Five months worth of missing text messages between high-ranking anti-Trump FBI agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page have been recovered, a DOJ official told Fox News.

DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz told Iowa Sens. Charles Grassley and Sen. Ron Johnson he now has the texts, sent between December 15, 2016 and May 17, 2017. Last week, the Senate was informed that the texts from this crucial time period during the Russian probe were lost due to a technical error.

Horowitz said “forensic tools” were used to recover the texts from the devices. “Our effort to recover any additional text messages is ongoing,” Horowitz added. “We will provide copies of the text messages that we recover from these devices to the Department so that the Department’s leadership can take any management action it deems appropriate.”

CBS News reports the glitch impacted thousands of FBI Samsung 5 phones beginning in June 2016 through May 2017. This covers the time period when the Fusion GPS dossier began making the rounds of the FBI, through the obtaining of a FISA warrant against the Trump campaign, Strzok’s interview with Gen. Michael Flynn, and the appointment of Robert Mueller as Special Counsel. In fact, Pages texts happen to resume the very next day.

Congressional Republicans find the timing of the missing texts suspicious.

And as CBS News reports, “The FBI still has very few answers from the FBI on how this was able to happen for so long.”
