USSS missing Text, Mike Pence and 1/6

So, a lot of questions have been in my mind about the missing USSR texts and the whole Mike Pence not trusting members of the USSS on 1/6.

We have heard scenarios where if the USSS believes a protectee is in danger they will basically carry that protectee to get that person to where they believe they would be safe. Thankfully during 1/6 USSS didn't force Pence into the motorcade but my keeps wondering how close where they to maybe forcing Pence in and taking him away from the Capitol. Would the text messages show that might have been the plan?

It also makes me wonder who was protecting VP Harris and President Biden that day. Had all Trump loyalist been weeded out of those details by then?

The more I hear about everything and the more terrified I am becoming.

Just how close was Trump in succussing in the coup attempt and what kept it from failing. Both the violent and non-violent (Green Bay Sweep).

Pence had his family with him. That probably complicated their plans Walleye Jul 2022 #4

TFG was still president until 1/20. However, Biden had worked with SS people he trusted when he was VP so he knew who they were.

when I see them use the term “Green Bay Sweep.” That was a play the Packers used very successfully during the Lombardi years, and Vince Lombardi was a KENNEDY DEMOCRAT! I read it in David Marranis’(sp?) book When Pride Still Mattered,” a Pulitzer winner if I remember correctly. Also, I am honored to be a friend of one of the players who ran this play.
