> “Texts missing” story was a lie in order to SCRUB the phones of any incriminating data and THEN say they found them?
Anything is possible :-) It was reported that it was the IG who ‘found’ them, not the FBI or DOJ.
However: from Fox News (who broke the story 2 days ago)
“Senior Department of Justice officials told Fox News they are “taking steps” to possibly recover the texts from the appropriate cellphone carriers. The same officials told Fox News they are also making every effort to track down the physical cellphones in question so they could be subject to a forensic review.”
I’m thinking “Senior DOJ officials” may be Rosenstein, who also doesn’t want anyone to see the ‘Memos’. I don’t think the IG is part of that cabal. (but I could be wrong)
And... if someone wanted to ‘scrub’ them, they missed a few good ones that extend the story even more.
Reading the ‘lost’ ones...
... I’d like to know who Bill, Jim, Laufman, Dina, Eric, Carlin, Dana and George are :-) We KNOW who Andy is. lol....
Bill is Bill Priestap, Stroke’s boss.
