Will Bunch/Philadelphia Inquirer:
Break up the Secret Service and send its people to jail for the Jan. 6 cover-up
The Secret Service's missing Jan. 6 texts must be really bad, because agency higher-ups look to have committed a criminal cover-up to hide them.
Look, I know it’s now past the point of cliché to keep comparing the momentum-gaining Jan 6 investigation in the House to the 1972-74 Watergate scandal that started 50 long years ago. But as a teen Watergate geek watching today’s crisis just as intensely, there is a highly Nixonian feel to the bombshell disclosure of what looks to all the world — despite the agency’s protestations — like a massive cover-up. Both scandals started with felonies in plain sight — a campaign bugging operation, an attempted coup — but also provided a key to opening up the much deeper rot infesting the American government.
Without even knowing the content of the text messages that were destroyed, blamed on a technology-transfer snafu — under pressure from the House investigators, the agency has found a grand total of one communication from those two days — I’m here to tell you that the Secret Service scandal matters, a lot.
