wow! Ex-Informant Reveals FBI Lied To Congressional Investigators About “Missing” Strzok-Page Texts
Gateway Pundit ^ | 01/25/2018 | Joshua Caplan

Another day, another scandal compliments of the FBI. A former bureau informant revealed to Fox News contributor Sara Carter that forensic experts can easily retrieve deleted text messages from Samsung 5 phones. How does the ex-informant know? Forensic experts located lost texts from his own phone. Another source, expressing bewilderment at the FBI’s explanation as to why they could not hand over the texts, questioned the bureau’s wisdom to mislead Congressional investigators.

A former FBI special agent, who worked extensively on counterterrorism related cases, stated they were “dumbfounded” by the FBI’s original excuse that the text messages were irretrievable.

“Even though the servers ‘lost’ the text messages of Strzok they would still be on his actual device, even if he deleted them,” stated the former FBI special agent, who asked to speak on background due to the sensitivity of the case. “That’s how we catch bad guys, we forensically search their phones. Nothing disappears off the device, nothing… unless they take a hammer to it or microwave it. The question is, the FBI knows this, so why did the bureau say they couldn’t retrieve them – why did they mislead Congress.”

[…] A former informant for the FBI, who spoke to this reporter, said the FBI was able to do the same with his Samsung 5 telephone registered to Verizon and he questioned why the FBI told the committees the information was not retrievable.

“Their forensic experts who worked on my Samsung 5, which was wiped clean, to retrieve the information they needed,” said the former FBI informant, who asked not to be named. This reporter viewed the documents for the informant’s phone and the permission they gave to the FBI to retrieve the text messages from the phone.

Democrats are Democrats first.

Being an American is way down on their list.

Remember that about your Democrat friends and neighbors and relatives.

Have you ever tried to fire a Government employee? I have. It ain't pretty. The tendency is to not even consider it an option after too many futile attempts.

It's extremely frustrating to watch inept employees remain in place.

'ceptin' a whole agency of 'em.

Yep. And that's the danger. If you allow one dirty cop, especially in leadership, the cancer spreads. The good cops become an endangered species.

I bet the other 998 FBI agents are happy to get their texts back.

The “1000 agents were affected” was basically fake news to dilute the Strzok/Page texts.

Speaking of informants;
What ever happened to that secret witness that was a double agent paid by Russians but working for US intelligence on the uranium deal?

I haven't heard much about him or U1 or anything from his attorney Victoria Toensing for several weeks.

However, a day or so ago, a caller into Hannity's radio show asked & Hannity said the investigation was definitely still ongoing.

It might even be "BOOM"-worthy if something actually happens to them.

Dan Bongino was explaining this on his podcast. A government employee can be compelled to testify and can be held criminally and civilly responsible for malfeasance committed while employed. A former employee cannot be held to the same level of culpability. It’s an administrative thing.

Lying to the FBI is a crime.

The FBI is allowed to lie.

The FBI lied to the FBI.

Illogical... Illogical...

If the FBI lied, it is not a crime. But if it lied to the FBI, it is a crime. But it is not a crime for the FBI to lie. But lying to the FBI is a crime...

It does not compute...

If we don’t see some prison time. . .all this investigation and spending of the tax payers’ hard earned money is for naught. I see locals going to jail and prison for far less.

I have asked this question before and no one replied:

Who has arrest authority over the F BI high ecelon?

If there is potential treason evidence, those should be taken into custody to prevent: destruction of evidence, obstruction and continued acts against the USA and constitution.

Why are these people still employed at FBI and being paid by taxpayer money?? They would have been thrown out, pay stopped at any private firm when this was first discovered,…

Well, let’s see, they’re employed by the government??? Aren’t they???

Their reaction to Trump is EXACTLY like adolescents mid-party seeing Dad unexpectedly turning into the driveway.
