DOJ Destroyed Missing Strzok/Page Text Messages Before The IG Could Review Them
federalist ^ | 12/13/2018 | Bre Payton

Posted on 12/13/2018 9:10:43 PM PST by bitt

The Department of Justice wiped text messages between former FBI employees Lisa Page and Peter Strozk from their cell phones before the Office of the Inspector General could review them, a new report from the DOJ watchdog reveals.

Page and Strozk’s involvement with special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation has been heavily scrutinized after it was revealed they had sent numerous anti-Trump text messages back and forth to one another. Mueller has been tasked with looking into whether or not Donald Trump and his campaign associates coordinated with Russian officials to steal the 2016 election away from Hillary Clinton.

The 11-page report reveals that almost a month after Strzok was removed from Mueller’s team, his government-issued iPhone was wiped clean and restored to factory settings by another individual working in Mueller’s office. The special counsel’s Record’s Officer told investigators that “she determined it did not contain records that needed to be retained.”

“She noted in her records log about Strzok’s phone: ‘No substantive texts, notes or reminders,'” the report states.

Apple still has them. The texts are like emails, they are off the phone but are in the cloud. Not erasable.

The DOJ appears to be very self-serving orientated organization!

In 1996, Comey acted as deputy special counsel to the Senate Whitewater Committee.[33] He also was the lead prosecutor in the case concerning the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia.[34] ---Fedora

Comey was involved with Khobar Towers?

So was some guy... Sestak?

Bill Clinton White House suppressed evidence of Iran’s terrorism The Washington Times ^ | October 5, 2015 | John Solomon Bill Clinton’s administration gathered enough evidence to send a top-secret communique accusing Iran of facilitating the deadly 1996 Khobar Towers terrorist bombing, but suppressed that information from the American public and some elements of U.S. intelligence for fear it would lead to an outcry for reprisal, according to documents and interviews. Before Mr. Clinton left office, the intelligence pointing toward Iran’s involvement in the terror attack in Saudi Arabia that killed 19 U.S. servicemen and wounded hundreds was deemed both extensive and “credible,” memos show.

But rest assured, whatever the carriers keep or discard, there is that gigantic server farm in Bluffdale, Utah, which has the capacity to store all voice traffic, not to mention all texts, metadata plus data. What could go wrong?

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

so, how does this location square up with “hammer” huber’s 10-20?

James Brien Comey...met his future wife, Patrice.
In June 1983, after his first year of law school at the University of Chicago, he was visiting Patrice in Sierra Leone, where she was in the Peace Corps...

Wipe the crook who made this decision. Just as Clinton’s crony should’ve been executed when he stole and destroyed compromising documents from the National Archives.

I worked in law enforcement relations for one of the big cell companies. The texts are stored on the company servers. If the DOJ destroyed anything, what they destroyed was copies of the texts acquired via a subpoena. The carrier certainly didn’t destroy them.

i.e. they still exist.

I knew this was the case.

Mueller was to identify and destroy all traces of impropriety that the Dems used to destroy Trump. Too bad they don’t remember rule number one about the internet: The internet is forever.
