Inspector General discovers that Team Mueller scrubbed Strzok and Page text messages

Robert Mueller’s Special Counsel’s Office (SCO) destroyed a potential treasure trove of evidence about the “insurance policy” Trump-haters Peter Strzok and Lisa Page were implementing against the Trump administration as it prepared to take office and establish itself in its first few months.  Whatever the purported lovebirds texted each other and others during the tumultuous period, the SCO thought was not worth scrutiny by outsiders not on the team.

Given the scandalous earlier texts between the two released by the OIG, this claim is so arrogant that it would be laughable, but for the profound implications of a rogue law enforcement operation covering its tracks, secure in its belief that it will never be prosecuted thanks to Deep State operatives throughout the FBI and DoJ.

We learn of this destruction of evidence only now thanks to the Department of Justice’s Office of Inspector General, headed by Michael Horowitz, who issued a report on its investigation of the “gap” in the text messages of the two from 12/15/16 to 5/17/17.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) initiated this investigation upon being notified of a gap in text message data collection during the period December 15, 2016, through May 17, 2017, from Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) mobile devices assigned to FBI employees Peter Strzok and Lisa Page relevant to a matter being investigated by the OIG's Oversight and Review Division. Specifically, the OIG's Cyber Investigations Office (CYB ER) was asked to attempt recovery of these missing text messages for the referenced period from FBI issued mobile devices issued to Strzok and Page.

Pretty sad what this nation's become

Spot on!

As long as Republicans are in charge, absolutely nothing will be done — ever.

[butlerweave]

Well Mueller is there to clean up for Hillary and not with a cloth

[Vaduz]

Indeed and other high crimes.

Government will do NOTHING. When will people say ENOUGH?

I’VE HAD IT. Fake Congress, Fake Government. Fake Judges.

“This is the winter of our discontent”.

[grumpygresh]

“ZERO FAITH in the DOJ or FBI at ANY LEVEL!”

Absolutely correct! AT ANY LEVEL. These people are evil.

Withholding exculpatory evidence, destroying evidence, obstruction of justice, entrapment, extortion, suborning perjury.

Lock them up in a cell with Bruce, a 300 pound 6’4” paranoid bipolar dude. Perfect cell-mate for Comey.

Mueller’s team is the Cleaning Crew, their job is to get rid of any evidence that implicates the Kenyan from Indonesia and any of his minions, including Hillary.

I said from the beginning this was Mueller's main job and if they could damage or take down Trump, that would be a bonus.

Isn’t destruction of evidence, DEFACTO obstruction of justice?

[Scott from the Left Coast]

There is no one with that authority...Trump does not have control over the Executive Branch...he has no control whatsoever over the lawyers in the Federal government, who are operating as an independent government of their own.

He wanted to be president not a revolutionary. The pace and magnitude of events - and of our enemy - has outflanked his efforts. He is not the answer, as solid and positive a figure as he desperately attempted to be.

“When in the course of human events...”

“Isn’t destruction of evidence, DEFACTO obstruction of justice?”

Only if there exists someone to actually prosecute it.

[gibsonguy]

Has he found any bias yet?

Isn’t destruction of evidence, DEFACTO obstruction of justice

I did 2 decades of field investigations. I was taught not to form an early opinion or bias, but to look at the evidence. talk to folks (witnesses), gather evidence (lab requests, photographs, spreadsheets).

Let the evidence lead the case as ultimately it is not the opinion of the investigators that wins a jury verdict, but solid witness testimony and the introduction of quality exhibits for examination by the judge and jury.

Most cases pled out, those that went to trial were affirmed by the jury.

Never had to turn a bad investigation into a process crime and detest those that resort to that level.

[Ann Archy]

OBSTRUCTION of JUSTICE!!~!! IF we had a non CORRUPT Justice DEpt., instead of a “JUST US” Dept.

[Ann Archy]

Won’t the DIA have a copy of all these?

[NonValueAdded]

REAL OBSTRUCTION!!!

[VTenigma]

Other than Trump there is no one with authority left, they are owned by Obama and Hillary and they have Trump in a box.

[No Socialist]

Gee, does that mean that Trump and all his associates can start scrubbing emails, texts and computer records?

Disgusting corruption.

[Maris Crane]

The cancer that Mueller and Weissman brought to our justice system certainly has spread.
