And it is not "evidence" it is a void. A missing item is not evidence, it is missing. The term "evidence" pre-supposes the conclusion that a crime has been committed.
What is a record?
Records are defined in various statutes, including the Federal Records Act and the Freedom of Information Act. The definition that follows is from the Federal Records Act that governs agencies' records management responsibilities.
Records include all books, papers, maps, photographs, machine-readable materials, or other documentary materials, regardless of physical form or characteristics, made or received by an agency of the United States Government under Federal law or in connection with the transaction of public business and preserved or appropriate for preservation by that agency or its legitimate successor as evidence of the organization, functions, policies, decisions, procedures, operations, or other activities of the Government or because of the informational value of the data in them (44 U.S.C. 3301).
how was it the DOJ when the FBI says it was Samsung and the glitches have nothing to do with the DOJ?

They should check Devin Nunez, he probably forgot to return the files he was using to create his memo..
All jokes aside, are you not in the least bit disturbed at the FBI "losing" this evidence?
Just to clarify, this was DOJ that lost this data.
It is Sessions own Assistant Attorney General making excuses.

In any other crime are the text messages of the investigating officers relevant???
If I murder someone, is it a get out of jail free card if the investigation can not provide their personal text messages to the defense?!?!
Of course not..
If I break into a house do I get to call the investigating officers private text messages as evidence????
What if, while I am under arrest for either crime, I claim that it is all a set up.. these guys are out to get me????
Do I then have a right to the investigating officers personal text messages???
Of course not..

No. They said it was a hardware issue. I don't see how that's so surprising. I lost data changing tablets.
What do you have to say now that they've been retrieved?

They only asked for the texts up to Nov 30 2016. No one was withholding anything and these texts were not evidence of anything. It was just another chew toy for the right.
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.”

It was over two years. Why does this matter?
