The Department of Justice has recovered the five months’ worth of missing text messages that were exchanged between the FBI’s very anti-President Donald Trumpers, Peter Strzok and Lisa Page.
This should be very interesting.

Strzok and Page both served for a time on special counsel Robert Mueller’s team of Trump-Russia collusion investigators. Their hatred of Trump is now well known.
And the fact the FBI conveniently “lost” months of their emails that led up to the appointment of Mueller has been a curious sticking point for those already suspicious of the bias of federal investigators.
Fox News has more:
In a letter sent to congressional committees, Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz said his office “succeeded in using forensic tools to recover text messages from FBI devices, including text messages between Mr. Strzok and Ms. Page that were sent or received between December 14, 2016 and May 17, 2017.”
“Our effort to recover any additional text messages is ongoing,” Horowitz said. “We will provide copies of the text messages that we recover from these devices to the Department so that the Department’s leadership can take any management action it deems appropriate.”
Fox News has learned from U.S. government officials that the inspector general recovered the texts by taking possession of “at least four” phones belonging to Strzok and Page.
Fox News’ Sean Hannity had reported Wednesday that the Department of Justice had started to recover some of the texts.The missing messages have been at the center of a storm of controversy on Capitol Hill, after the DOJ notified congressional committees that there is a gap in records between Dec. 14, 2016, and May 17, 2017. Strzok and Page are under scrutiny after it was revealed that the former members of Robert Mueller’s team exchanged a series of anti-Trump texts during the presidential campaign.
The gap in records covered a crucial period, raising suspicion among GOP lawmakers about how those messages disappeared.
More than 50,000 texts were exchanged between Strzok and Page, Attorney General Jeff Sessions revealed Monday. The texts are believed to have taken place during the course of a romantic affair.
Sessions had pledged to figure out how some of their texts went missing.
“We will leave no stone unturned to confirm with certainty why these text messages are not now available to be produced and will use every technology available to determine whether the missing messages are recoverable from another source,” Sessions said in a statement provided to Fox News. “If we are successful, we will update the congressional committees immediately.”
Federal law enforcement officials told Fox News on Wednesday that thousands of FBI cellphones were affected by the technical glitch that apparently prevented those Strzok and Page messages from being stored or uploaded into the bureau’s archive system.Horowitz sent his letter confirming the discovery of texts to Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, who had inquired about the messages.
The five-month stretch of missing messages covers a period of time that includes President Donald Trump’s inauguration, the firings of National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and FBI Director James Comey and the standing-up of former FBI Director Mueller as special counsel to investigate alleged Trump campaign collusion with Russian officials during the 2016 election.
President Trump had weighed in on the missing texts, tweeting this week: “Where are the 50,000 important text messages between FBI lovers Lisa Page and Peter Strzok?”
Republicans, arguing some top officials at the FBI are politically biased against Trump, have seized on the texts.
In one text exchange, Strzok and Page spoke of a “secret society” within the Department of Justice and the FBI the day after Trump’s victory, according to two lawmakers with knowledge of the messages.
“We learned today about information that in the immediate aftermath of [Trump’s] election, that there may have been a secret society of folks within the Department of Justice and the FBI — to include Page and Strzok — that would be working against him,” Rep. John Ratcliffe, R-Texas, said Monday on Fox News.
In another infamous message, Strzok appeared to make reference to an “insurance policy” against a Trump win.
“I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy’s office — that there’s no way he gets elected — but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk. It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40…” he wrote.

The corruption at the top levels of the FBI is unprecedented. Dirty cop Mueller is no exception. Once it can be proved that FBI officials used the fake Russian collusion dossier, payed for by crime boss Hillary Clinton, to get the FISA court order to wiretap Trump heads will roll.

It’s not just “top levels”, it’s the entire Federal Bureau of Investigation. Corrupt thieves, from the very bottom … all of the way to the top. There is not one honest agent, or employee, within that entire organization … Rotten to the core, each and every one of them.

Just like the previous ‘we couldn’t find the 5-month texts’, this episode of ‘recovery’ IS ALSO A LIE
They were caught unprepared, and yet, they couldn’t just hand over the ENTIRE pile of texts because it contains TOO MANY DAMAGING EVIDENCES
They needed to buy time to ‘massage’ the texts, redacting / removing damaging parts while altering some other – hence, FBI presented the ‘lost’ and ‘recover’ dog and pony show

What a completely ignorant, foolish comment- about what I would expect from this individual. Having had the privilege of working with a number of agents, my personal experience leads me to a very different conclusion than this absurd characterization.

I have had the great displeasure of dealing with the FBI, their US Attorney cohorts, and the IRS agents (gold badge) that always seem to be in the mix of that lying, thieving, disreputable and corrupt group. Your personal experiences, more than likely, have been colored by your limited mental capacity. What I stated was based upon numerous personal experiences. It was not some “absurd characterization”. If you had the intellect to handle it, YOU would be absurd. What an abject blithering idiot, you are. I truly pity you.

I believe the 35th statement in the 45 Goals of a Communist takeover of America is: Discredit
and eventually dismantle the FBI.

Yes:
42. Create the impression that violence
and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that
students and special-interest groups should rise up and use [“]united
force[“] to solve economic, political or social problems.

If you go to the 45 Goals of the Communist takeover of America it says: Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

All the stink about the NSA and it collecting everyone’s metadata and recording everyone’s phone calls… I am wondering why there is even a conversation about it being lost. Nothing is ever lost they say.
