Thousands of FBI-issued phones had glitch that failed to save texts

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.

While the focus is on the data lapse during FBI investigations into Russian intervention in the election and the FBI's investigation of Hillary Clinton's email server, this also means the FBI is missing possible data about corruption, sensitive cases and other important matters.

Bull crap!!

It has never been a problem with my Samsung galaxy 5.

How stupid do they think we are?

[Luke21]

The CBS liars talk about Trump and Russian collusion every morning. But now they ask us to believe in the tooth fairy.

[Sequoyah101]

Thought so. Geez. Surely they don’t figure they can get away with this crap?

[SaveFerris]

[Gawd they think we’re dumb.]

Now they just have to repeat the lie often enough and get CNN, MSNBC, ABC, the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington ComPost and CBS to repeat it. Which they will.

[SaveFerris]

Oh darn. Truth.

Liberal heads exploding right now.

[Beach333]

And all they have to do is get FISA approval to get it from the NSA - like they don’t already know! That’s probably what Sessions meant when he said they would explore all avenues. :)

[MAGAthon]

like those voting machine GLITCHES!

CBS...no-one believes a word you say.

[TnTnTn]

You don’t say.....

[SaveFerris]

I certainly hope so.

[SaveFerris]

After 8 years of Obama and his lying, they all have confidence in Hillary’s lying and the lying of their operatives at all levels, across the U.S.A.

Samsung came out today and said that there were no such problems with their phones.

[2CAVTrooper]

The carrier will have records, and the NSA sure as hell will have records.
