For every Mark Meadows there is a Cassidy Hutchinson
Secret Service officials now appear to be trying to scapegoat their own agents over the agency’s deletion of January 6th related text messages that were deleted after Congress formally requested them.
These officials can run but they can’t hide. For every Mark Meadows there is a Cassidy Hutchinson. Top officials in any government agency all have deputies or close aides who are ultimately willing to testify against them, either because it’s the right thing to do, or because they’d rather give up their bosses than risk going to prison for contempt.
In other words, whether external investigators end up being able to recover the deleted text messages or not, there are a number of ways for this to go wrong for anyone within the Secret Service who has something to hide from the three governmental bodies that are now investigating these deleted texts. When Congress, the National Archives, and the Homeland Security Inspector General are all investigating you for the same scandal, you might as well just come clean.
