts appear to have committed a massive cyber crime.

Only thing I learned from this panel is that we need congressional term limits.

Now investigate the chaos at the border.

Last ten years of my career with the Dept. of Treasury every e-mail, text and IM was recorded and archived. The SS texts are somewhere and retrievable. Someone has the records and can provide them to congress.

Remember folks, that one message you send out 3 years prior when you were drunk and didn’t know what you were doing can always be found and used against you to get you fired from a job or thrown in jail, but dozens of texts sent on one of the most infamous days in our history can’t be recovered.

I'm glad "We investigated ourselves and found no evidence of our own wrongdoing.." isn't going to be a thing here.

For NBC viewers every day is Jan. 6. Must be a miserable existence.

Russiagate 2.0 and we all know what became of Russiagate

Ive seen more of this than Hunter biden.. Just shows the state of the media

[bobbierobinson]

This is pitiful. Text aren't never deleted.

[stoney]

Even every day people usually have their texts backed up. Purposefully deleting messages with no back up?
VERY FISHY!!!

[abbeygrantham]

Have they checked Nancy's messages? I thought she was high up on authority as far as calling in the national guard. Did she not think it was that bad?

[ronnineinhaus]

LMAO! A criminal probe into Hearsay, How many more millions are you going to waste?

[jasonwilliamson]

That's wonderful. So what are we doing about the inflation and gas prices?

[HAGA]

I don’t think an average American cares about any of this.

[MTSLINY]

This whole clown show is a great example of why most Americans have lost trust in legacy “news” networks and even more distrust Congress. Jan 6 panel is an embarrassment

[hadpretty]

0 % of Americans are talking about this at the dinner table

[ionaford]

I'd like to see Nancy's messages!

[Wildwwill]

Put Pelosi and the DC mayor on stand. They need to answer why they turned down the 10-20, 000 National Guard Trump offered to guard the capitol for Jan6.

There is a server some where in the system that does have the information being sought UNLESS it was purposely deleted and the Hard Drive destroyed.
