Fox News’ Sean Hannity said Wednesday night on “Hannity” that the Justice Department has started recovering some of the missing texts between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, citing DOJ sources.
Federal law enforcement officials had notified congressional committees that a technical glitch affected thousands of FBI cellphones between Dec. 14, 2016 and May 17, 2017. This meant that 5 months’ worth of texts would be missing from Strzok and Page, both of whom are under scrutiny after it was revealed that the former members of special counsel Robert Mueller’s team exchanged anti-Trump texts during the 2016 presidential campaign.
Hannity said sources at the DOJ told him they have begun to recover some of the texts from that time period. Specific content from those texts has not been released.
The missing messages have caused problems for the Justice Department inspector general’s office.
Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, have sent a letter to Inspector General Michael Horowitz noting that the IG’s office said on Dec. 13 that it had all the messages between Strzok and Page between Nov. 30, 2016, and July 28, 2017.
Lawmakers later learned of the five-month gap.
ht/ all too much
Imagine that. Lisa went all the way down with Peter to recover those.
Don’t hold your breath
4 more days of ‘darkness’ and then the shit hits the fan. 😉
The ‘darkness’ started on 1/19/18. It ends on the 29th, and on the 30th —— BOOM !!!!!!
Hannity. The MMA fighter. The expert marksman. I know small children that could kick this guys ass. I’m not sure he’s doing our side any good.
It seems we’ve been here before. IRS lost lots of emails, etc. due to “crashes”. Hillary lost tens of thousands of emails due to “wiping”. FBI lost thousands of texts due to “glitches”. They throw lame excuses and see if we accept them. The “lost” can be found if they wanted to.
Haven’t watched him in 12 years I agree Brad. He looks 60
JS,
LOL, I’m sixty, but I’m bad ass.
Hannity talks too fucking much,
On and on and on and on and on and on. Shut to fuck up for a while.
Tommy
Exactly. If you are that bad ass you don’t need to promote it constantly. We are a FOX family but we started turning Hannity off several years ago.
He’s still yacking. WHF?
Still yacking.
Hannity has always reminded me of the kids I didn’t like in high school.
My understanding, from what I heard just yesterday, is that no one even knows where the phones are. Maybe they aren’t needed if the texts were stored on a server…
And yes, Hannity is tiresome. He’s like a hammer that doesn’t stop pounding a nail until there’s nothing left to pound.
De-faked it.
The DOJ and FBI need time to edit/tweak the lost data just right so it may be awhile.
Has ANY Republican investigation ever resulted in any real results?
Bill Clinton got impeached, that was the only one I can think of in 40 years.
