Massie's Fascinating Questioning Of J6 Committee Chair On Deleted Secret Service Texts, Pipe Bombs

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) is not an attorney. But you might have thought that he was with the way he baited Jan. 6 Committee Chair Bennie Thompson (D-MS) and then reeled in the hook. He had some fascinating questions, and when you see where he's going with it, it's a pretty epic video. The questions he asks are pretty important. He upsets the apple chart as to the facts on the deleted Secret Service texts from Jan. 6 and exposes the Committee's failures on the pipe bomb question. -- Rep. Thomas Massie: Secret Service deleted texts from J6 and destroyed their phones AFTER being told by Congress to preserve them. Obstruction of Congress occurred under Sec Mayorkas. I asked Chair of J6 committee about this & whether he even investigated the bomb placed near VP Harris. Nothing!

Massie said the texts were deleted after the preservation requests from Congress and so he considered it a violation of the Federal Records Act. He pointed to a statement that he entered into the record where Thompson and Liz Cheney said such a thing would violate the Act. Thompson agreed he thought it would be a violation. That's when Massie dropped the hammer on Thompson. He said that the excuse given for the deletion was that the material was wiped out during the migration of the phones. But as he points out, at least some of that migration was still happening on February 26, 2021, under DHS head Alejandro Mayorkas, in February. Whoops. Massie later posted the documents he referenced in the hearing. https://twitter.com/RepThomasMassie/status/1754887815538569292
