Sorry But It Will be A Cold Day In Hell When The Secret Service is Investigated
TSF appointed the Inspector general and he has quite the rap sheet:

DHS Inspector General
Cuffari was nominated by Donald Trump[11] and was confirmed by a voice vote[12] in the U.S. Senate as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Inspector General (IG) on July 25, 2019.[3] Upon being confirmed he pledged to continue unannounced inspections of immigration detention facilities.[13]
Cuffari rejected his staff's recommendation to investigate what role the United States Secret Service played in the forcible clearing of protesters from Lafayette Square during the Donald Trump photo op at St. John's Church in June 2020.[11]
Cuffari also sought to limit the scope of the investigation into the spread of COVID-19 within the Secret Service, which had been attributed to the Trump Re-Election Campaign not following COVID guidelines.[14][15] It was later reported that 881 employees of the Secret Service had been infected with COVID, more than 11% of the agency.[16]
Following Brian Murphy's September 2020 whistleblower complaint about Chad Wolf, Ken Cuccinelli, and Kirstjen Nielsen politicizing Department of Homeland Security assets to support the views of both Stephen Miller and Donald Trump, Cuffari began his inspector general (IG) investigation into alleged misconduct at Department of Homeland Security (DHS) after the November 2020 elections.[17][18][19][20][21][22][23] The DHS Office of Intelligence & Analysis released no "intelligence products specific for the January 6", 2021 attack on the capitol.[24] On April 27, 2021, Brian Volsky, the former head of the DHS inspector general's whistleblower protection unit, filed a memo with CIGIE accusing Cuffari and James Read, who was the DHS IG counsel to Cuffari and Kristen Fredricks (who was Cuffari's DHS IG chief of staff) of mishandling Brian Murphy's complaints.[25][26]
In December 2021, Cuffari's office learned that Secret Service text messages from the time of the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 had been deleted. Staff members of his office planned to contact the respective offices, collect the phones and use data recovery specialists to try to recover the messages. However, Cuffari decided not to review any of the phones. He informed Congress in July 2022 in a letter that the text messages were lost. Cuffari learned in February 2022 that text messages of former acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf and acting DHS Deputy Ken Cuccinelli were lost in a reset after they left the DHS. He did not investigate the deletion of these records.[27][28] In August 2022, the chairs of the Oversight and Reform Committee and Committee on Homeland Security accused Cuffari of hampering the Congressional investigation into the January 6 attack on the US Capitol and made public a letter he wrote refusing to share documents related to the investigation or to allow members of his office to be interviewed.

In October 2022, NPR reported that the majority of lawyers in the Office of Counsel had left. The departures often stemmed from the lawyers' unease with how Joseph Cuffari managed the watchdog role. Earlier in 2022, the Senate Judiciary Committee's top leaders raised concerns that Cuffari downplayed widespread reports of sexual harassment and misconduct at DHS. In May 2022, Cuffari issued a scathing response, shifting the blame onto lower-level employees in his agency.[32
