WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department’s watchdog found no evidence the FBI intentionally destroyed text messages of two former FBI officials involved in the Hillary Clinton email investigation.

Instead, the inspector general faulted an FBI-wide software failure that has resulted in large portions of FBI text messages not being archived.

Thursday’s report examines a gap in messages from December 2016 through May 2017 from the phones of former FBI agent Peter Strzok and ex-FBI lawyer Lisa Page. The FBI ultimately managed to recover thousands of the messages.

Some congressional Republicans had suggested the messages were intentionally deleted. The inspector general report says there’s no evidence Strzok and Page circumvented protocol.

Leave it to scandal-mongering Republicans to seek out a crime in normal behavior. It speaks to their projection and the many crimes they are covering up.

for distraction, or whistle calls to the base, or for whatever reason. To cost the country the money to investigate this nonsense, and the people involved to have their reputations damaged and their time wasted....

They should rot in hell. Which I hope we have begun to present to them.
