Robert Mueller Did WHAT with Peter Strzok's Cell Phone?!
There have been concerns from the very beginning of the “Russian collusion” investigation that Robert Mueller wouldn’t be playing nice with the Trump team.
Mueller, who is known for being a bear of a man when on the trail of a conviction, has also earned himself a reputation as a longstanding creature of the DC Swamp that President Trump had promised to drain from the podium in 2016. Now, with the former FBI chief starring in the role of Special Counsel, there are bound to be questions regarding the morality and ethical mindset of Mueller…particularly due to his ever-increasing investigatory scope.
What was once a look at Russian election interference is now simply a game of “who paid the porn star?”.
Worse still, we are getting reports of a number of ethics violations emanating from within the Special Counsel’s team, including a bizarre series of events involving the cell phone of former FBI agent Peter Strzok.
The Office of the Special Counsel deleted text messages from the iPhone of fired FBI agent Peter Strzok before turning it over to the Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General (OIG), according to a report released by the federal watchdog.
On Thursday, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report stating thousands of text messages exchanged between Strzok and FBI attorney Lisa Page could not be recovered after Mueller’s team wiped clean the phones it had issued them.
“SCO’s Records Officer told the OIG that as part of the office’s records retention procedure, the officer reviewed Strzok’s DOJ issued iPhone after he returned it to the SCO and determined it contained no substantive text messages,” the watchdog report reads. As Conservative Review national security reporter Jordan Schachtel first discovered, the OIG said Strzok’s cell phone was “reset to factory settings,” deleting all data stored on the device.
Stranger still…
The federal watchdog said in the report it found “no discernible patterns” about the content of thousands of messages the FBI was able to recover between Strzok and Page. Both have been part of Mueller’s investigation of possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
This indiscriminate whitewashing of the disgraced former spook’s digital paper trail lends yet another air of chicanery to the entire investigation.
