Remember when Lois Lerner's hard drive was "scratched" and then darned if the tape backup didn't go missing too?
And what luck! This was from the crucial December 2016 through May 2017 timeframe.
Comes now the word that the FBI was unable to preserve some text messages between two agents who have been accused of anti-Trump bias, including one who previously served on special counsel Robert Mueller’s team, according to a letter from the bureau to lawmakers.
The FBI said it did not have a record of messages exchanged over a six-month period between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page because many of its issued mobile phones had problems related to “rollouts, provisioning, and software upgrades.”
“The result was that data that should have been automatically collected and retained for long-term storage and retrieval was not collected,” the FBI explained in the letter.
