Inspector General Michael Horowitz told lawmakers in a letter Thursday that messages sent between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page from December 2016 to May 2017 were recovered using forensic tools after the Justice Department initially said they were among many emails on FBI-issued mobile devices that were lost due to a technical problem.
In gathering evidence for the OIG's ongoing 2016 election review, we requested, consistent with standard practice, that the FBI produce text messages from the FBI-issued phones of certain FBI employees involved in the Clinton email investigation based on search terms we provided. After finding a number of politically-oriented text messages between Page and Strzok, the OIG sought from the FBI all text messages between Strzok and Page from their FBI-issued phones through November 30, 2016, which covered the entire period of the Clinton e-mail server investigation. The FBI produced these text messages on July 20, 2017. Following our review of those text messages, the OIG expanded our request to the FBI to include all text messages between Strzok and Page from November 30, 2016, through the date of the document request, which was July 28, 2017. The OIG received these additional messages on August 10, 2017.
DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz wrote in the report that his office initiated this investigation into the lost text messages “upon being notified of a gap in text message data collection during the period December 15, 2016 through May 17, 2017.
Those phones were wiped clean by muellers team and the IG got no texts from them

"The OIG forensically recovered thousands of text messages from FBI mobile devices issued to Strzok and Page through its multiple extraction efforts. Approximately 9,311 text messages were recovered from Strzok's S5 [Samsung]," the report states. "Approximately 10,760 text messages were recovered from Page's S5."
And muellers team intentionally deleted texts they knew the IG would want to look at

In conclusion, you are wrong, as has been shown to you over and over

Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz says his office has recovered some missing FBI texts that received considerable attention because they came from two FBI employees who briefly worked on the Russia influence investigation.
"Congress has some of them, but thousands appear to be missing — not just the messages from Page and Strzok, who both worked for a time on the Russia investigation, but also other people.
"The inspector general is telling Congress that it seems to have recovered some of those missing texts involving Page and Strzok. And the FBI says there's an innocent explanation. It was a technical glitch when the bureau was moving from one version of a cellphone to another."

SO? The phone records and data are on the FBI server. They recovered all the missing texts and more.

Except they are not. There is missing data. This is why you do not destroy the original unless you are stupid or trying to cover something up.

Just because the text messages in question have been deleted from the phones, that doesn't mean that there is no record of them elsewhere. They should still exist on the server, and perhaps in some IG file, somewhere too.

You can call you phone company and get a transcript of all text messages.
These conversations are saved somewhere.
Seems like the FBI has a horrible track record of preserving emails.
They dont have a recently deleted section?
FBI issued phones should have their info saved at a Separate location.

Considering the fact that congress has had and been selectively leaking texts i dont think the phones are the only place those texts where held.
there is ZERO evidence of any crime or ‘collusion’ whatsoever on the part of the President. That’s gotta hurt.

Shhhhh. Nothing like common sense is allowed in these threads.
Stop it right now.
and the other thing is this is the conservative treehouse and everything they print should be taken with a barrel of salt.
They probably got the whole thing wrong.
