Jonathan Lemire on Lost Text Messages from Jan. 6th: It’s a Cover Up

EXCERPT:

LEMIRE: “Those records which should have been preserved as a routine matter, of course, they should always be preserved, and especially when it comes to such a momentous day as January 6th and the day that preceded it. And as we’ve been talking about this morning, the time line is just so incriminating. Yes, it was preplanned to have Secret Service swap over their phones and therefore data would not be transferred from one to the other. That -- that’s fine. That was in -- that was already in the works. But it wasn’t set to happen until end of January. And a request from investigators to preserve records came a solid week to ten days before that data transfer. There was plenty of time for that to have stopped. And -- and -- and we’re being generous in suggesting that it was completely incompetence, far more likely a cover-up.”
