According to Attorney General Jeff Sessions, 50,000 text messages were exchanged between Peter Strzok and his mistress Lisa Page. These 50,000 text messages do not include the ‘missing’ texts.
Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-TX) said after reviewing the new text messages he believes there may have been a “secret society” of folks within the DOJ and FBI working against Trump.

IRS claims it has LOST two years' worth of emails from embattled former official Lois Lerner as tea party targeting scandal heats up again
- More than a year after receiving a subpoena, the IRS says there's a 28-month period where Lerner's emails to and from people outside the IRS no longer exist
- The agency blames a computer crash for the loss
- Lois Lerner, formerly the director of the IRS subagency that awards tax exemptions to nonprofit groups, is accused of playing political favorites
- She allegedly led a conspiracy to cripple conservative groups by slow-walking or denying their applications for tax-exempt status, which is crucial for fundraising
- Conservatives hit the roof on Friday, with one group drawing a comparison with the famous 18 minutes of missing audio on Watergate-era tapes of Richard Nixon's daily Oval Office meetings

BleachBit creator, ex-FBI experts question 'loss' of Peter Strzok texts
Computer forensics experts are questioning the supposed loss of five months of text messages between two FBI officials ...
Some experts say the messages, sent during a turbulent period between Dec. 14, 2016, to May 17, 2017, may not be gone forever. ...
“The loss of these text messages is an unbelievable coincidence – literally,” a House Intelligence Committee source told the Washington Examiner.
A one-paragraph official explanation offers little clarity on what happened, and the FBI declined to comment on the physical whereabouts of the couple's government-issued Samsung Galaxy S5 devices or whether additional forensic recovery steps are being taken.
Some experts say, however, that it may be possible to recover the missing communications.
“A sharp digital forensic expert may still be able to recover them,” said Andrew Ziem, creator of BleachBit, the software that Hillary Clinton subordinates used to clear information from her private server. ...
it depends whether the messages were accidentally or intentionally erased, as well as other factors. ...
“If the users were using the Google cloud as a backup, messages could be found there. If the phone had been synced with the FBI desktop computer, or even a home computer, the messages could also be located on those devices. If the old phones are available, forensic exams of those phones could also recover the messages,” Vilfer said. “The particular FBI employees of interest in this case had texted that they would be using an alternative messaging system, iMessage. This is on the Apple platform and would come with similar sources of possible backups—iCloud, their personal iPhone or Macs etc. ...
“As soon as they knew these two individuals were of interest, I would expect they would have ‘imaged’ the phones,” Jones said. ...
“If the individuals made backups of their phones locally, they could be sitting on one of their home computers,” he added. “Even if those backups got deleted, the data doesn’t go away immediately… it really depends on how carefully they deleted those files.”

Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said in a radio interview that the FBI’s top agent on the Trump-Russia investigation, Peter Strzok, sent what Johnson called a "jaw-dropping" text message last year that suggests he saw no evidence of Trump campaign collusion.
As first reported by the Daily Caller's Chuck Ross, in an interview with WISN-Milwaukee radio host Jay Weber, Johnson read aloud a May 19, 2017 text that Strzok sent to Lisa Page, an FBI lawyer and his mistress.
As Weber summarized, "Sen Ron Johnson tells me he's discovered a text from Peter Strzok 2 days after the Mueller investigation in which he questions whether he wants to be part of it because he believes 'there's nothing there'. No collusion."
The Strozk text verbatim on joining the Mueller investigation: May 19th, 2017- 'You and I both know the odds are nothing. If I thought it was likely, I'd be there no question. I hesitate in part because of my gut sense and concern that there's no big there there.'Here is the "jawdropping" text message that Strzok wrote just two days after Mueller was named special counsel for the Russia Investigation:

"You and I both know the odds are nothing. If I thought it was likely, I’d be there no question. I hesitate in part because of my gut sense and concern that there’s no big there there."Sen Ron Johnson drops a bombshell on The Jay Weber ShowJohnson said that the text referred to the Mueller investigation, which had kicked off two days earlier. Strzok joined that team, but was removed in July after the Justice Department’s inspector general discovered his anti-Trump text exchanges with Page.
#TheJayWeberShow https://t.co/vcD0EqtqNy
— News/Talk 1130 WISN (@newstalk1130) January 23, 2018
As the FBI’s deputy counterintelligence chief, Strzok had been picked in July 2016 to oversee the investigation into possible Trump campaign collusion with the Russian government; in other words the text message came almost one year after the anti-Trump FBI agent had already done preliminary work on whether there was any Trump collusion. Prior to that, he was a top investigator on the Clinton email inquiry.
“I think that’s kind of jaw-dropping,” said Johnson, a Republican, said of the Strzok text.
“In other words, Peter Strzok, who was the FBI deputy assistant director of the counterintelligence division, the man who had a plan to do something because he just couldn’t abide Donald Trump being president, is saying that his gut sense is that there’s no big there there when it comes to the Mueller special counsel investigation,” Johnson explained.

Johnson, Grassley Ask DOJ IG Horowitz about Missing FBI Text Messages
Tuesday, January 23, 2018
WASHINGTON – U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, and Sen. Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, wrote a letter to the Justice Department Office of Inspector General Tuesday regarding the revelation that the FBI did not preserve text messages between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page for the time period between Dec. 14, 2016, and May 17, 2017.
In a previous letter to Sens Johnson and Grassley, IG Michael Horowitz stated his office obtained text messages from Nov. 30, 2016, through July 28, 2017 without disclosing the missing texts. The Senators’ letter is asking the DOJ Inspector General (1) to explain why he did not previously disclose FBI’s failure to provide the missing texts, and (2) to inform the committees about the steps the IG is taking to investigate the circumstances surrounding the missing texts.
The letter can be found here and below:January 23, 2018
The Honorable Michael E. Horowitz
Inspector General
U.S. Department of Justice
950 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20530-0001
Dear Inspector General Horowitz:
The Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and the Committee on the Judiciary are conducting oversight of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the FBI’s investigation of classified information on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email server. We write to request information about the loss of FBI records connected to this investigation.
On January 12, 2017, the Department of Justice Office of Inspector General (DOJ OIG) announced an investigation of “allegations that Department or FBI policies or procedures were not followed in connection with, or in actions leading up to or related to, the FBI Director’s public announcement on July 5, 2016, and the Director’s letters to Congress on October 28 and November 6, 2016 and that certain underlying investigative decisions were based on improper considerations.”
On December 6, 2017, we wrote to you concerning the DOJ OIG discovery of text messages between FBI employees Lisa Page and Peter Strzok. Your response, dated December 13, 2017, suggested that DOJ OIG received all text messages between Ms. Page and Mr. Strzok from November 30, 2016 to July 28, 2017. You wrote:
In gathering evidence for the OIG’s ongoing 2016 election review, we requested, consistent with standard practice, that the FBI produce text messages from the FBI-issued phones of certain FBI employees involved in the Clinton email investigation based on search terms we provided. After finding a number of politically-oriented text messages between Page and Strzok, the OIG sought from the FBI all text messages between Strzok and Page from their FBI-issued phones through November 30, 2016, which covered the entire period of the Clinton e-mail server investigation. The FBI produced these text messages on July 20, 2017. Following our review of those text messages, the OIG expanded our request to the FBI to include all text messages between Strzok and Page from November 30, 2016, through the date of the document request, which was July 28, 2017. The OIG received these additional messages on August 10, 2017.
On January 19, 2018, the Department of Justice produced to Congress 384 pages of text messages exchanged between Ms. Page and Mr. Strzok. According to a cover letter accompanying the documents, the FBI did not preserve text messages between Ms. Page and Mr. Strzok between approximately December 14, 2016 and May 17, 2017. The cover letter explained:
The Department wants to bring to your attention that the FBI’s technical system for retaining text messages sent and received on FBI mobile devices failed to preserve text messages for Mr. Strzok and Ms. Page from December 14, 2016 to approximately to May 17, 2017. The FBI has informed [the Department of Justice] that many FBI-provided Samsung 5 mobile devices did not capture or store text messages due to misconfiguration issues related to rollouts, provisioning, and software upgrades that conflicted with the FBI’s collection capabilities. The result was that data that should have been automatically collected and retained for long-term storage and retrieval was not collected.
These statements—that DOJ OIG requested “all text messages between Strzok and Page from November 30, 2016, [to] July 28, 2017,” received them on August 10, 2017, and that the FBI “failed to preserve text messages from Mr. Strzok and Ms. Page from December 14, 2016, to approximately May 17, 2017”—need to be reconciled. During a phone call on January 22, 2018, DOJ OIG staff indicated that the FBI did not produce text messages between Mr. Strzok and Ms. Page from December 14, 2016, to May 17, 2017.
Accordingly, to understand fully the scope of text messages in the possession of the DOJ OIG, we respectfully request that you please provide the following information and material:
1. Is it accurate that the FBI failed to provide to DOJ OIG text messages between Mr. Strzok and Ms. Page from December 14, 2016, to May 17, 2017 due to technical errors that prevented the texts from being archived in the FBI’s records preservation system?
a. Has the FBI also been unable to provide the texts from any other source, such as the physical phones, carrier records, or any other source?
b. Has the OIG requested texts of other FBI personnel during the same time period? If so, has the FBI also been unable to produce texts of others as well or is the missing text problem limited to these two employees?
c. On what date did the OIG request access to messages for that time period from the FBI?
d. Did the FBI notify the OIG of the missing text messages between Mr. Strzok and Ms. Page? If so, on what date? If not, how and on what date did the OIG discover that messages were missing?
e. Did the DOJ OIG notify the office of the Deputy Attorney General of the missing text messages between Mr. Strzok and Ms. Page? If so, on what date?
f. Please explain why the DOJ OIG did not notify Congress of the missing text messages.
2. Please produce all communications between DOJ OIG, DOJ, and the FBI referring or relating to the missing text messages.
3. The Attorney General said in a statement yesterday that your office was already undertaking a review of the circumstances that led to the FBI’s failure to preserve and provide texts to the OIG. On what date did that review begin, and what is the scope and methodology of that OIG review?
4. Has the DOJ OIG been successful in retrieving any of the missing text messages from any other source?
5. Does the OIG have the necessary authorities, resources, and capabilities to obtain the missing texts from another source? If not, please identify any gaps in your office’s ability to do so.
6. In the most recent batch of texts, Mr. Strzok and Ms. Page frequently indicate that they are also communicating about work-related matters via apparently personal accounts on Apple’s encrypted iMessage texting system, as well as through Gmail. Does the OIG have the necessary authorities, resources, and capabilities to obtain any federal records that may reside in those personal accounts? If not, please explain any gaps in your ability to do so.
7. Has the OIG asked Mr. Strzok or Ms. Page to voluntarily provide any information from their personal accounts? If so, have they been cooperative? If the OIG has not asked, please explain why not.
8. Has the DOJ OIG interviewed Mr. Strzok or Ms. Page?
9. Has the DOJ OIG interviewed employees of the FBI’s Information Technology office regarding the loss of text messages?
Please respond to this letter as soon as possible but no later than January 29, 2018.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you have any questions about this request, please contact Kyle Brosnan or Brian Downey of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee staff at (202) 224-4751 or Josh Flynn-Brown of the Senate Judiciary Committee staff at (202) 224-5225.

"Why Are They Still Here?": FBI Agents Wonder Why Anti-Trump Clinton Operatives Still Have A Job
According to a report from investigative journalist Sara Carter, agents within the FBI have told her that they question how anti-Trump operatives such as Strzok and Page even still have a job after all the shocking revelations surrounding their work to protect Clinton and hurt Trump.
Real Clear Politics reports:
Carter pointed out that previously revealed Strzok-Page texts alluded to an “insurance policy” that could be used if Trump won the presidency.One has to wonder if they simply know too much and cannot be fully fired over fears that they may spill the beans on the entire conspiracy which many now believe to be worse than Watergate.
“Their worst nightmare has come true, the president is elected. That is something they did not expect. FBI sources said from the very beginning that they didn’t want Trump to make it into office.”
“I’m concerned that they’re still working at the FBI,” Carter said. “I’m hearing from my sources, too. FBI agents are saying, ‘Why are they still there?'”
“The Lovebirds. They were having an affair, they were both married, they’re working counter-intelligence. That’s enough for blackmail,” Carter said. “Now they’re sending text messages on an unsecured phone. Believe me, the Germans, the Russians, the Israelis, everybody is going into those phones and trying to suck out all the information they have.”
Carter also touched on the laughable claim that the missing text messages (from a key point when those involved would actually be carrying out key parts of the conspiracy) were lost due to some sort of cellphone glitch.
About the FBI’s claim that the Samsung phones are responsible for the 50,000 additional missing text messages, Carter says: “I can tell you this, a lot of people within the DOJ, possibly even the inspector general himself, a lot of people within these committees do not buy this.“

FBI Agents' Text Messages: They Knew Ahead of Time Clinton Would Not Be Indicted
The text messages between the two agents appear to indicate that — on July 1, 2016, four days after the meeting and four days before Comey’s recommendation against an indictment in the “matter” — they both already knew what the outcome would be. Referring to the tarmac meeting, Stzrok wrote, “Timing looks like hell.” Page replied, “Yeah, that is awful timing,” adding, “It's a real profile in couragw [sic], since she [Lynch] knows no charges will be brought.”

FBI Lovers Texted Every Four Minutes During Those Missing Five Months
"If eight hours of sleep are assumed each day, for example, the figure goes from a message every 4.32 minutes to one every 2.88 minutes."
Every 3 minutes for five months continuous.
"Let it not be said that we did nothing." - Dr. Ron Paul. "Stand up for what you believe in, even if you are standing alone." - Sophie Magdalena Scholl
"War is the health of the State." - Randolph Bourne "Freedom is the answer. ... Now, what's the question?" - Ernie Hancock.
Newly released text messages between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page reveal that the agency's top brass was considering appointing former U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald as a special counsel in the Hillary Clinton email investigation.
The idea is pitched in a March, 2016 exchange between Strzok and Page - relatively early on in their investigation into Hillary Clinton's mishandling of classified information. Of note, Attorney General Loretta Lynch or one of her deputies would have had to make the ultimate decision to appoint a special prosecutor to look into the "matter."
"Thought of the perfect person [FBI Director James Comey] can bounce this off of?" Strzok wrote to Page in a March 18, 2016 text. "Pat....You got to give me credit if we go with him....And delay briefing him on until I can get back and do it, Late next week or later."
"We talked about him last night, not for this, but how great he is," Page responded.
"I could work with him again....And damn we'd get sh*t DONE," Strzok wrote.
judiciary.senate.gov
Strzok noted that Fitzgerald was brought in by Comey as a special counsel in the investigation into who leaked the identity of CIA agent Valerie Plame.
Appointed in 2001 by President George W. Bush, Fitzgerald was the longest-serving U.S. Attorney in Chicago history - and has led several high profile federal investigations and prosecutions.
In a follow-up text exchange on May 13, 2016, Page asks Strzok "Hey forgot to ask if you mentioned the whole special counsel thing to andy?" (referring to current Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe).
No special prosecutor was selected for the Clinton email investigation despite calls by Republicans to do so as early as February, 2016.
Instead, former FBI Director James Comey had originally determined Clinton's conduct fit the legally consequential charge of "gross negligence" which Peter Strzok later downgraded to "extremely careless" - which is not a legal term of art. The agency ultimately recommended that the Department of Justice not press charges.
In a Thursday letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley asked if whether the FBI had approached the DOJ to appoint a special counsel. "If not, why not?" wrote Grassley, who also demanded all written communications on the subject.
judiciary.senate.gov
Politics as usual...
The newly released batch of text messages also reveal that the pair of anti-Trump FBI agents were concerned over reprisal from Hillary Clinton, should they aggressively pursue her.
"One more thing: she might be our next president," Page wrote, adding "The last thing you need us going in there loaded for bear. You think she's going to remember or care that it was more doj than fbi?"
"Agreed," Strzok replied.

compiled from multiple sources as a public service - more to come
Rybicki, as it turns out, was involved at some level in the crafting of Hillary Clinton's exoneration -
which downgraded Hillary Clinton's mishandling of classified information and use of a private server
from the legally consequential phrase "grossly negligent" to "extremely careless" - not a legal term of art.
FBI Director Christopher Wray announced Tuesday that his chief of staff, James E. Rybicki,
is leaving the bureau for a job in the corporate sector.
Earlier this month, (January 11) Rybicki was grilled by lawmakers on the
House Oversight and Government Reform and Judiciary committees over the way
the FBI handled the probe into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server as Secretary of State.

FBI “Small Group” Key Figure, James Rybicki, Quits – Here Comes The Lois Lerner Maneuver…
January 23, 2018 https://theconservativetreehouse.com...rner-manuever/
James Rybicki [Hi, Jim] was former FBI Director James Comey’s chief-of-staff and retained that position
under current FBI Director Christopher Wray (more on that later).
Rybicki was the key figure in circulating and coordinating the “Clinton Exoneration Statement” read by Director Comey.
For the Clinton investigation, Rybicki was the hub collecting and dispatching communication as the ‘talking points’ were
constructed, edited, refined and ultimately finalized.
Additionally, Rybicki was the communication hub surrounding the Clinton-Lynch ‘Tarmac Meeting’ discussion points that led
to public statements therein by the FBI and ultimately Loretta Lynch’s public statements about distancing herself from the investigation.
Lerner, Paz say they fear physical harm from enraged public, want IRS testimony sealed permanently
November 19, 2017 https://www.washingtontimes.com/news...sealed-perman/
Ms. Lerner and Holly Paz, her deputy at the IRS, filed documents in court Thursday saying tapes and transcripts of depositions they gave in a court case this year must remain sealed in perpetuity, or else they could spur an enraged public to retaliate.
Perhaps no other IRS official is more intimately associated with the tax agency's growing scandal than Lois Lerner,
director of the IRS's Exempt Organizations Division. Since she admitted the IRS harassed hundreds of conservative
and Tea Party groups for over two years, Lerner has been criticized for a number of untrtuths.
Former IRS Lois G. Lerner told a federal court last week that members of her family, including “young children,”
face death threats and a real risk of physical harm if her explanation of the tea party targeting scandal becomes public.
Peter Strzok and his lover Page exchanged this message in February 2016:Page: One more thing: she might be our next president. The last thing you need us going in there loaded for bear. You think she’s going to remember or care that it was more doj than fbi?
Strzok: Agreed. I called Bill and relayed what we discussed. He agrees. I will email you and [redacted] same.

Not only did they support Hillary, they feared her. They know that if Hillary were to fire and prosecute half of the FBI, the media would cheer it as a great thing.
With Trump, if he even talks to someone, the hysterical cries of collusion by the congressional-media-government complex is deafening.

DOJ Withholding Over 85% Of Strzok-Page FBI Texts From Congressional Investigators
Out of 50,000 texts between anti-Trump FBI investigators Peter Strzok and Lisa Page - not including an unknown number of recently found texts, the DOJ has submitted a mere 7,000 to Congressional investigators - just 14%, reports the Washington Examiner's Byron York.
The majority of the withheld messages were deemed "pesonal" or withheld for other reasons, according to York.
Also notable, according to York, is that the 50,000 Strzok-Page texts only include messages sent and received on FBI-issued Samsung phones - despite several text messages which make clear that the two agents also discussed their politically tainted investigations over their personal iPhones using iMessage.
For investigators, those are particularly intriguing texts – what was so sensitive that they couldn't discuss on their work phones? – but the number of those texts is unknown. And of course, they have not been turned over to Congress. -Washington ExaminerIn a January 19 letter from Assistant Attorney General Stephen Boyd to Congressional investigators, the DOJ said that they would not be providing "purely personal" text messages.
Of the 50k, DOJ has turned over less than 15% to Congress. That's all Congress is gonna get from the 50k. Majority deemed personal, or withheld for other reasons. 2/3 https://t.co/7El2KZIePT"The department is not providing text messages that were purely personal in nature," Boyd wrote. "Furthermore, the department has redacted from some work-related text messages portions that were purely personal. The department's aim in withholding purely personal text messages and redacting personal portions of work-related text messages was primarily to facilitate the committee's access to potentially relevant text messages without having to cull through large quantities of material unrelated to either the investigation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's use of a personal email server or the investigation into Russian efforts to interfere with the 2016 presidential election."

Lastly, York notes that Boyd says special counsel Robert Mueller made redactions to the texts "in a few instances," which were "related to the structure, operation, and substance" of the Special Counsel's investigation because it is ongoing. The DOJ told Congress that they would "work with" them to further describe or even reveal redacted information in a "closed setting."
