However, according to the Daily Caller’s Chuck Ross, the FBI claimed it the reportedly missing text messages to Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz on August 10th, 2017.
Strzok, who then served as the FBI’s No. 2 counterintelligence official, conducted many of the biggest interviews in the investigation, including with Clinton and her top aides, Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills.
“After finding a number of politically-oriented text messages between Page and Strzok, the OIG sought from the FBI all text messages between Strzok and Page from their FBI-issued phones through November 30, 2016, which covered the entire period of the Clinton e-mail server investigation,” Horowitz wrote to Grassley and Johnson on Wednesday.
The FBI handed over those messages on July 20, 2017. After reviewing those exchanges, Horowitz expanded the investigation to include all of the text messages exchanged between Strzok and Page from Nov. 30, 2016 to July 28, 2017.
Horowitz’s office received those messages on Aug. 10.

OIG Horowitz may end up with his face on on the $100 dollar bill after this is all over!
For reference, here’s what the story linked on Drudge says:
“Investigators in both House and Senate were stunned late Friday when, receiving a batch of newly-released texts between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, they also received notice from the bureau that the FBI “failed to preserve” Strzok-Page messages from December 14, 2016 through May 17, 2017.”
Dirty, rotten, scoundrels.
Drain the Swamp. And pave it over.
FBI = American Stasi
Anybody know who at the FBI said that the text messages are missing?
Would destruction of evidence be a crime if it was done by the FBI, or is it only a crime if commoners do it?
PING!!!
I couldn’t find a specific person, but let’s just hope that whether this was accidental or a deliberate attempt to destroy evidence, it doesn’t make any difference.
OIG Horowitz’ team has gone through 1.2 million documents and it was their release of the Stzok-Page texts to begin with, so it’s hard to imagine after seeing what they saw, they didn’t ask for all of them last summer.
How obvious is it the missing texts are from the time of Comey’s firing right up to Mueller’s appointment.
They probably brought in the same dumb schmuck who poorly fabricated the BHO birth cert and told him “we don’t need these anymore - get rid of them..”..”and don’t answer the phone, what ever you do...”
“Drain the Swamp. And pave it over.”
From the Dem’s perspective Joni Mitchell could be a Nostradamus type prophet.
As Qanon has said “THESE PEOPLE ARE STUPID”
Just who told you that Chuck???
Obstruction of justice. Failure to do duty as a Member of the court. They’d be in a lot of hurt.
YOW! Make sure you READ THIS!:
One, the nsa has them. Trump should order them the produce them by end of day Monday.
Two, this lawless FBI crap will never end until the guilty people are sent to prison and lose pensions.
Horowitz is a time wasting swamper. He’ll spend a year and half writing his “report” and will drop it right before Congress bugs out for the summer. And that will be that. Book it.
OIG Horowitz is a fixer so that preps won’t go to gaol.
