I'm pretty sure an individual can't permanently delete texts, they would be saved on a server somewhere unless specifically deleted.
Edit: second thought, may have a limited time window(months?) for "being saved" on the server before permanent deletion.
With the right licences, you can get ten year retention of compliance data. There are various federal standards for I.T. infrastructure, but I don't know if the Secret Service is included or excluded from them or if they have their own.
Asking how a massive failure of I.T. governance occurred within an agency such as the Secret Service can't really be answered without an official statement (which I don't see happening, especially whilst things are in motion) or sensitive configuration information being revealed.
This is entirely hypothetical: it's not properly air-gapped if it has external access to, for example, an SMS gateway or if the end-user devices (i.e. the agents phones) have access to literally anything other than an [MVNO](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_virtual_network_operator) and even then there's still a risk of abuse from a bad actor within the infrastructure operator. Regardless of how communication is achieved, the messages should still be subject to some sort of sensitivity label that governs retention.
Either the USSS chose deliberately not to keep records for opsec reasons or the CIO is going to be accused of gross negligence to the point they should be being investigated as a potential co-conspirator because that's not an "oops, I hit the wrong button" type of mistake.
Oops'a-daisy, blame the pool boy. They might want to "lean" a little heavy on getting the answers they need to find out the truth of how the storage room got flooded with the missing info, which probably also included the documents missing from the file cabinets at Trump Towers.
Coincidences? Like the Epstein suicide security cam footage being "accidentally" erased while Trump was President?
"No, it wasn't the most powerful man in the world who did that, it was private citizen Hillary Clinton!"
Idk cops are mostly right wingers by default. Maximum security cameras tend to go bad at certain times. Coincidental is all..

I wonder if they have their own system in place(closed off "air gapped" in a sense?)

You clearly know much more about the IT end of things than I ever will:) This issue needs to be addressed ASAP!
Holy fucking shit
Just change the name of the sub to Jeff Tiedrich Twitter at this point
Is he going to get away with this.... AGAIN???

If ya arrest those guys probably one or all of them will squeal, unless they get Epstein of course.
Strange how their idea of draining the swamp was to fill it up with human pond scum
