FBI loses five months worth of text messages

Thanks for the thread count update.

Anything to say about the OP?

I've said it in two of the other threads already, though I've noticed that all of them follow the same script. So just pretend that whatever I said there I said here as well.

:shrug: I don't see all these threads that address the 'missing texts'. Oh well.

I went back to 1/17 and there are 2 threads started by Waddy about the subject. I don't see your comments.

You know what, I don't care anymore. I hate playing games.
 
It is rather a far reach to believe these particular texts would disappear accidently considering all that was going on during that time period. They say the Inspector General is already on it and Sessions is too. Just another thing to add to the growing list of questionable actions of Obama's FBI.

I am shocked, just shocked that people at the FBI might have political opinions!

What a scandal!

You really think Stzrok was demoted to human resources for having a " political opinion " ?

Was deleting the texts a crime?

1. Those were government devices. The texts were government property. Deleting them violates The Records Act.

2. If the deletions covered up criminal activity, they destroyed evidence.

That's an interesting point about the texts being government property. I haven't researched this story that deeply. If they were used on personal devices that would negate your point. but, I don't know the details.

and I would say that they would have to be under investigation to be guilty of obstruction, wouldn't they? If they weren't under investigation that's no obstruction of justice, since justice was not being pursued against them.

If they were created on personal devices, the FBI would have never tried to retain them and would have simply said, "Those texts were created on personal devices. We never try to retain those".

It's a crime to cover up a crime. Destroying evidence is covering up a crime.

What is the crime they wre covering up?

Who knows? Espionage? Treason? Fraud? Perjury?

Since those text messages were destroyed, we'll probably never know.

So, you have no evidence that they were actually covering up a crime, other than a hope and a wish.

It definitely appears to be as indeed as the five months of 'missing' texts resumed again immediately when Mueller was appointed special counsel. They were there at that time, of course, but then mysteriously disappeared. And those five months were during the most critical point that the investigation is supposed to investigate.

Doesn't meet the smell test does it.

They are blaming Samsung.

I never said I had evidence that they covered up a crime. You asked me to explain how deleting the emails could be illegal. I explained.

Those texts weren't "lost" on "accident", though. And they weren't "lost" because they contained innocent chit-chat.

Time we use the liberals' battle cry:

“The nature of the evidence is irrelevant; it's the seriousness of the charge that matters.” :lol:

These were FBI provided devices, on a system that was supposed to retain and preserve text messages. Supposedly, the devices were set up improperly.

This reminds me of the IRS issue, where a mysterious issue plagued hard drives for the key people involved.
