Where are the 50,000 important text messages between FBI lovers Lisa Page and Peter Strzok? Blaming Samsung!
10:54 PM - 23 Jan 2018
As pointed out by another poster - its unlikely they were using the stock Android text message app like you or I might. More likely using a proprietary messaging app - that might not have worked properly once the Samsung update was applied. Very common for OS updates to break apps.
I doubt the backup was done from an app on the phone. More likely these messages would be backed up from whatever central messaging server stores them - harvested in something approaching real time I would assume.
No the app is the front end on the device. It backs up to the backend which is some server.
I can do the same using Microsoft Exchange and the Enterprise Mobility Suite. Data on the device is periodically gathered by an agent on the phone (the app), sent to the EMS server, and stored there.
It’s starting to sound like a rabbit hole....
“Is there anything that definitively says there are 50,000 messages between these two “
You’re correct. I shouldn’t have bothered to make a post.
Doesn’t matter, iOS or Samsung-Google, the outcome is the same.
the OEMs release updates to the carriers, and the carriers push the Android security updates, NOT SAMSUNG. Apple DOES however push the OS updates which cannot be stopped by the Bureau, only delayed a bit if the devices are in Apple DEP.
Samsung and the carriers are on the 30/90 day update cycle with Google, and SO ARE THE APP providers - they all get the code early.
It’s total BS, trust me. Even if the update killed a first-party app (one the bureau wrote) that DOES NOT affect the data from previously exchanged messages. It only disables the app, and *IF* that happened, the app authors will fix it in a matter of days.
Samsung devices have security code in them called ‘Knox’, and Knox updates have not broken ANY apps in the Google Play store in a LONG time. The QC cycle is too mature now.
BEsides, if a Samsung update had broken the Bureau’s messaging capability it would be in the news.
But all this is MOOT. It’s total BS. The data are in the cloud. Already. Period.
Fire them all. Them put them in prison.
No. It’s. Not. Not anymore do updates break commercial apps. IT’s extremely rare.
ONLY if the app is a first-party app (written by the Bureau or their contractor) would a Samsung update have a CHANCE of breaking the app. The industry is beyond that now, and besides, an app issue does not affect previously transmitted data.
IT’s all a distraction, a red herring. The data ARE there. PERIOD.
That’s just what I was thinking. A contractor app - not receiving timely patches with OS updates. Or a phone receiving OS updates that it shouldn’t have. These apps are probably installed in-house, and not maintained/updated by the Google Play store.
Agree on the data. Unlikely it doesn’t exist.
The AirWatch management software the FBI uses controls app updates on Android.
The likely also have a test environment for updates.
ANY large enterprise with first party apps does this, especially for mission-critical apps.
Again, it’s all a red herring. PREVIOUSLY transmitted data are not affected by any CURRENT app issue.

I’d rather believe that they deliberately deleted the texts if you regard the dates in question.
No, I was earlier pointing out that it wasn’t an iPhone. Relax! Obviously that’s not the point. On all else, I agree with you.
I’m just narrowing the conversation down to what the FBI is reporting:
The update “broke” their app the day after the election, and no one knew it was broke, and no one fixed it until the day Mueller was appointed.
When one hears that plainly put, the total ridiculousness of the narrative lies exposed.
The data was deleted to prevent Congressional or third party observation and review. If someone doesn’t pay for that, there is no justice, especially in light of the fact that Imperial Mueller now moves on to his Torquemada-like examination and interview of the President—in order to “prove”—obstruction of justice!
We all should be plenty pissed off that this charade even continues! Pull the damn plug on Mueller.
What does BLM say? No justice, no peace?
