Byron York: Congress seeks answers after FBI claims texts missing in Trump-Russia probe
by Byron York | Jan 21, 2018, 9:07 PM

Investigators in both House and Senate were stunned late Friday when, receiving a batch of newly-released texts between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, they also received notice from the bureau that the FBI "failed to preserve" Strzok-Page messages from December 14, 2016 through May 17, 2017.

Given the amount of texting that went on between Strzok and Page, who were having an extramarital affair, that probably meant thousands of missing documents.

A number of critical events in the Trump-Russia affair occurred between December 2016 and May 2017, including:

    Conversations between Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn and Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
    The completion and publication of the intelligence community assessment of Russian interference in the 2016 election.
    The briefing in which FBI director James Comey told President-elect Donald Trump about the Trump dossier.
    The president's inauguration.
    The nomination and confirmation of new Justice Department leadership.
    Flynn's interview with the FBI (conducted by Strzok).
    Comey's assurances to Trump that he, Trump, was not under investigation.
    A variety of revelations, mostly in the Washington Post and New York Times, about various Trump figures under investigation.
    Attorney General Jeff Sessions' recusal from the Russia probe.
    The firing of top Obama Justice Department holdover Sally Yates.
    Trump's tweet alleging he was wiretapped.
    Trump's firing of Comey.
    And, finally, on May 17, 2017 — the final day of the missing texts — the appointment of Trump-Russia special prosecutor Robert Mueller.

Strzok and Page had a lot to talk about.

Again, the govt uses public providers.  AT&T Verizon or Sprint for their phones.    Those companies store these txt messages for 7 years. They store everyones for 7 years.

Is the FBI really that incompetent or are they just that corrupt.   Both?

More likely they have already gone to the carriers and taken care of that problem.

The corruption of the DOJ, FBI and CIA is mind boggling.

@Bigun
Unfortunately you are correct.

Lets all remember this is the same FBI that rewarded the hero sniper who should women and children at Waco and Ruby Ridge.

A review of FBI Director James Comey’s professional history and relationships shows that the Obama cabinet leader — now under fire for his handling of the investigation of Hillary Clinton — is deeply entrenched in the big-money cronyism culture of Washington, D.C.

How does a man with absolutely no law enforcement experience become the head of the most modern crime fighting organization in the United States? The simple answer is, Comey is complicit in Hillary Clinton’s aerial criminality.
