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.

How many millennials do you think work there?
I will make a wild guess... Those messages will discuss assassination of President Trump or his family.
Apparently they were really never missing. They thought they could treat the public as mushrooms and feed them BS.
Another gift from Admiral Mike Rogers to President Trump and his people?
New speak: missing = not missing
The bottom line here is the FBI lied to Congress again.
And there are still dozens, if not hundreds of FBI agents and officials obstructing justice.
Once this mess is cleaned up and these people prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, the FBI MUST be completely dismantled.
Utterly destroyed.
And ALL previous agents made ineligible for employment in any future agencies (several smaller agencies in lieu of FBI). I don’t care if they were one of the good guys.
They had the opportunity to go public and expose their fellow corrupt agents and officials. They chose not to.
More like Obama is Soviet.
Yes, either somebody LIED or somebody DESTROYED EVIDENCE ... jail!
And how about the FBI claim that the messages were lost?
That’s a danger giving it first to the DOJ wolves inside the hen house.
Is this a chance for the bad actors at DOJ to label these texts as too sensitive to release?
I don’t think so once the House memo goes public.
Yep - looks like someone believed that Sessions was going to get to the bottom of it and punted in hopes of stopping the investigative process....
I’d love to see if they discussed assassination - that would be conspiracy to assassinate the President...which even allies of the Clintons can’t skate on.
Praying!
These people have a visceral hatred for Trump. They want him removed from office by any means necessary. There might have been talk of going beyond mere impeachment.
This will be very interesting. The SS might want to investigate.
It was a glitch silly.
