The U.S. Secret Service has determined it has no new texts to provide Congress relevant to its Jan. 6 investigation, and that any other texts its agents exchanged around the time of the 2021 attack on the Capitol were purged.

"There were no relevant texts in the batch of deleted texts we never examined" isn't the defense the Secret Service thinks it is.

The Secret Service was asked to preserve all records on January 16, again on Jan 25, and then the Secret Service went ahead with their mass deletions on Jan 27?

Don’t start with the “Secret Service was sloppy” nonsense. There are two possibilities. Either they broke the law violating their responsibility to preserve records. Or they obstructed justice. And let’s be honest, their behavior suggests the latter.

Aside from the vanished Secret Service records, what other crucial evidence potentially revealing Presidential and Executive Branch misbehavior during period around January 6, 2021, has somehow “disappeared?” And who is to blame for the “disappearance?”
