Not just for them. They said it was a SW glitch in the logging of text messages for government issued devices.

Specifically from Dec. 16 2016 until May 15 2017.

That covers from when Trump transition got their Gov Phones through the first five months of the Presidency.

This does warrant a full explanation.

DOJ is the Executive Branch. This is a Trump Admin failure or possibly Flynn or others took the system off-line intentionally.

Nice disinformation. The deletion affected the Strzok messages only. How convenient. RIGGED: FBI Deletes Thousands of Text Messages Between Anti-Trump Agents Before Investigators Can See

The FBI “failed to preserve” five months worth of text messages exchanged between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, the two FBI employees who made pro-Clinton and anti-Trump comments while working on the Clinton email and the Russia collusion investigations.

“The Department wants to bring to your attention that the FBI’s technical system for retaining text messages sent and received on FBI mobile devices failed to preserve text messages for Mr. Strzok and Ms. Page,” Stephen Boyd, the assistant attorney general for legislative affairs at the Justice Department, wrote to Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, the chairman of HSGAC.

Where does it say that?
Where does it say they were the only ones effected?
Where do they say "Deletion"?

Please link to the letter, not True Pundit et al.

SW issues do not effect people selectively, they effect the SW.

I know thinking isn't at the top on your list whilst constructing BS.

AND PSSSST...THE DOJ IS THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION...THE DATES OF ISSUE ARE DEC. 16th 2016 - MAY 17TH 2017.
That is right when Team Trump got their Gov. Issued Devices through the first five months of Trump.

Isn't it equally, if not more, interesting that Comey was dismissed on May 9, 2017?

The director of the FBI has a much more direct involvement in approving/authorizing FBI-device SW updates.

This glitch was noticed or resolved in the wake of his dismissal...was that coincidental? We really do need more information.

ETA: Also, Trump had no executive authority on December 16, 2016, so I am unclear where you are going with that. Can you expound?

The texts were probably more about the nature of
the "insurance policy" and gave details about Lynch
knowing Clinton wouln't be charged. Hence the
mocking of her "profile in courage" by Lisa Page.

They were so damning it would immediately
end The Special Counsel investigation, and render
the FBI a complete joke.

This is the reason they are "missing"

Arrest these people. If they subpoenaed during the MUeller investigation Bannon's e-devices and he could not provide them the world would end in the media and the DNC.

I do not even care who they support. This is criminal.

And yet, I sit here totally not surprised that the FBI would lose those texts. How convenient...

I swear, I don't think this whole thing could get any more rotten if they tried. This investigation is well beyond irredeemably tainted and very much appears to be an attempt to overthrow an elected president based on manufactured evidence. This farce needs to be shut down and instead, the 'investigators' need to be investigated.

THIS!!!

Anyone with even the slightest background in IT or data retention knows that this just can't be true...

IF IT IS TRUE, then the FBI really are not fit for purpose.

This could never happen in my company and we just do building insurance.

Absolutely ridiculous.

Exactly. Things do not disappear in the cyber world unless you TRY to remove it.

The damage has been done. Maybe not quite a "joke" but definitely incompetent to the point they can't be trusted. The FBI has always had the reputation of being an organization that is as straight-up as you can get. Kids wanted to grow up to be FBI agents. Now we find out they're partisan and will work against a sitting president. There is a lot of shame here and I can't believe what we're finding out.

Can't blame the Russians!

All FBI Galaxy S5's come pre-loaded with Samsung Knox security suite, which specifically states it archives text messages.. This could not be altered or disabled by anyone other than an FBI system admin by special request...

Who's Lying: FBI Says 5 Months Of Texts "Lost," Yet IG Horowitz Says His Office Received Them In August

Not a Storm but a Tsunami coming!

a reply to: thepixelpusher

Depends on if Horowitz actually has them, or if he never verified and just assumed he has them.

If the former....you can put a fork in the FBI. If the latter....why didnt this get pointed out at the time?

There is a pretty big elephant in the room here:

If the FBI is prepared to take the risk of presidential level subterfuge by deleting/falsifying evidence, what have they been prepared to do in the past on lower levels?

The FBI's foundation is built on supposed integrity, how far does this go and how many people have been burned?

Doesn't it shake the ground?

a reply to: bigfatfurrytexan

If they requested them and didn't get them (texts) back then, again it would be stonewalling and destruction of evidence for another request. Either way the FBI loses and heads will roll, as they should.

They should check Devin Nunez, he probably forgot to return the files he was using to create his memo..
