The Secret Service keeps changing their explanation for erasing text messages from January 5th and 6th 2021. Naturally that is raising questions about the veracity of the Secret Service’s latest iteration. Add to that two members of the Secret Service came foreword to push back against Cassidy Hutchinson’s account of events on 1/6.

Norm Eisen was the White House Special Counsel for Ethics and Government Reform under President Obama.

x Here we go @cnn to discuss the mystery of the Secret Service.



Are there a few bad apples in there who are co-conspirators in Donald Trump‘s possible obstruction of justice and witness tampering?

Secret Service may be too close to Trump — and they might even be co-conspirators: impeachment lawyer Speaking to CNN on Sunday, Eisen said that his questions go deeper than just the text messages but about the alliances that the law enforcement agents have with the former president. "I think that the questions have a larger significance than just whether texts were lost or not," he began. "I'm more concerned that after Cassidy Hutchinson testified, after the blockbuster testimony about Donald Trump's anger that he couldn't go to the Capitol, that some in the Secret Service seem to be part of an anonymous whisper campaign disagreeing with her story. Mr. [Anthony] Ornato, Mr. [Bobby] Engel. And then you find out there have been other witnesses who have come forward and pushed back on that, including a member of the MPD. And now we find out that documents may be missing from the critical days of the 5th and the 6th."

"Was there any intentional effort to obstruct justice here as part of Donald Trump's Secret Service agents being too close to Donald Trump? We don't know the answer, but that needs to get a hard look from the service, from congress, and from the Department of Justice," he said.

We already know a number of law enforcement officers took part in the 1/6 assault on our Capitol, so why shouldn’t the Secret Service has a similar problem. On July 30tth the direktor of the Secret Service James Murray is stepping down, and going to Snapchat. President Biden has yet to announce hiss replacement.
