Five months of text messages between Trump investigators are missing from right after the elections, when a special council was appointed to the Russia case. The “missing” evidence is obstructing a congressional probe and destroying evidence.

Newly released texts between ex-Mueller team members suggest they knew outcome of Clinton email probe in advance
By Samuel Chamberlain | FOX News, January 22, 2018:
The Justice Department has given various congressional committees nearly 400 pages of additional text messages between two FBI officials who were removed from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian officials.
One of the newly discovered messages, lawmakers said, appeared to indicate that Peter Strzok and Lisa Page knew that charges would not be filed against Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton as a result of the investigation into her email server — before Clinton was interviewed by the bureau.
Strzok and Page were pulled off the probe last summer after it emerged that some of their messages to each other included anti-Trump content. Strzok, an FBI counterintelligence agent, was reassigned to the Bureau’s human resources division after the discovery of the exchanges with Page, with whom he was having an affair.
According to a Saturday letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray from Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, the Justice Department provided 384 pages of messages to lawmakers on Friday. However, Johnson noted that additional texts sent between Dec. 14, 2016 and May 17 of last year were not preserved by the FBI’s system.
One exchange between Strzok and Page, dated July 1, 2016, referenced then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s decision to accept the FBI’s conclusion in the Clinton investigation. Lynch’s announcement came days after it was revealed that the attorney general and former President Bill Clinton had an impromptu meeting aboard her plane in Phoenix.“Timing looks like hell,” Strzok texted Page.
“Yeah, that is awful timing,” Page agreed. In a later message, she added: “It’s a real profile in couragw [sic], since she knows no charges will be brought.”
Four days later, then-FBI Director James Comey announced that no charges would be brought against Clinton, even though — as he put it — her actions in regard to the private server were “extremely careless.”
Another exchange from the day before referenced a change to Comey’s statement closing out the investigation. While an earlier draft of the statement said Clinton and President Barack Obama had an email exchange while Clinton was “on the territory” of a hostile adversary, the reference to Obama at first was changed to “senior government official” and then omitted entirely in the final version.
‘F TRUMP’: TEXTS BETWEEN EX-MUELLER TEAM MEMBERS EMERGE, CALLING TRUMP ‘LOATHSOME HUMAN,’ ‘AN IDIOT’
Last month, the Justice Department released hundreds of text messages that the two had traded before becoming part of the Mueller investigation. Many focused on their observations of the 2016 election and included discussions of the Clinton investigation. Republican lawmakers have contended the communication reveals the FBI and the Mueller team to be politically tainted and biased against Trump — assertions Wray has flatly rejected.
In Johnson’s letter to Wray, he asked whether the FBI had any records of communications between Strzok and Page during that five-month window and whether the FBI had searched their non-FBI phones for additional messages. He also asks for the “scope and scale” of any other records from the Clinton investigation that have been lost.
A source on the committees receiving the texts told Fox News it was “outrageous” that the FBI had not previously indicated that the five-month gap in the messages existed. The source said it was incumbent on the FBI to prove that the missing texts do not constitute “obstruction” of congressional oversight or “destruction of evidence.”
The source added that congressional investigators want to know if the Justice Department’s inspector general has copies of the messages.

“However, Johnson noted that additional texts sent between Dec. 14, 2016
and May 17 of last year were not preserved by the FBI’s system…..FBI claims technical glitch.” Isn’t it interesting that, only the MOST important emails go missing. Here with Strzok-Page and also with Hillary. Gee, they must be using some really bad computers in our gov. Maybe they are Russian made.

Aren’t they on the FBI payroll? Or, is it the other way around?

FBI Agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page (extramarital affair/ mistress) discussed an “insurance policy” should Trump get elected… with Andy McCabe ( the FBI deputy director who is married to a Democratic Virginia State Senate candidate who received $700,000 from Hillary and her pals ) .. when Strzok was directing the investigation of Clinton’s classified information sent over her private, not secure, email server.
Why were high-level officials at the FBI discussing an “insurance plan” in case of Trump’s victory?

Agreed. I have a couple of questions as well:
1. Weren’t these phones they used government issued? And,
2. They traded over 50,000 messages in a two year period, an average of 69 per day. When did they find time to earn their paychecks?

I worked for the Federal Govt. when I was with the FDIC…….the job was a JOKE…I could with ease– if I so chose to– come in late, go home VERY EARLY and take excessively long lunch hours if the mood struck me –all with the approval of my boss. I was paid quite well BUT I was BORED to death; so I resigned and moved on….I know others thought I was insane to have left that position but I could no longer stand the boredom. So I’m quite sure that the two individuals cited in the article did NOTHING EVERY DAY but message each other.

It must be a real racket. I worked in state government in TX and they kept track of our case actions to be sure we pulled our weight. Evidently, the FBI is like a government paving project, one working and five looking on.

Don’t forget the two, in the airconditioned cab, supervising the onlookers.

When are the American people going to say “ENOUGH!”? Clearly, there are 2 governments: one for the public to see and another that subverts the American people’s will.
It’s time to do some serious housecleaning. I used to think that elections and being vocal about our collective displeasure would be enough to motivate our elected officials. I’m now thinking that it is going to take a second American Revolution, “French” style.

You can talk until hell turns blue and never convince me that the “insurance policy” mentioned in those texts between these two was not code for assassination.
