Thousands of FBI-issued Samsung 5 phones had technical issues that resulted in a failure to store text messages over a period of a year between June 2016 and May 2017, CBS News' Paula Reid reports, citing a senior Justice Department official.
The news comes after the DOJ confirmed it is missing texts between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, the former lawyers on special counsel Robert Mueller's team who came under fire for texts critical of President Trump. The DOJ has been unable to retrieve their texts over a five-month period after the election.

You be the judge.
I call shenanigans. My kids have had a series of those phones ... no problem at all wiht texting.
My dog ate my cellphone!
Samsung said that there is no such glitch, but they will help recover the missing texts.
Suuuure - and nobody noticed this “glitch” until it came time to provide data that will hurt the deep state folks in the FBI/DOJ.....
