Why FBI's 'missing' five months of texts is worse than Watergate

Richard Nixon's secretary Rose Mary Woods erased 18 minutes of tape recording of the president and became infamous in1972. The FBI failed to preserve five months of text messages and expects the American public to believe it was a random mistake.

This is worse than Watergate. The text messages between agents Peter Strozk and Lisa Page are instructive for several reasons.

First, the texts were sent in the lead-up to Robert Mueller being named a special counsel in the investigation of Russia and the 2016 presidential election.

Second, earlier messages that have been released included not only the involvement of outgoing FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, but the desire of top-level FBI officials to create an “insurance policy” against a Donald Trump presidency.

Strozk and Page eventually ended up working on Mueller’s probe into possible Russia connections to the Trump campaign. However, Strozk was removed after the Justice Department’s inspector general revealed Strozk’s extramarital affair with Page, and also disclosed the anti-Trump bias that was animating Strozk and Page. Page had already left the probe before the texts were discovered.

There is no way that the IT department of the FBI, nor its communication department, nor archive department, nor the FBI vendor relations department, nor the vendor's partially imbedded customer service/product assistance reps, nor FBI supervisors, nor the intermediate FBI supervisors, nor the leadership of the FBI all could have missed the "fact" that months and months of information wasn't being captured and preserved.

Do they take us all for cretins and fools??!
