The Times reported that it had been unable to obtain Bass’s text messages concerning her overseas trip to Ghana, during which the L.A. fires broke out, because they were automatically deleted and the city had not retained them.

The Times reported:

She and her office have said she was in constant communication during that period. But it’s impossible to know exactly what she was communicating, because her messages were not saved, according to a city lawyer.

“Her phone is set not to save text messages,” said the lawyer, David Michaelson.

Michaelson said that there is “no requirement that a city official or employee save text messages,” despite the fact that the city’s own document retention policies dictate that most records should be kept for at least two years.

The Times suggests that Bass is violating both state law and the city’s own administrative code.

All good, nothing to see here.

I swear criminals are the biggest dumbasses. You see this repeated on the ID channel. Text don’t go away. She is a little Marxist idiot.

She's probably using the Signal app. You can set it to delete messages after a certain period of time, e.g. a week. Signal is peer to peer, so the messages aren't stored on a server. So if you delete them from the device, they're gone. In theory.

The lowly android phones can do it. At least mine can. I can set it to delete old messages after just one day if I wanted to.

Me either. I wonder if the server has that auto-delete option like Hillary’s did?

There’s nothing to fear. There are never any consequences for these people. She’s doing what they always do.

Ghana has many unmined minerals and vast supplies of unmined gold. These ratchet ho mayors are working an angle to get some gold for the dems and a cush gig for themselves. Ambassador?

The mayoral election was between an intelligent, capable, moderate candidate vs. corrupt, extremist, buffoon.

They intentionally chose the buffoon by double digits because they couldn't bring themselves to vote for the white dude.

Hope they're enjoying this.

Lol this is a lie. Service providers have every sms sent through their connection. I've gotten reports of mine before.

You can set text messages for 30 day minimum, 1 year, or Forever....immediate Auto delete is not an option, at least not on my phone.
