-Blackadder- posted:Thinking about it now Gaetz is exactly the kind of dude who probably followed Trump around and copied his style like Charlie Sheen did Michael Douglas in Wall Street. And when you look at Gaetz's behavior/comments he's pretty clearly attempting to ape Trump's belligerent, "always attack/never apologize" media persona. Lmao, I wasn't sure when it was first brought up, but that picture on the left is 100% Robbie Rotten.

Concerning Gaetz, in those photos he looks like a horrifying facsimile an AI would attempt to generate, for example:

Yep, this is fine. Looks like we can add DOD to the list. https://twitter.com/petestrzok/status/1554560529355706369 EDIT: An excerpt from the article for those who haven't yet read it. quote:A former Defense Department official from a previous administration told CNN that it is ingrained into new hires during their onboarding that their work devices were subject to the Presidential Records Act and indicated their communications would be archived. The source said it was assumed when they turned in their devices at the end of their employment, any communication records would be archived. -Blackadder- fucked around with this message at 00:43 on Aug 3, 2022 |

Plain, unencrypted SMS going through a cellular network won't be fully backed up because there's no monetary benefit. Messages may be backed up temporarily to permit sending in case of outages, but after they are sent those temporary copies would also disappear. The provider typically has a log, similar to a call log, with timestamp and destination, but those aren't necessarily retained forever either. It's not impossible that downstream systems have copies of original text. Analytics systems may get messages to drive advertising, for example, but that data is sent without PII and cannot be connected back to the original senders. The usual approach is predicated on specific legal requests, which provide a window of coverage and are filed quickly to avoid automated systems that dump data otherwise considered unimportant/routine. Data storage is not cheap, despite what you've heard. :/

That might be true, but I also suspect an agency with the initials NSA might be keeping track of that as well.

Also, nsa won't reveal that stuff in public channels - famously, they listen, they don't speak. But there could be something useful for parallel reconstruction by a prosecutor or investigator with adequate clearance ???

Justice Dept. Subpoenas Pat Cipollone, Trump White House Counsel Mr. Cipollone is the highest-ranking White House official working for President Donald J. Trump during his final days in office who is known to have been called to testify by federal investigators. Pat A. Cipollone, the White House counsel under former President Donald J. Trump who tried to stop some of his more extreme efforts to overturn the 2020 election, has been subpoenaed by a federal grand jury investigating activities in the lead-up to the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, a person familiar with the subpoena said. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/02/us/politics/pat-cipollone-subpoena.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

He's losing a lot of money at best, and going to prison at worst. And I'm glad those January 6th folks move fast. Because this is 2 years worth of texts and emails so it covers January 6th.

Not only does it cover January 6, it covers the build-up to the 2020 election. I'd almost certainly guarantee there's Steve Bannon-level premeditation for crimes there.

The plaintiff's lawyer just had the best day he's ever going to have in his professional career, might as well just retire and go out on top. The hot mic was great, he was just musing aloud about the possibilities, and probably fully erect while doing so. Jones' lawyer by contrast was white as a sheet.

I'm gonna trot out a post someone else made that I absolutely agree with about this last night. quote:"For those of you claiming nothing will happen, he's white and he's rich: your logic is sound but your conclusion is incorrect. Yes, he's white and he's rich. But he's also making a joke of the legal system, and courts cannot abide that. Especially when thousands of dumbfuck yokels are watching. If AJ fans figure out they can gum up the works like this -- hire the dumbest lawyer you can and play dumb as an affirmative defense -- and suffer no consequences? The system falls apart. The system is extremely interested in making sure there is no question as to who gets the last laugh, and it's always them. And today he got found out committing at worst a criminal conspiracy and at best misrepresenting his financial assets and perjury. He's hosed and going to be losing a lot of money. At worst he's looking at jail time.
