      Remember Champ biting specific members of the secret service?

      Dogs know. Dogs always know.

        That was actually Major, their younger dog at the time. Champ was their elderly dog who died a couple years ago. They since got a younger pup, Commander, and he too, has been biting staffers, but I don’t know if they revealed which agencies the victims work for. Maybe Commander is copying what his elder brother does, but iirc Major doesn’t live in the White House too often nowadays. He might just have the same intuition.

      Do we have any proof that the messages were deleted on the instruction of the White House? I’ve always thought they arranged the mass-deletion on their own - but it was a very busy time and I might well have missed the bit about them being ordered to delete them.

          All true. However, there’s a difference between being told/ordered to do a thing, and thinking (on your own), “Hey if I do this thing it’ll cover my ass and help my side”. OP is claiming they were told to do it - and that may be true, but I’d like some proof toward that.

            What’s more likely? That they all independently had the same idea to commit the same crime at the same time, or that their ringleader told them to do it, so they did it?

                This is likely bullshit, your milage may vary…but I though they used encrypted black berries. Its on a private network/vpn separate from civilian traffic.

                It seems like Trump threw a fit about it at one time.
