Re: January 6 Select Committee
They're gonna play the outtakes of the video message that was released telling them to go home. I have a feeling it will be Trump going off script and ranting about having to do this.

Re: January 6 Select Committee
Whelp, that’s one thing tfg was right about: the swamp runs deep.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/national ... -archives/Secret Service watchdog knew in February that texts had been purged
A watchdog agency learned in February that the Secret Service had purged nearly all cellphone texts from around the time of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, but chose not to alert Congress, according to three people briefed on the internal discussions.
That watchdog agency, the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General, also prepared in October 2021 to issue a public alert that the Secret Service and other department divisions were stonewalling it on requests for records and texts surrounding the attack on the Capitol, but did not do so, the people briefed on the matter said. They spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive internal investigations.
“Four House committees had already sought these critical records from the Department of Homeland Security before the records were apparently lost,” they said. “Additionally, the procedure for preserving content prior to this purge appears to have been contrary to federal records retention requirements and may represent a possible violation of the Federal Records Act.”

Everyone of these guys should be fired including the director and any deputies.

That probably means they can issue a Warrant to the service provider to hand over any copies of those tects on their servers.

Re: January 6 Select Committee
Rep Lofgren (sp?) was just on Deadline Whitehouse. She's cagey as always, but we did hear that Secret Service has retained private counsel, and it sounds like it's fairly recent. I'm not clear if SS as an agency got private counsel or individual agents are lawyering up. Sounded like there's something about that coming out tonight.

The day after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, then-President Trump released a video finally, reluctantly agreeing to a transfer of power to the “new” Biden administration. As soon as two days after the release of the White House video, however, Donald Trump wanted a mulligan.
A person with direct knowledge of the matter tells Rolling Stone that Trump told aides who were sticking by him that he wanted to deliver another speech to the nation, one in which he would double-down on the lie that the 2020 presidential election was “stolen” via “fraud.”
The re-do speech, which Trump envisioned as a primetime address, would have been a tonal 180 from the video the White House posted the day following the Trump-inspired mob assault. The source adds that the president would have directly attacked the legitimacy of Joe Biden’s incoming administration, and vowed to supporters that he would continue “fighting” for them.

Re: January 6 Select Committee
Season 1's Cliffhanger Finale, Episode 8*, is starting. MSNBC just reported via Ali Vitale there with be THREE MORE J6 HEARINGS in September! Considering there's an avalanche of new information (including Secret Service texts) and that folks are away in August, have heard from DC friends for a while there would be more after Labor Day. Looks like it's going to happen. Liz Cheney apparently will announce it tonight**. Here we go... Here's a site with free MSNBC & other news channels: https://ustvgo.tv/msnbc/
**UPDATE: Confirmed by Chairman Thompson in opening remarks 8:07pm -- Season 2 is confirmed for September!
* Liz is saying tonight is Episode 9, she said it twice, but think it's just Episode 8. Sort of strange.
OR... Join Foggy to watch Mike Lindell live on RSBN talking about Kari Lake v. Katie Hobbs in AZ over their grand slam breakfast injunction over voting machines. Counter programming, baby.
Bonus: Parody of Gilligan's Island theme song with T**** & Co.
