There are just a few legal loose ends that have to be tied up to formally come out with the rest of the text messages, however and whenever they come out.
I know, I know, there are those who are saying right about now, "How the hell does beverlytran.com know?"
Well, if people paid more attention to my work, they would have known that oversight of the Justice Department falls under the jurisdiction of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee, and the the DOJ OIG report was originally requested by John Conyers.
And people should have known that there is no such thing as "deleting" anything on social media because anything posted on social media is preserved in the Library of Congress, which means Judiciary has the authority to introduce social media into hearing records as evidence to refer to the DOJ for further investigation.
And, if people paid even more attention to what I disseminate, they would know that the Intelligence Community has all access to all surveillance of everyone, and I mean everything because Conyers was the lead on questioning why the people were being surveilled, going back to 2013.
You heard me, correctly.
We have everything.
As we patiently await for the Horowitz report, it would only be proper for me to illuminate all facets of the DOJ OIG and his investigation, whether factual, or non-factual, but I am not here to decide anything.
I am just here to preserve the annals of history.
Stay tuned because everything leads back to Detroit.
Oh, and I almost fogot to remind everyone, Perkins Coie still sucks.

DOJ recovers missing text messages between anti-Trump FBI agents Strzok and Page
In a letter sent to congressional committees, Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz said his office “succeeded in using forensic tools to recover text messages from FBI devices, including text messages between Mr. Strzok and Ms. Page that were sent or received between December 14, 2016 and May 17, 2017.” “Our effort to recover any additional text messages is ongoing,” Horowitz said. “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.” Fox News has learned from U.S. government officials that the inspector general recovered the texts by taking possession of "at least four" phones belonging to Strzok and Page.
Fox News’ Sean Hannity had reported Wednesday that the Department of Justice had started to recover some of the texts.
The missing messages have been at the center of a storm of controversy on Capitol Hill, after the DOJ notified congressional committees that there is a gap in records between Dec. 14, 2016, and May 17, 2017. Strzok and Page are under scrutiny after it was revealed that the former members of Robert Mueller's team exchanged a series of anti-Trump texts during the presidential campaign.
The gap in records covered a crucial period, raising suspicion among GOP lawmakers about how those messages disappeared.
More than 50,000 texts were exchanged between Strzok and Page, Attorney General Jeff Sessions revealed Monday. The texts are believed to have taken place during the course of a romantic affair.
Sessions had pledged to figure out how some of their texts went missing.
“We will leave no stone unturned to confirm with certainty why these text messages are not now available to be produced and will use every technology available to determine whether the missing messages are recoverable from another source,” Sessions said in a statement provided to Fox News. “If we are successful, we will update the congressional committees immediately.”
Federal law enforcement officials told Fox News on Wednesday that thousands of FBI cellphones were affected by the technical glitch that apparently prevented those Strzok and Page messages from being stored or uploaded into the bureau’s archive system.
Horowitz sent his letter confirming the discovery of texts to Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, who had inquired about the messages.
The five-month stretch of missing messages covers a period of time that includes President Donald Trump's inauguration, the firings of National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and FBI Director James Comey and the standing-up of former FBI Director Mueller as special counsel to investigate alleged Trump campaign collusion with Russian officials during the 2016 election.
Where are the 50,000 important text messages between FBI lovers Lisa Page and Peter Strzok? Blaming Samsung!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 24, 2018
President Trump had weighed in on the missing texts, tweeting this week: "Where are the 50,000 important text messages between FBI lovers Lisa Page and Peter Strzok?"
Republicans, arguing some top officials at the FBI are politically biased against Trump, have seized on the texts.
In one text exchange, Strzok and Page spoke of a “secret society” within the Department of Justice and the FBI the day after Trump's victory, according to two lawmakers with knowledge of the messages.
“We learned today about information that in the immediate aftermath of [Trump’s] election, that there may have been a secret society of folks within the Department of Justice and the FBI -- to include Page and Strzok -- that would be working against him,” Rep. John Ratcliffe, R-Texas said Monday on Fox News.
In another infamous message, Strzok appeared to make reference to an “insurance policy” against a Trump win.
“I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy’s office — that there’s no way he gets elected — but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk. It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40…” he wrote.Voting is beautiful, be beautiful ~ vote.©
