I call bs—if the phones don’t save them, what about the carrier? Phone companies have retention periods, too.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
So they say. They are just trying to lay the foundation for an innocent explanation.

The messages are stored by the service provider on their servers.
I used to work with law enforcement relations for one of these major service providers. It’s not up to the phone to store anything and you can’t control what their servers store. The only thing that doesn’t get stored is the actual audio from phone calls. The rest of it is stored, for at least seven years. All it takes to retrieve it is a subpoena.
Again, it doesn’t depend on the phone. It depends on the company transmitting the message and storing it as it’s transmitted.
They must be very desperate.

Sorry, but records retention is a legal requirement, and these were FBI-issued phones. If it didn’t get done, and it didn’t even get checked on for five months, then somebody goes to jail.

Yep. See my post 14.
BTW, one of the folks I worked with testified in the Zimmerman case. :)

Funny how CBS suddenly comes to the rescue.
it really appears that the mainstream media have become America’s Izvestia for the US Deep State’s Politburo

I have a government issued Samsung phone. I wonder if all of my texts are missing?

Then examine every single phone.
Start with the main players.
And work out from there.
The ones who deleted their texts should be further investigated.
And go to the NSA to get them.
Deleted texts from any phone should be a red flag.
