What’s that Smell?

7/22/22

The impartial House Select committee doing a deep dive into the absolute truth surrounding the nearly successful overthrow of our government has found a new vein to stick; erased text messages off Secret Service Agents’ phones. The dogged ferocity of their inquiry will no doubt reveal tawdry elements that can be directly attributed to the former President, and soon-to-be resident of a federal prison. Is this yet another smoking gun from which fatal shots can be fired?

I submit that if the technology exists to capture these lost missives, and let’s hope it does for the wealth of facts it will provide about the nefarious actions of the former President, perhaps there are other “missing” items that may re-appear. It may be possible to determine if there were any additional items of interest in the Mueller investigation of “Russiagate”? The committee may have provided us with the means to look at the phones of the lawyers who conducted the probe and subsequently deleted everything off their government supplied phones….so conveniently.

Is it possible this technology could be applied to emails that were supposedly deleted, once again, from government supplied and taxpayer paid for computers? (The computers that were attached to a private server kept out of government control, despite the presence of top-secret communications.) There we may uncover the content of say, 30,000 emails that went into the atmosphere for “personal reasons”.

It’s a great day for sunshining some dark corners in our country’s history and we have the august House Select Committee investigating the greatest threat to our democracy (and second only to climate change) to thank for it.
