  It’s not like there is even a message backup in most cases. You wipe the phone and send it back to your managing authority to turn in to GSA or some equivalent. Honestly, this is really a government wide problem as far as national archives go.
  Edit: factory reset, not wipe… but, tomato/tomatoe
context: Does the report say anything about the secret service texts ? That’s what I am most curious about. >
  
  I don’t know what your talking about, but since I see no reply’s it only further peaks my curiosity >
  
  the texts from secret service agents that went "missing" after a "routine" device purge happened during the presidential change over.
  i don't know if it was in the report, but that was a pretty "convenient" breach of governmental records keeping. >
  
  To be fair… I’d comfortably say 4/5 government employees have no idea how to comply with records mandates.
