No wonder the Secret Service Director just “retired”

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

The Secret Service deleted text messages shortly after the January 6th Committee requested them, per CNN. They’re claiming coincidence, but this is textbook obstruction of justice. The January 6th Committee is going to be all over this – and criminal referrals for destroying evidence are a good way to get the DOJ to go after someone.
Only question is whether those caught doing this will cut a deal and cooperate, or risk being indicted for obstruction and go to prison.

It’s also now seemingly clear why the Secret Service Director abruptly announced his retirement last week. This is the kind of scandal that will rock the agency from top to bottom until the real truth ends up emerging. Even if the Director wasn’t involved in the destruction of January 6th evidence, who would want to stick around for this kind of ground shifting scandal?

This raises the question of whether the texts can be recovered. Depending on the way the phones were set up in relation to the carrier, the answer is maybe. But the point here is that once someone gets caught committing obstruction, they know they’re on the hook for prison, so they often decide to just become a fully cooperating witness – which can be more valuable than the evidence that was destroyed.
