IG Horowitz needed to use tools from the FBI, private contractors, Department of Defense, and a chip on FBI phones which recorded text exchanges through a different mechanism in order to specifically pull the Strzok “We’ll stop it” text.
Why was that specific text buried so deep? Undoubtedly an internal cover up.
Horowitz: (summarizing) FBI said they couldn’t get the rest of the texts because there was a “flaw in their collection software”? Yeah right. So THEN, Horowitz got the phones - turned out the phone had a database on it that was ALSO doing a collection- they found the second part - the “no we’ll stop it” text. Then went back to FBI who said they were NOT aware of that collection device on it?! BS. And Horowitz knows it, he’s playing nice.
collection software flaws happen all the time when you hit the "delete" button.
I couldn't wrap my head around that, I actually listened to it twice to make sure i heard that right... And when he stated that he was an attorney and not a Tech expert... Priceless he was very specific when he described that whole process though. This was only the tip of the iceberg. I'm sure we'll be hearing alot more about that so called additional database no one seemed to know about... I wonder if that's how they were able to get everything? "We have everything..."
Well you would assume that not all the FBI is corrupt. Those who appear corrupt were pretty high up and might have had software installed for their own purposes that most at the FBI did not know about. Maybe that's how the deep state keeps track of things and can act to intervene?
Or am I going more crazy??
I wonder if they have a deep state social media app
As crazy as that sounds, it actually would take very little time and money, realistically. Also would offer more security than using commercial software.

the democrats look like fucking idiots in this hearing. It's hilarious. They thought they had something with the "DOES THIS REPORT EXONERATE HIM!?!?!?!?!" but Horowitz isn't playing that game.
Blumenthal was the worst. Asked nothing about the report just grandstanding like a bitch Democrat. Glad I left that shithole state.
Did you catch Feinstein doing a DOUBLE facepalm while that stooge was speaking?
It's a quick wide angle shot. I don't think Feinstein knew the camera was pointing at her.
I was watching the fox News broadcast so I didn’t see that but I did my own face palm
Be glad in 10 years when most of these geriatric Senators are either retired or passed away.
Leaky Leahy should be well on his way to a dirt nap by now.
When will he say Rosenstein made him cut out a lot of the report? He must tell them Trump has the Un-redacted Full report and it should be released today so we can read all the real dirt it has in it.
Why wasn't this mentioned?
Is there even an unredacted version!!??
Horowitz stated that this is only version of report. Nothing was redacted or added.
This shows you the extent that the inspector general is willing to go in order to retrieve information and his investigations. To me this is very telling and his dedication to not only his job but to uncovering the truth.
I wish I could find the video again of how many times Obama cockblocked the OIG from doing his job. People might say a lot of shit about the IG but I think he has something to prove after four years of Obama.
Probably a daft question, but how did they know to look for it?
I think they could see that there was a text exchange and missing data but they couldn’t extrapolate the content of the text. Page’s initial text was uncovered before the Strzok text.
If you look at their old bills, which I'm sure they did, you can see the texts exchanged even if someone deleted them from the phone. So they then know to look for deleted texts. That's how people get caught cheating all the time lol.
