FBI ‘Failed To Preserve’ Five Months Of Text Messages Between Anti-Trump FBI Agents
Daily Caller, Jan 21, 2018, Chuck Ross
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 disclosure was made Friday in a letter sent by the Justice Department to the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee (HSGAC).
“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.
He said that texts are missing for the period between Dec. 14, 2016 and May 17, 2017.

How convenient.

Aren't these texts stored with the service provider? I thought they kept everything.

I think they can be retrieved just like emails can...

@mystery-ak
I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that "due to technical problems" NONE of those emails will ever be seen again.

I'm sure they were just wedding plans and yoga routines.

Meanwhile,
“The NSA sincerely regrets its failure to prevent the deletion of this data,†NSA’s deputy director of capabilities, identified publicly as “Elizabeth B.,†wrote in a declaration filed in October.

"Failed to preserve", "Failed to prevent". Coincidence, I'm sure.

What is the punishment for this? Firing squad.

More likely: 40 lashes with a wet noodle. Whatever it is, it's less than what would happen if the contents of the messages ever got out, and that shit has to change.
