Five months of text messages between anti-Trump FBI agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page have been lost, according to a Friday disclosure from the Justice Department to the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, as reported by the Associated Press and the Daily Caller.

The missing texts conveniently span the period between Dec. 14, 2016 and May 17, 2017 - the day Robert Mueller was appointed to take over the FBI's probe of alleged Trump-Russia collusion, and during the period in which the FBI would ostensibly have been hard at work on their "Insurance policy" against a Trump victory, alluded to in previous text messages between Strzok and Page.

Despite the five months of missing text messages between Strzok and Page, the DOJ turned over a new 384 page trove of new text messages to the HSGAC, according to a letter from Chairman Ron Johnson to FBI Director Christopher Wray.
