NSA are the white hats. and they have the texts and they are coming out.
Then they should send them to Wikileaks, asap...........
IIRC, the Rosenstein letter to Mueller did not order him to start a new investigation starting May 17, 2016. He was to continue the already started investigation which was going on well before May 17 and during the period of the missing texts and probably the fisa abuse.
We know, then, that the entire 1st stage of the investigation was corrupt and that this 2nd stage was built on it.
Therefore, the entire investigation is the fruit of the poisoned tree.
Spoliation evidence is just about the worst thing a trial lawyer wants to be accused of.
It’s almost an automatic lose I think. Or dismissal. Would be nice to know of some cases where the prosecutor spoliated evidence and went on to win the case anyway.
Of course the NSA still has these Text messages, but NSA data is barred from use in Domestic law enforcement/court proceedings.
So the Government can subpoena the records from the commercial carrier, but that will take time, allowing Mueller more time for mischief. Also, the commercial carrier might only have metadata, not content.
DESTRUCTION OF EVIDENCE IS A CRIME.....................
“It wouldn’t be a court which would dismiss the special counsel.”
It would be the guy who appointed the Special Counsel - Rod Rosenstein. If he gets fired over the new four page memo, his replacement can make Mueller dance like an organ grinder’s monkey, or dismiss him on day one.
The emails are either retained and preserved or they are not.
If they are not, that is a violation of federal law.
Bttt.

Devin Nunes should call in sick with a cold today, then release all the evidence he can on Tuesday.
Turnabout is fair play
These five months worth of emails between key players in this "let's get Trump" scheme, have not been lost.
There is a server somewhere that has them on it.
Now for sure there is someone "obstructing justice" and it ain't our man Trump.
I've worked in industry and for both federal and state institutions and you don't just "lose" this stuff, and it isn't just "backups". There are very strict legal requirements for retention that are codified by institutional Counsel, and you don't treat them as suggestions or recommendations. There is an infuriating tendency for the ignorant - I'm talking about you, Hillary - to dismiss this sort of thing as a "glitch" and pretend that it doesn't matter, that it happens all the time. Five months of data? Nobody did any QA on software "upgrades" for five months? Nobody tested records retention for five months?
Sorry, not buying it. This isn't some Mom and Pop auto parts store, this is the FBI. Whether these text messages were processed entirely internally is unknown, but generally a cell phone carrier is involved, who has its own set of records retention policies. Whether the NSA collects this is also unknown, which is one difference between this and Hillary's email scandal. But it's very obviously official business, and if it's being conducted on private personal cell phones or on private personal servers, it's not legal.

Quite True !
The "lost information" should be provided at 'Discovery'.
It was just such an issue, among others, that resulted in dismissal of Federal charges against the Bundy family.
Since the texts are 'lost', the FBI would have had time to 'find' them.
Could this be one of the false flag incidents that 'Q' spoke of a few days ago ?
lol. You think the NSA isn't the deepest part of the deep state?
Or, do you think they really care about terrorism?
Unless your name is Hillary Clinton
Depends on who's in charge of the NSA. If it's a deep state Obama holdover, they'll likely lose their copies too.
They all have standard retention periods of at least two years for such items. In some cases they hold them longer.
All it takes is a court order to retrieve them.
Logs of all phone calls are also retained by the phone companies for varying periods of time. There are supposedly records preserved of long-distance calls that date back to the early 1960's or late 1950's.
Most likely the NSA already has a complete collection (illegally) of the "missing" text messages.
