Two weeks after Page departed Mueller’s team on July 15, 2017, her government-issued iPhone was also wiped and restored to factory settings and had not been reissued to another person within the agency. No one within the special counsel’s office or the Justice Management Divisions of the agency had any records as to who cleared all the data from the iPhone.
How can they wipe her phone after she left on 7-15-17 when she was still there as of 9-20-17(see prior link). I have no doubt the IG Report is fairly accurate but they can’t change news stories in archives. When were Page and Strzok added and when were they removed. My guess is after the news broke and many were talking about it on FR.
1) They have it all
2) Can't leave evidence in an ongoing investigation laying around for others to leak
You don't think they were wiped clean by mistake, do you?
