Republican lawmakers were outraged Saturday, when they were notified by the Justice Department that text messages exchanged during a five-month period between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page had not been ‘preserved’ by the FBI.
“After reviewing the voluminous records on the FBI’s servers, which included over 50,000 texts, the Inspector General discovered the FBI’s system failed to retain text messages for approximately 5 months between December 14, 2017 to May 17, 2017.
“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. If we are successful, we will update the congressional committees immediately.
“I have spoken to the Inspector General and a review is already underway to ascertain what occurred and to determine if these records can be recovered in any other way. If any wrongdoing were to be found to have caused this gap, appropriate legal disciplinary action measures will be taken.”
More than 50,000 texts were exchanged between two FBI officials who have come under fire for exchanging anti-Trump messages during the 2016 election, Attorney General Jeff Sessions revealed Monday.

CNN just stated that only the "Conspiracy crowd" is interested in the Memo, Missing Texts, Dossier, etc..
I love compliments like that when they're from talking heads on the Anti-American terrorist network.

The NSA still scoops up everything.
These texts will be found, just like HRC's missing 33,000 emails.
There is going to be hell to pay, the treachery from the Dems is not going to go unpunished.

Members of the FBI and Justice Department’s top brass at their Washington D.C.quarters and other field offices are now using burner phones to stay under the radar of federal investigators and lawmakers, according to FBI insiders.
The shocking revelations come on the heels of news that the FBI deleted thousands of text messages between anti-Trump FBI agents before investigators could review their content.
While that is disturbing on one level, FBI and DOJ hierarchy employing the telecom habits of drug cartel bosses reaches a new low for the once-heralded federal law enforcement agency and the DOJ. And breaks federal laws as well.
“The IG is aware of this,” one FBI insider said. “They have been up on these guys for a long time.”
