Now who (other than someone with something to hide) would believe that two people who were disciplined over anti-Trump bias did not have anything related to that discipline within their text messages? Why would you not think to preserve this?
This seems to be more than just a casual error made by someone being sloppy. Deleting everything, restoring factory settings, and reissuing those phones seems a little blatant in terms of gross incompetence (or gross obstruction).
Either way, it seems clear that Special Counsel and the FBI never believed that these internal allegations would ever see the light of day. The constant drip, drip, drip, drip of unusual, suspicious, and foolish behavior by those involved in this investigation makes it seem more and more likely that we might find ourselves watching another Special Counsel investigating investigators.

Conservatism has been hijacked by Trump.
The lies and inaccurate comments and changing policies that have kept the country safe from major wars and is replacing it with an alliance with the Russians and the Chinese. Despite the sanctions, the political alliances are being ignored by people like you .
There is much more evidence of misconduct by the Mueller "team" and its selection than there was of any Trump involvement of Russian collusion.
Would like to see that they really did look at Hillary, the dossier, FISA warrants, unmaskings by the Obama administration etc. On the surface that does show attempts to influence an election with foreign interference.
Actually if a second special counsel is not named the results of the Mueller probe at this point will lack any hint of non-partisanship. And I guess a second special counsel to be fair should consist of all polar opposites of the Mueller team.
It was standard procedure asshole.
Nothing about Special Counsel is "standard procedure" Roger. Certainly when an employee is reassigned due to a disciplinary issue, you need to have documentation and explanations.
Unless you believe "obstruction" is standard procedure.
It was standard procedure asshole.

CH posits another pile of steaming horseshit that at best is fake news......so sad how our toilet bowl cleaner feels it is imperative to make shit up to prove a bunch of nonsense....
Apparently both phones were wiped by a person working on the Mueller team, after Strzok and Page were removed from the team (over concerns regarding their anti-Trump bias).
Apparently, trump has eaten what little is left of your cognitive reasoning.....so sad...
In your opinion

You're decent into the Deep State conspiracy hole has reached bottom.
The telephone was returned to factory settings.
You actually believe that Muller or a member of the team, intentionally removed the records of text messages with the intent to get Donald Trump.

The odds against a second investigation are in the dumpster.
WASHINGTON — Six in 10 Americans say President Donald Trump has been untruthful about the investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential campaign, while half of the country says the investigation has given them doubts about Trump’s presidency, according to a new national NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
The survey, conducted a month after the results of November’s midterm elections, also finds more Americans want congressional Democrats — rather than Trump or congressional Republicans — to take the lead role in setting policy for the country.

* Strzok texts he'll "stop Trump"
* Strzok texts that NYT is upset about WaPo scoop.
* Strzok texts Page re "insurance policy"
* Mueller then smashes their phones with a virtual hammer.
Go on how you're concerned about corruption, obstruction of justice, and collusion.

it's obvious to all but the galactically dishonest that what the FBI did to strzok and page's smartphones was intentional and obstruction of justice. the destruction of those texts was in direct violation of DOJ policy.
DOJ Policy and Guidance regarding Electronic Messaging Records Retention
The OIG reviewed DOJ Policy Statement 0801.04, approved September 21, 2016, which establishes DOJ retention policy for email and other types of electronic messaging, to include text messages.
Policy 0801.04 states that electronic messages related to criminal or civil investigations sent or received by DOJ employees engaged in those investigations must be retained in accordance with the retention requirements
applicable to the investigation and component specific policies on retention of those messages.

The SCO was unable to locate the iPhone previously assigned to Page, which had been returned to DOJ's
Justice Management Division (JMD). Subsequently, in early September 2018, JMD informed the OIG that it
had located the iPhone that had been assigned to Page. The OIG took custody of the device. Page's iPhone had
been reset to factory settings on July 31, 2017, but had not been reissued to a new user. (The Office of the
Deputy Attorney General told the OJG that the Department routinely resets mobile devices to factory settings
when the device is returned from a user to enable that device to be issued to another user in the future.) The
OJG forensic review of the phone determined that it did not contain any data related to Page's use of the device.
SCO's Records Otlicer stated that she did not receive the phone following Page's departure from the $CO and
therefore she did not review Page's iPhone for records that would possibly need to be retained prior to the
phone having been reset. As noted on page 395 of the OIG's June 2018 report entitled, "A Review of Various
Actions by the Fedel'a! Bureau of Investigation and Department of Justice in Advance of the 2016 Election,"
https://www.iustice.gov/file/l07199J/download, the Department, unlike the FBI, does not have an automated
system that seeks to retain text messages, and the service provider only retains such messages for 5 to 7 days.

liberal asshats like bandy ree have been quoted in places like salon for the amusement and adoration of hacks like you. you swarmed to it like flies to shit.
Officials from the Trump administration reportedly contacted a Yale University psychiatrist last year because President Trump was "scaring" them.
Dr. Bandy Lee told Salon and the New York Daily News on Thursday that two White House officials flagged Trump's behavior last October.
"[They] said that Trump was 'scaring' them, that he was 'unraveling,'" Lee, who wrote the book "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President,” told Salon.
"Not wishing to confuse the role I chose, as an educator of the public, and a potential treatment role, I referred them to the local emergency room without inquiring much further," Lee added to Salon.
Lee also wrote an op-ed declaring that Trump is a "dangerous leader."

All we can go on is your behavior here.
Given your total level of confusion on almost every thread (for instance arguing about things irrelevant to the thread), your insistence on C&Ping, and your inability to understand simple logic... it appears obvious you are not playing with a full deck.
The President is mentally ill and many people around him know it.

Seriously Scott you have reversed many of the things that you used to stand for since Reagan on the day Donald Trump was elected President.
Hmmm... doubtful.
My opinions have not change, largely because I am not bound to agree or disagree with a Party or person. I have never had, currently do not, and will never have problems disagreeing with every politician.
You, on the other hand are simply following your Party. Obama and Clinton (and presumably you) used to campaign on marriage being between a man and a women, and they did so only ten years ago. Now that the Party has changed, so have you.
Certainly the idea of Politicians in power paying people to dig up dirt on our political opponents, then ordering an FBI investigation based on that opposition research, then using it to spy on your opponents, and lastly using it to assign a special counsel to continue to investigate a dead end...
Would have been something we "both" would have disagreed with... prior to Trump being elected.
But your sense of fair play, and constitutional protections have disappeared in your hatred of Trump.
For me... unlike you... the election of Trump doesn't change anything. It doesn't require any constitutional changes. It doesn't require illegal oversight. It does't require the FBI to act differently to him than they have to any other President.
But for you...
You have been forever changed by the election of Trump, whom you see as completely different than any other President, and therefore you believe he should be treated differently.
Those changes are 100% on you.
Because you took away the ability to post I use the current post to share other events. The news cycle is now about two hours.
You're delusional Scott. I'm sorry for this situation. Get help please my friend.
paying people to dig up dirt on our political opponents, then ordering an FBI investigation based on that opposition research, was initiated by the Trump administration Department of Justice.

Roger
You are "exactly" like every other Trump hater that I know. They are all upset with who they deem to be "Trump supporters". Not because they believe that "Trump supporters" have changed... but because we did not change as they did, after Trump got elected.
You all expect that your personal anger, frustration, and hatred should be just automatically assumed to be 100% justified, by nature of the shear force of it. Whenever it is questioned, you just get more angry, frustrated, and hateful at being questioned.
I read an article that walked through several relationships that have been killed off because of disagreements about Trump. In EVERY SINGLE CASE it was the Trump hater who decided that they had to end their relationship, and in EVERY SINGLE CASE it was because of the "lack" of mutual feelings about Trump.
It's as if they become uncomfortable around anyone who does not share their feelings, and angry and disappointed at those who are closest to them. But willing (non-the-less) to end relationships over the perceived lack of hatred and anger of those they can no longer tolerate.
Think Roger...
Dignified opposition has always been considered patriotic. The sort of vile hatred, violence, and anger being spewed today is not dignified or helpful. When has such hatred and violence been a good thing in any society?
You're on the wrong side of history anytime you side with open hate.
The difference between how you see it is simple.
I firmly believe that he is a danger to the republic. He has inspired violence and hatred I haven't seen since the depths of the war in Vietnam. He is attempting to impose his own political agenda upon the Department of Justice.
Lock her up is reminiscent of the Presidents of dictatorships.
It's not hatred. It's a very important time to step forward to preserve the Constitution. He either doesn't understand what the Constitution says or he just doesn't want to follow the Constitution to punish people who dare to disagree or oppose him.
You are ignoring history.
Scott you would be an ideal Chief of Staff for the President. You agree with everything that he proposes.

"casual error made by someone being sloppy"
Right. Just happened by Democrat Trump haters.
Once again, Trump has raised the specter of civil unrest if Congress moves to impeach him from office. In a recent interview, he claimed, "the people would revolt if that happened.” It is the latest in a series of dangerous provocations by Trump and his enablers intended to rile up his base as federal prosecutors close in on them. Last year, Roger Stone threatened an "insurrection."
Throughout history tyrants have used threats of violence and mass uprisings to intimidate anyone who challenges their authority and frighten the public into submission. But we can't let these threats rattle us. We must allow the rule of law to run its course and remain committed to peacefully removing Trump and his enablers from power.
Comey’s remarks about Trump dossier are not credible, says former FBI official
A former assistant director of intelligence at the FBI said Thursday he finds it hard to believe that former FBI Director James Comey was initially unaware of who paid for compiling what's become known as the Steele dossier, a file that contained largely unverified allegations about President Trump’s ties to Russia.
“We just had James Comey say in front of Congress last week that he didn’t even know that the [Democratic National Committee] actually funded the dossier that was used to get the surveillance started. Do you find that credible?” Hill.TV’s Buck Sexton asked Kevin Brock, who worked at the FBI for 23 years.
“No, I do not,” said Brock, the founder and principal of public safety firm NewStreet Global Solutions. “I don’t have an opinion on whether he lied or not, but it stretches credulity, in my view, that FBI in possession of this dossier would not have known the source and how it started.”
Brock added that Comey is “throwing the entire rest of the FBI under the bus” by suggesting he was not adequately briefed, adding that this lack of information is “hard to believe.”

"Good" people from Rogers side attacking Marines. I must have mossed all the headlines and coverage
Whatever Keenan said, both marines testified that Keenan, Massey, and approximately ten other people — men and women, some masked and some unmasked — then began attacking them with mace, punches, and kicks, and calling them “nazis” and “white supremacists.”
On the stand, Godinez said that he was “bewildered” by being called a white supremacist and immediately cried out, “I’m Mexican!” After that, as the attack continued, both men said that members of the group, including Keenan, repeatedly used ethnic slurs, including “spic” and “wetback,” against the marines. (There was no testimony that Massey used any such language).
Godinez testified that he was maced at least six times, hit in the head, and kicked in the ribs, and he said that while he was being “stomped,” members of the group, which the judge and the district attorney’s office have both referred to as a “mob,” chanted “fuck him up” over and over again.

In this he is entirely correct. There will be massive demotrations the like that hasn't been seen since the Vietnam war.

Antifa and the rest of the violence from the left is not justified by declaring that it is inspired. People are responsible for controlling their own emotions and behaving like civilized people.

Rudolph W. Giuliani, President Trump’s attorney, on Sunday rejected the prospect of Trump sitting down for an interview with special counsel Robert S. Mueller III.
“Over my dead body,” Giuliani said on “Fox News Sunday.” “But you know, I could be dead.”
“Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace followed up, pressing Giuliani on whether the special counsel wanted to speak with Trump. Giuliani did not respond directly and instead said he was “disgusted with the tactics they have used in this case.”
