Earlier this week, the FBI reported to Congress that text messages between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page for the most critical part of the FBI involvement in possible anti-Trump scheming had somehow gone missing. This was extremely troubling especially because a few months ago, the FBI told Congress that it had turned over all of the text messages. Suddenly, the FBI mentioned that five months worth no longer existed.
Well that was a few days ago. Since then, two senators wrote to the Inspector General of the Department of Justice and others to demand information about what had happened to these missing texts and also to request that attempts be undertaken to recover the texts. Today, the Inspector General wrote back to the senators to tell them that by using "forensic methods", the IG had been able to recover texts between the two conspirators during that period.
Think about this. The group with the most sophisticated forensic staff in the country is the FBI. Nevertheless, these super sleuths somehow couldn't seem to recover the missing text messages. On the other hand, the Inspector General's staff who are not well versed in recovery of lost information took a day or two and managed to "recover" the missing text messages. Does anyone doubt that the FBI didn't want to find these texts? This was an attempted coverup, plain and simple.
