Secret Service surveillance tapes may have been erased

WASHINGTON – The Secret Service may have erased surveillance videos following a crash into a White House security barrier involving two agents.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) told CBS News Wednesday that he had watched two videos from around the White House after the crash. However, he says that in a closed-door meeting Tuesday, Secret Service Director Joseph Clancy told him it is common policy to destroy surveillance tapes from around the White House after 72 hours.

“That’s just a stunning revelation that 72 hours after they make a tape they destroy it? That doesn’t make any sense to us,” Chaffetz told CBS News.

Is there any government agency that does anything right? I really do not think so. How is it you MAY have erased something? Either you did or you didn't.

More of the Obama administration's transparency that they brag about so often.

Destruction of the tapes every 72 hours regardless of whether or not they contain evidence? I don't believe that for a second.

Destroying the tapes doesn't mean that they don't digitize them first.
