The story they're telling is not entirely implausible - that the secret service just doesn't use text messages. But the entire thing is so damned fishy that it absolutely deserves close scrutiny. For example, if you don't text, why the big to-do about the system migration wiping any texts? It certainly sounds like the beginning of a story that will reveal a lot of poor behavior and possibly criminal acts.In hindsight, maybe having a secret service wasn't such a great idea.
I think it's absolutely ****ing hilarious that they were all het up and ready to officially contradict Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony before the January 6th Select Committee, after having done so unofficially, not before the committee and under oath, and then the moment it came out that they'd wiped text message records--just days after being asked to retain them, and blamed the act on some not-exactly-plausible system migration that somehow didn't involve a backup of communications that, strangely, are "kept" by individual users rather than on a service-wide system, particularly when those records are subject to the Federal Records Act of 1950--they went completely radio silent on the matter.
