Here we go!

A "technical glitch" wiped out a large number of e-mails between Lisa Page and Peter Strzok, in one of those coincidences that seems to surround the Mueller investigation.

According to Fox News:

"The DOJ's Inspector General (IG) said that, with help from the Department of Defense, it was able to uncover thousands of missing text messages written by Strzok and Page and sent using their FBI-issued Samsung phones from December 15, 2016 through May 17, 2017, "as well as hundreds of other text messages outside the gap time period that had not been produced by the FBI due to technical problems with its text message collection tool."

But when the IG went looking for the iPhones separately issued to Strzok and Page by the Mueller team, investigators were told that "[Strzok's] iPhone had been reset to factory settings and was reconfigured for the new user to whom the device was issued."

The records officer at the special counsel told the IG that "as part of the office's records retention procedure, the officer reviewed Strzok's DOJ issued iPhone" on September 6, 2017 and "determined it contained no substantive text messages" before it was wiped completely -- just weeks after Strzok was fired from Mueller's team for anti-Trump bias and sending anti-Trump text messages."

End excerpt.

Accidental - right!

This mirrors the way Hillary Clinton's servers were wiped with Bleachbit. And here we have the Mueller probe putting people in jail for confusing details in multiple interviews with agents.

Here is one example of an exchange. Other smoking guns might well have gone missing:

'He's not ever going to become president, right? Right?!'

"No, No he's not. We'll stop it."

Congress should act in the lame duck to close the Mueller probe down. This is disgraceful; an attempt to frame a legally-elected President because the powers in Washington don't like the outcome.
