EXCLUSIVE: Thousands of FBI cellphones were affected by the technical glitch that the DOJ says prevented five months’ worth of text messages between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page from being stored or uploaded into the bureau’s archive system, federal law enforcement officials tell Fox News.

The missing messages have been at the center of a storm of controversy on Capitol Hill, after the DOJ notified congressional committees that there is a gap in records between Dec. 14, 2016 and May 17, 2017. Strzok and Page are under scrutiny after it was revealed that the former Robert Mueller team members exchanged a series of anti-Trump texts during the presidential campaign.

“Glitch”

Yeah.

[angcat]

LOL

[cmj328]

This makes it worse.

Nobody noticed that tens of thousands of text messages weren’t being stored? Lots of people need to be fired, their clearances revoked, and their pensions zeroed out. Better yet, just disband the FBI altogether. It is an enemy agency of the United States of America.

Wow. What effin liars.

Anyway, those records are maintained by the Carriers

[madison10]

Uhh. Huh. Lying comes so easy to those people.

The vague “federal law enforcement officials” say this.

I could see a vague anonymous source not being named for whistleblowing, but this would be exoneration. As exoneration, why isn’t somebody going on record?

“It’s not a bug, it’s a feature!”

[rdl6989]

My thoughts exactly.

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

That's their defense? We're not corrupt, we're inept!

Way to instill confidence in our top investigative agency.

[Zathras]

And Faux News is stupid enough to believe this.
Faux can barely spell “Cell Phone” let alone how one works.

A wise person would ask a Qualcomm or Apple engineer how this could happen...
Faux asks a DC Lawyer.

The Dems are making Tricky Dicky look like a piker....

If anyone can create an intentional Glitch it is the FBI.

[rdl6989]

The records are probably there in that NSA datacenter in Utah.

FakeNews

According to Vlad at Google.... Glitch in Russian авария, внезапный отказ, неожиданная поломка

[Revel]

And one that goes on for months? Those who work where the data is backed up would have to be in on it.

[robroys woman]

Those guys sure have a lot of glitches. Oddly, they are all convenient as well.
