The FBI has informed [the Department of Justice] that many FBI-provided Samsung 5 mobile devices did not capture or store text messages due to misconfiguration issues related to rollouts, provisioning, and software upgrades that conflicted with the FBIs collection capabilities.
When asked Monday whether the FBI failed to preserve text message records on similar Samsung 5 devices belonging to any other FBI officials during that time period, the FBI told Fox News they had no comment.
That no-statement statement confirms the "glitch" was a deliberate erasure of the email evidence.
