FULL TITLE:
Justice Department 'has FOUND and is recovering some' of the 50,000 missing text messages between the Trump-hating FBI lovers
The Justice Department has started to recover missing text messages between two FBI officials who expressed an anti-Trump bias, Fox News reported The department last week revealed a critical gap in messages between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page Strzok is a counterintelligence agent who worked on Hillary Clinton 's email case; Page worked with Strzok on the special counsel investigation into Russia Texts between the pair from December 14, 2017 to May 17, 2017 are missing Time frame covers the transition to the beginning of special counsel probe Attorney General ordered a probe and said 'we will use every technology available to determine whether the missing messages are recoverable' Trump called it 'one of the biggest stories in a long time' in a Tuesday tweet that noted the missing messages were 'all in prime time. Wow!' The White House then said the scandal may point to 'possibly illegal behavior' and the president believes it is of 'great cause for concern'

That make a lot of sense........Bongino nailed it.
Missing then “found?”
In a week?
In the DC swamp?
Missing. Schmissing.
Don’t important agencies like the FBI (and IRS) have a backup plan if equipment fails, was found to have been compromised, or that data is lost?
It’s impossible to believe the FBI (and the IRS) don’t have normal and regular backup procedures executed on its servers.
Where are the back-ups kept?
If no backups were executed, don’t critical agencies like the FBI (and the IRS) have a disaster recovery location?
Where is that?
IIRC, the OIG also did not answer the question of ‘when’ they became aware of the missing texts, or when the FBI notified them (which may have been different dates).
Of course the ‘deadline’ date for responding to the original request has not yet arrived, and so IMHO it’s not (yet, anyway) the right time to be overly concerned about those omissions.
Great questions.
Great. Now, who still gets FIRED for failing to follow govt rules/regs??
I mean really, the hubris and arrogance and downright stupidity of these people (and probably many more) is amazing. What were they thinking?
Usually the whistleblower................
Since when does no links matter? Vanities abound.
Vanities in Gen Chat...............
They didn’t use a big enough (wiping) cloth.
Kind of a fuzzy response/letter. It did NOT say they recovered ALL messages. So, the DOJ can cherry-pick what they want to turn over and still comply fully. Slimy slimy slimy letter.
....should have used German cloth!.................
Not even the Trump hating media could swallow the “dog ate my homework” BS coming form the FBI.
This country had become a banana republic before Trump.
And that’s an insult to bananas.
I FORMALLY apologize to all bananas :)
A couple days ago it was reported they were found or someone had them (IG?) but later it was said they did not have them. Moderator may have thought this was the previous story and had been debunked.
It it tough to keep up, I get confused...one thing reported, then nope...over and over.
This has details and is not the same story as reported a few days ago. Hopefully it will stay...
Great piece on the status of the investigation. Long but worth the read:

Says this, in part: “I believe that #FisaAbuseMemo, and those 5 months of missing text messages, when they are recovered - and they will be - will show the #SecretSocietySedition group forming their plan to frame @GenFlynn & how they used their media allies to launch that plot.”
They tried very hard to convince us they were not saved to begin with because of some “glitch” in the phones they were using. That was CYA for tons of phones in use by FBI, if believed it would have been handy if other agents were implicated in something.
I am a grandma lady out in the sticks and claim no tech knowledge and even I know these texts, ETC are all over the dang place so could be tracked down even if they aren’t on the phone for whatever reason.
To me the story they have been trying to sell us is worse than the dog ate my homework...it is more like the dog ate all of the students homework every day in every class.
Regarding post 88, http://www.businessinsider.com/lawyers-robert-mueller-hired-for-the-trump-russia-investigation-2017-6/#michael-dreeben-1
The article includes the names of the attorney’s on Mueller’s team, including Aaron Zelinsky and Aaron Zebley. Since Page/Shrek are comparing Shrek to Aaron, I wonder if it is one of these 2 Aaron’s??
From the article linked above, “Zebley is a longtime FBI staffer who spent years in the counterterrorism division as a special agent before becoming the agency’s chief of staff under Mueller’s leadership.
Between FBI stints, Zebley served as assistant US attorney in the national security and terrorism unit. He then moved to the DOJ’s national security division before eventually joining the WilmerHale firm in 2014. He, like Quarles and Rhee, left his job at the firm to work on Mueller’s investigation.”
It must be Zebley because Zelinsky didn’t join the team until June.
Also noticed this, “Quarles, like other lawyers working on the probe, has also faced scrutiny for donating almost $33,000 to politicians in past years. Although most of the donations went to Democrats — including Obama and Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaigns — FEC records show he has also donated small amounts to Republicans such as Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz.”
