Now it’s suddenly newsworthy....
Gawd they think we’re dumb.
it wasn’t a glitch, it was a feature!!!!!.............
I call bs—if the phones don’t save them, what about the carrier? Phone companies have retention periods, too.
So they say. They are just trying to lay the foundation for an innocent explanation.
Sounds like the difference between IMAP and POP3 to me...

That’s some great security apparatus they had.
.
Any Text that was sent is stored on at least two servers.
Liars gotta lie.
And I have a bridge in Brooklyn I’d like to sell you.
The messages are stored by the service provider on their servers.
I used to work with law enforcement relations for one of these major service providers. It’s not up to the phone to store anything and you can’t control what their servers store. The only thing that doesn’t get stored is the actual audio from phone calls. The rest of it is stored, for at least seven years. All it takes to retrieve it is a subpoena.
Again, it doesn’t depend on the phone. It depends on the company transmitting the message and storing it as it’s transmitted.
They must be very desperate.
Sorry, but records retention is a legal requirement, and these were FBI-issued phones. If it didn’t get done, and it didn’t even get checked on for five months, then somebody goes to jail.
I have a government issued Samsung phone. I wonder if all of my texts are missing?
Then examine every single phone.
Start with the main players.
And work out from there.
The ones who deleted their texts should be further investigated.
And go to the NSA to get them.
Deleted texts from any phone should be a red flag.
They’re doing worse than playing dirty. The President should take the 5th and say nothing to Mueller and his tens of thousands of partners. The Judicial has been incrementally establishing itself as the single branch of government and subverting the other two branches for decades. The U.S.A. is nearly a police state.
translation: Thousands of FBI agents were in on the conspiracy.
so their phones worked for a while and then didn’t work. Welp, I’m certain the phone company has all these texts. Nothing is lost for reals these days. If not the gubmint can always use NarusInsight...the successor to Carnivore. I’m sure those texts exist out there.
B.S. !!
a senior justice official would not know the first step at retrieving these text messages.
The congress needs to call the head of FBI IT and their Mobil Device Management IT Staff and ask them about to explain where these messages are. I guarantee you the IT Staff will produce these messages in two seconds flat.
Also if the text messages are missing? How do they know the number is 50 thousand? How do they know such a definitive number if they are gone?
I have an IT background and experience in MDM. This is such a load of crap it's laughable.
