In reply to the discussion: Another Jeff Tiedrich tweet about Secret Service texts: [View all]reACTIONary
(7,330 posts)50. The SS does have iPhones...
...I wasn't sure at first, but one article specifically mentioned they were iPhones. Another article mentioned that the texts that were deleted was due to the recipient not backing up their phones before wiping them.
This is very consistent with my own experience as related above.

FYI, I work in a high security organization which is why we are issued iPhones. Security is one of their primary features. So is privacy. The security makes them attractive for the organization while the privacy makes them a pain. Believe me, where I work, if the IT dept could back them up they would.
This whole SS conspiracy theory is flimsy, unsubstantiated bullshit.

Twitter did a routine scheduled equipment replacement so all accounts got deleted.

Most, perhaps all law enforcement agencies record their radio communications.

Straight out of "Three Days of the Condor." Fortunately, neither Condor nor Pence got into the car.

I agree. I think Pence had the Condor scene in mind when he refused the ride. n/t

Why was it that only the texts from 1/5, and 1/6 were deleted? I call Bullshit
