FBI 'Failed To Preserve' Five Months Of Text Messages Between Anti-Trump FBI Agents (dailycaller.com)

http://dailycaller.com/2018/01/21/fbi-failed-preserve-anti-trump-texts/

The FBI "failed to preserve" five months worth of text messages exchanged between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, the two FBI employees who made pro-Clinton and anti-Trump comments while working on the Clinton email and the Russia collusion investigations.

The disclosure was made Friday in a letter sent by the Justice Department to the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee (HSGAC).

"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," Stephen Boyd, the assistant attorney general for legislative affairs at the Justice Department, wrote to Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, the chairman of HSGAC. (RELATED: FBI Agents Discussed 'Insurance Policy' Against Trump Win)

He said that texts are missing for the period between Dec. 14, 2016 and May 17, 2017.

Boyd attributed the failure 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," Boyd wrote.
Strzok and Page were significant players in the Clinton and Trump investigations. As deputy chief of counterintelligence, Strzok oversaw the Trump investigation when it was opened in July 2016. Weeks earlier, he had wrapped up his work as one of the top investigators on the Clinton email probe.

Both worked on Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation until July 2017.

But Strzok was removed after the Justice Department's inspector general discovered text messages he exchanged with Page, with whom he was having an affair, in which both expressed strong criticism of Trump.

In one text, Strzok called Trump and "idiot." In another, he said "F Trump."

In another more cryptic exchange, Strzok spoke of an "insurance policy" that the FBI sought to take out in case Trump defeated Clinton in the election.

"I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy's office  that there's no way [Trump] gets elected  but I'm afraid we can't take that risk," Strzok wrote to Page on Aug. 15, 2016.

"Andy" was a reference to FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.

"It's like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you're 40," Strzok added. Republicans have questioned what Strzok meant by "insurance policy."

Page left the Mueller team prior to the discovery of the texts.

Someone called Trump an idiot? Stop the presses.
Serious question, what are you trying to say with your post and emoji?

Imagine you have a brother on trial for murder, maybe he did it, maybe he didn't. We just don't know yet. But it is revealed, during the active investigation, that one of the detectives handling the investigation has texted his partners that your brother is "an idiot" and "fuck" him, etc... This wouldn't give you concern?
Did calling him an idiot significantly change the facts?
Ironic that the only facts you guys have so far is Trump calling people names and saying "mean" things.  

I'm sorry your side and your heroes are being exposed as treasonous criminals a little more with each passing day.  Suck it up buttercup, it's gonna be a bumpy ride in 2018 for your team.

MAGA!!!!!

The Dems and MSM are upping the game.

Now accusing Trump of money laundering.

Cornered rats are always dangerous.
If that was the case why hasn't Mueller & Co caught it by now?
It was one of those things SIMPSON talked about in his testimony to the Senate...that he found improprieties in Trump's overseas business dealings.  There was nothing further discussed other than that and "Trump is very protective of his taxes."

They're using up everything Fusion may have found and manipulated because that is all they have at this point.  Anything coming from Fusion, G4S, or Crowdstrike should be immediately questioned.  Anything coming from the left should be considered false at this point.
"Improprieties" is an interesting way to downplay money-laundering.
I'm only speaking to what I read in the Senate testimony which again, doesn't get into the weeds because Simpson doesn't get into the weeds in his testimony except for his service in trying to snag Bill Browder and trash him...which he Judases himself in the House testimony.

The House testimony was different albeit Simpson tried to stick to his story and his lawyer(s) did a good job of catching him but the line of questioning was different.

The problem is Simpson and his entire outfit are at this point just slightly questionable and will become even more questionable when the memo is released.
Decent breakdown here. It will be ignored because buzzfeed or something.

https://www.buzzfeed.com/thomasfrank/secret-money-how-trump-made-millions-selling-condos-to?utm_term=.wweERq3DB#.qk1v9kGBN

Trump condo sales that match Treasury's characteristics of possible money laundering totaled $1.5 billion, BuzzFeed News calculated. They accounted for 21% of the 6,400 Trump condos sold in the US. Those figures include condos that Trump developed as well as condos that others developed in his name under licensing deals that pay Trump a fee or a percentage of sales.

Some of the secretive sales date back more than three decades, long before recent worries that Russians tried to influence Trump by pouring millions of dollars into his businesses.

But a months-long BuzzFeed News examination of every Trump condominium sale in the US shows that such sales surged in the late 2000s and early 2010s, when some Trump businesses were in financial trouble and when Donald Trump Jr. made his now-famous remark about the Trump Organization seeing "a lot of money pouring in from Russia."

Trump condo sales that match Treasury's characteristics of possible money laundering totaled $1.5 billion, BuzzFeed News calculated. They accounted for 21% of the 6,400 Trump condos sold in the US. Those figures include condos that Trump developed as well as condos that others developed in his name under licensing deals that pay Trump a fee or a percentage of sales.

Some of the secretive sales date back more than three decades, long before recent worries that Russians tried to influence Trump by pouring millions of dollars into his businesses.

But a months-long BuzzFeed News examination of every Trump condominium sale in the US shows that such sales surged in the late 2000s and early 2010s, when some Trump businesses were in financial trouble and when Donald Trump Jr. made his now-famous remark about the Trump Organization seeing "a lot of money pouring in from Russia."

When you say "Buzzfeed or something" it actually has meaning, quite a bit.

I wonder how much that little graphic cost Hillary?  Not to mention how much Buzzfeed was paid to put the story up after it was shopped around to others without them wanting to take the risk of publishing it.
I know TL;DR but that isn't the dossier.

I don't think it is worth doing it this way. Releasing the memo and then later releasing proof plays right into the games the media play. The media loves to lie their asses off non stop for a week and then when caught run a single short retraction knowing that most of the public will never hear about the retraction and continue to believe the lie.

Releasing the memo, letting the left lie about it and then releasing proof plays right into their system. By the time proof is released the media won't give it any air time and if they do cover the truth they will bury it somewhere in a deep dark corner of their websites.

The propaganda organs were able to play that game for a very long time.
That time is over.

Should you require proof, ask yourself if you have ever heard the phrase "fake news".
If the propaganda organs were still able to bury events at will, no one would have ever heard that phrase.

Releasing the memo and then releasing the supporting documents serves to discredit every person and every organization which worked to call into question the truth of the memo.
Undermining such persons and organizations is a very important step in the battle.

If Trump follows his usual practice then at the State of the Union Address 7 days from now he will list his accomplishments and goals then at a minimum I believe he'll demand heads on pikes for "treason" (he will use the word) and "secret societies" at the FBI assembling an "insurance policy" against him using a rumors and bullshit file bought in part from Russians by the Hillary campaign, used to lie to the FISA court and then weaponized against him by dishonest media and the biased Mueller probe.  Plus pound lost FBI texts and McCabe and Uranium 1. To the uninformed middle he may appear to overextend with unproven conspiracy theories, and his enemies will go into rabid denial mode for a week or two, then the House or Trump can crack open the FISA memo to prove his claims and make our enemies look stupid and corrupt again.

But Trump is on the offensive now, might be time to switch from hip throws to ground and pound.  Feels like it's time to call for the Mueller probe to end.  I love the idea of declassifying and reading from the FISA memo live, wheeling out a big conspiracy chart with names and photos, do a dramatic Hollywood movie style reveal.  Trump the showman must want to do that bad.

Remains to be seen what other grenades he's willing to pull the pin on.  Fusion GPS turned over their bank records on 1/5, so Trump likely knows whether he can prove who paid for the Steele dossier and which press prints what they're paid to print.  He might just list them.

There'd be an instant shitstorm (even a shake and bake civil war?) if he refers to Seth Rich or casually threw out a reference to a web of Satanism/child abuse/Epstein - I still don't know how much of that to believe myself, whether there's really some kind of organization going on there or just isolated freaks who think they're above the law.  Trump is proving to the public his claims about the first couple layers of corruption, if there is even worse to uncover yet he'll start dropping hints to ease them into the red pill zone.

Well, whatever their timetable was, they need to rethink it and get the memo out ASAP. The Dems have just entered the game with a Memo of their own that refutes the R Memo. And I PROMISE you the D Memo WILL get leaked very shortly.

Whoever releases last will be on defense

FISA Memo Officially Names James Comey, Andrew McCabe & Rod Rosenstein
January 25, 2018 by Joshua Caplan 634 Comments
11.8KShare 477Tweet Email
Former FBI Director James Comey, bureau Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein are officially named in the “shocking” FISA abuse memo, reports the Daily Beast.

The Daily Beast reports:

A controversial Republican memo alleging surveillance abuse specifically names FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein along with former FBI Director James Comey.

Capitol Hill sources on both sides of the aisle say the memo’s release is only a matter of time. And when it comes out, these current and former officials — all GOP bêtes noires — are likely to face even more criticism from the right over their involvement in FBI counterintelligence work.

Republicans, including Trump himself, have spent months attacking McCabe and Comey while special counsel Robert Mueller has been investigating Team Trump’s connections to the Kremlin. Rosenstein put that probe in place—a move Trump has derided as a witch hunt. […]

Rep. Chris Collins, a New York Republican, told The Daily Beast that Nunes has told Republicans his staff spent months putting the memo together.

The Daily Beast‘s report comes amid the Sessions Justice Department calling on House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) to allow the FBI to review the memo to ensure its release will not harm national security.

While on the face on it, the Justice Department’s request is both logical and prudent. However, once in possession of the memo, which is likely to expose the role of top level FBI and Justice Department officials in using the Steele dossier to obtain FISA spy warrants, what do you think bureau officials will do? Wage a fierce PR campaign against it and the Republican lawmakers who demand the memo to be released.

The first leak is confirmation of what Republican lawmakers have been hinting to the press for over a week.

During an appearance on CNN‘s morning show “New Day” Friday, Rep. Chris Stewart (R-UT) told host Chris Cuomo that the “essence” of the “shocking,” FISA abuse memo centers around whether or not the FBI and Justice Department provided false information to the FISA court for the purpose of obtaining spy warrants.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) has hinted to Judge Jeanine Pirro that the memo outlines how the U.S. government may have committed fraud by presenting the courts with “false information,” to obtain FISA warrants.

“You’re aware as a Judge of the way evidence has to be authenticated and presented to a court to get a warrant,” said the Florida Republican.

“Of course, and prosecutors and investigators cannot perpetrate frauds on the court by presenting false information or information they know to be false,” Rep. Gaetz continued.

According to Fox News contributor Sara Carter, the contents of the memo are so “explosive,” that it could end special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe. Additionally, the memo’s release could lead to the prosecution of top FBI and Justice Department officials, contends the reporter.

Simple.  Obama, the Clintons and friends have been trying to set up a nationwide Tammany Hall political machine.  Hillary was the heir apparent.  All the stops were pulled out to make sure she was elected.  Trump was supposed to be the patsy opposition that no one took seriously.  The problem is Hillary was an abysmal candidate who ran a terrible foolhardy and arrogant campaign.  To the worlds amazement, she lost.  Ever since then there has been a low level civil war between the deep state and Trump.  They keep trying to get him under control with their usual shaming and blackmailing schemes, and Trump keeps eluding their grasp like the original gingerbread man.

In the process, the deep state people in their incompetence and arrogance left a clear trail of bread crumbs to their innermost nastiest deeds.  The chickens are coming home to roost.

Don't be disheartened.

You avoided a stone cold bitch of a meteorite named Clinton.  That would have left you without a country.

From what I can see the Clinton brand has taken a few solid torpedoes below the waterline and now that rotten ship is starting to settle to the bottom.

There may be a chance to rein in the excesses of the 9/11 .gov bloat and over-reach, get some fucking bridges fixed (actual bridges, not figurative ones) and perhaps put Americans (real ones) back at the front of the line for work opportunities.

It will be incremental, and nobody will get everything they want.

The Dems will have a real problem putting another candidate in the White House in 2020.

The expression they should fear is "A rising tide lifts all boats."

CNN more to your liking?

McCabe leaves abruptly.

Washington (CNN)FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe has told FBI staff he is stepping down effective Monday -- a move that surprised even those expecting his March retirement, sources tell CNN.
Burning your Lifer Account over this seems counterproductive.

Just Sayin.
