The Secret Service conveniently deleted a video of Joe Biden’s dog Commander savagely biting one of their agents just one year ago.
According to the Daily Mail, the video would have showed Commander running full stride and “jumping toward the agent in the East Wing’s Kennedy Garden, leaving a ‘deep bite’ on the individual’s left arm ‘that reportedly needed stitches”
But the Secret Service claims they deleted it in compliance with federal retention standards. Yeah, sure.
Here’s the news:
The Secret Service destroyed a video that captured President Joe Biden’s dog Commander chomping down on one of its agents – in an attack that forced the White House to shut down tours so blood could be wiped off the floor.
DailyMail.com filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the Secret Service in March after a video was mentioned as part of an email that detailed a June 15, 2023 biting incident with the since-banished first dog.
The video purportedly showed Commander running at a high rate of speed and jumping toward the agent in the East Wing’s Kennedy Garden, leaving a ‘deep bite’ on the individual’s left arm ‘that reportedly needed stitches,’ the email said.
‘East Wing Tours were stopped for approximately 20 minutes due to blood from the incident being on the floors in the area of the Booksellers,’ the message continued, referencing the room that is just inside from the garden.
The Secret Service’s Freedom of Information Act Officer Kevin Tyrrell wrote to DailyMail.com in a letter Friday that ‘Due to Secret Service retention standards, the above mentioned file(s) has been destroyed.’
In a follow-up exchange, Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi explained that the agency abides by the ‘federal records retention schedule that defines when certain types of records can be archived, destroyed, etc.’
Guglielmi said he didn’t have ‘direct knowledge’ of the video in question. ‘Based on that response, I am assuming the record in question is no longer available because of the expiration of record retention.’
While DailyMail.com previously obtained a photo of Commander jumping up and appearing to bite a White House groundskeeper, video footage of the dog attacks hasn’t been released.
There are at least 25 documented Commander attacks – and more from the Bidens’ previous rescued German Shepherd Major.
It took 25 documented attacks by Joe Biden’s dog before they finally got Commander away from the White House. That’s insane and the media never really scanalized these attacks either, which went on for three years. Sure, they mentioned it from time to time, but if Trump had a dog doing this there would have been outrage in all corners of the media until Trump did something about it.
And you can be sure that the Secret Service would have never deleted these videos if Trump had been president and it wouldn’t have taken a FOIA to get the videos released.
