Oh how very interesting..what else happened on May 17th?
The end date of the missing Strzok-Page texts is also significant. That’s because May 17 is the day when Mueller was appointed to take over the FBI’s probe of possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian government.
“The loss of records from this period is concerning,” Johnson wrote in a letter sent Saturday to FBI Director Christopher Wray.

There are records of the texts, backups (and partial backups) of the records and no such agency copies of same. This is the period when they were monitoring President-elect & inaugurated POTUS BEFORE and leading up to the time Comey was fired. It’s been said that Trump sent a special team to HQ to clear out Comey’s office while Comey was on the plane to LA. That team is said to include Trump’s lifetime security guy and a representative of the Marine Corps. Note this report is what FBI *told* DOJ - this whole thing was under the watchful eye of the IG & stinks. I presume the whole thing can be assembled by Rogers, who has himself now resigned, as well as the backups / partial backups, etc.. Wasn’t the story in Watergate ... it was the cover-up, not the crime. Here there is a gross cover-up of even grosser crimes.
