Months of missing text messages between two FBI officials have been located, according a letter obtained by The Hill.
Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz told Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) in a letter that the messages spanning from December 2016 to May 2017, previously though missing due to a technological glitch affecting FBI phones, have been found.
The [Office of the Inspector General] has been investigating this matter, and, this week, succeeded in using forensic tools to recover text messages from FBI devices, the letter read.
[....]
Horowitz wrote in the letter to Johnson and Grassley that his office will provide copies of the recovered texts to the Justice Department, after which leadership can decide how to proceed with distributing the information to Senate committees. Three congressional committees are investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

They said a technical glitch was the reason for the missing texts? I don’t believe them!

But there's a story here as to how these went "missing" in the first place. I'd love to here the explanation. IMO They went "missing" so that they could be altered into something that was not damning when they were later "found".

If you’re an FBI agent on a government phone there’s probably no such thing as “deletion.”

I hope Sessions will be pressured to go after Lois Lerner. Lerner should at the least lose her huge pension.

The question is, what will DOJ do with them?

If the messages were actually recovered from the phones themselves, then it seems to me that they had been simply deleted on the phones. Its a lot less work for the system software to just mark something deleted than to purposely overwrite the storage. Ollie North has got to be laughing at this...

BTW — 50,000 text messages require - nominally - 8 megabytes to store. Even a cheap phone has a gigabyte of solid state “disk” storage — more than 100 times the nominal 8 megabytes.
Other factors could change this calculation, but it’s a little perspective.
