.... Why was the secret service sending sensitive data in text messages?!
- onionisafruit 4y agoWe don’t know if they were because the messages are gone.
- me_me_me 4y agoLOL, they purposely wiped messages because they contained alibi for the whole thing, right? Nazis started burning documents when loosing war, but it was probably cook books and poetry tomes, we could never know.
- panarky 4y agoThe fact that the messages are gone is pretty good evidence that they're incriminating.
- everforward 4y agoAfaik, that can be introduced into court as well. If spoliation of evidence can be demonstrated, evidence of that can be brought into court, and the jury can be instructed that they are allowed (but not required) to assume that the evidence was unfavorable to the party that destroyed it. That they're willing to admit it is extremely concerning. It either means they think they can get away with it, or that whatever was in the texts is worse than what they're being accused of. Neither is a good thing for a functioning democracy.
- senectus1 4y agoI wonder if this is the media calling text messages and meaning "signal messages" or some other app. I'd be shocked if the SecServ was smsing at all...
