As someone else said, it's apparently better to endure the punishment for deleting the evidence, rather than the evidence being exposed to the world. I hate this place. Thanks, Sis <3

It’s always and I mean always the cover up —right now it’s hard to extend the benefit of the doubt to the USSS -primarily this is suppose to be an apolitical organization yet (sorry for yelling)

THEY LET TONY ORNATO RETAIN HIS POSITION AND PROMOTED HIM —after Trump handpicked him to be his deputy Chief of Staff. That goes against the basic tenets of the apolitical environment the USSS says it is. It’s utter bullshit and the USSS needs to purge the Trump loyalist and senior management forthwith

OMFG I should not respond using my iPhone while running to a meeting —my last comment had too many spelling errors. Somewhere in the DC area my English teacher is banging her head against a concrete wall🤦🏻‍♀️Bejesus even for me that was embarrassing

Absolutely it is. But go ahead and take 30 days and come back with nothing while we twiddle our thumbs.

Did you see the story re Ornato/trump background? Something about how Ornato was a cop in CT while a young girl disappeared from a pizza place in a possible Epstein op?

Long time ago, yes. He sounds "loyal."

Definitely. That orange piece of garbage has allies everywhere. They should have been released. National security is at stake.

Exactly, Jonji. It's like flushing docs down the toilet (you gotta flush 10-15 times in some cases) or burning docs in a WH fireplace---proving it and prosecuting it means they'll get away with it.

The first rule of data migration is back up the data, and backup the backup. If the old devices exist, I’m guessing someone has drilled a hole in them to prevent forensic data recovery.

INDEED at my employer -the firm has delayed electronic upgrades for a variety of reasons but the first step is “back up your shit or get fired” <—I’m kind of paraphrasing but that’s the subtext

As a US taxpayer, I'd be happy, no VERY happy, if some of my tax money went to hiring an independent , outside entity to conduct a forensic examination of the USSS comms. I'm not a programmer, but I know from prior experience that nothing is ever really gone. Subpoena the phone company records & sic a computer wiz bang on those servers until the comms in question are found.

Concur the USSS can’t and shouldn’t be trusted to investigate their own actions. Also most might not know the DHS-OIG was a Trump nominee and I’m pretty sure the USSS is livid that the DHS-OIG went public. There needs to be serious leadership change at the USSS otherwise I hope Congress tightens the purse strings on an agency that has rogue agents. Sorry that’s where I am with this whole fubar

AND . . . if they have nothing to hide, they should welcome and fully cooperate with an outside investigation . . . right? Because innocent people who have nothing to hide do not try to hide things.

Thx!

I think you are correct. It seems highly suspicious that no one backed up their messages. This seems more like another attempt at covering up their involvement

Helminski is spot on.

Sigh.

Thank you for the heads up that this missive/missile would be a complete, frustrated, "JESUS. CHRIST."

Make. It. Stop.

And, reading your facts about the link to investigation of financial crimes, I entirely agree that it's troubling that USSS was *realigned*

This entire situation is about as crazy as it gets! Think about that everyone! The USSS is responsible for cyber security and they are claiming they can’t retrieve these text messages! Give me a freaking break! Can’t the DOJ summons AT&T?

You know there’s a card game that easily describes what the USSS is doing —I believe that card game is called:

B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T it’s funny but also not funny at all

Expand full comment

Damn! Again, you are enlightening me! I did not know USSS jobs included cyber crimes. Your questions are spot on but Willie they be asked? Thanks once again for all you do! We truly appreciate you!

Truly, it’s always my pleasure to help, if I can, Somedays I’m more successful at it then others. But I’ll continue to keep earning your trust

Great article Files. And I feel every question is a valid question and they should be answered. WTH is going on over there in USSS? This certainly isn't their first rodeo. None of this behavior is right. Very suspicious and this shouldn't be brush under the rug. I'll be interested in seeing how it is handled. I'd say this is definitely a Big Deal.😏🤨
