To put that in perspective, marketer Heidi Cohen wrote in 2015, "US teens send an average of 30 texts per day. Teen girls send an average of 40 texts per day and older teen girls send an average of 50 texts per day."
These federal agents were texting like two teenage girls, swapping 100 texts a day for six months straight.
Strzok is kind of girlie man, isn't he? Pee Wee Herman without the bowtie.
The two had a lot of time on their hands, didn't they?
"The Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General initiated this investigation upon being notified of a gap in text message data collection during the period December 15, 2016 through May 17, 2017, from Federal Bureau of Investigation mobile devices assigned to FBI employees Peter Strzok and Lisa Page relevant to a matter being investigated by the OIG’s Oversight and Review Division," the department said in a press release.
“The OIG forensically recovered thousands of text messages from FBI mobile devices issued to Strzok and Page through its multiple extraction efforts. Approximately 9,311 text messages were recovered from Strzok’s S5 [Samsung]. Approximately 10,760 text messages were recovered from Page’s S5."
These federal employees on company time using company equipment sat around mocking our duly elected president.
That is unAmerican and I suspect common among FBI agents because look how comfortable they were texting like teenage girls.
And I also suspect the FBI is not the only agency where employees commonly mock the president. In so doing, they mock the American people.
Ending Civil Service might remind them who the boss is.
Till then, if the text message includes an emoji or an OMG, it is not an official message and should not be sent.

How did a nerd like Strzok and ditzy Lisa Page ever land jobs with the FBI in the first place? Security must have really become lax since I worked in aerospace and had to undergo a Secret clearance investigation.

If you're a corrupt politician, it's good to have corrupted people working for your personal interests. You can blackmail them into doing what you want them to do.

DeleteFBI The were as serious as an F-18 off your wingtip.. Securtiy means something else these days.
Skip conventional sex. They did text sex...after all this is the 2nd millennium!
ReplyDeleteDoes this speak to the dismal quality of what law schools are turning out or the dismal quality of people go to work for the government?

ReplyDeleteIt will probably take 2 more years for the OIG to review these texts. No news here. They've probably already been scrubbed for anything incriminating. I have no faith in anything coming from our Justice department.
ReplyDeletecould agree more with your last sentence BQB!

ReplyDeleteYes.
Your comment aboug ending the civil service reminded me that it could well be the case that civil service protection in the executive branch iz unconstitutional since it impinges on the power of the sole executive identified in the constitution, the President, to staff that branch. Time has come to mount that challenge.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see all federal employee pay cut in half, fewer days off, no pensions as social security is enough, less fringe benefits... make them all serve on a merit basis.
DeleteWe have the Hatch Act to make sure they won't be mixing politics with their jobs so the Civil Service Act is no longer needed.
The lack of sophistication and liberal leanings of personnel in the FBI and other specialized government organizations such as the CIA shouldn't be surprising. Most of these people are recruited straight out of college. Add the forcing of square pegs into the round holes of diversity hiring requirements to the mix and here we are and it's only going to get worse.
ReplyDeleteIn a logical world, the FBI would have been disbanded when it failed to prevent 9/11 despite the hijackers being dumber than last year's bird nest.
DeletePrior to 911 we had J Edgar Hoover stating there was no such thing as the Mafia... he should of been fired immediately, investigated and brought to trial for corruption back then.
DeleteAttorney General Bobbie Kennedy (RFK) certainly proved Hoover was full of shit when RFK indicted more mobsters in one year than Hoover did in 30-some years of drawing top pay at the FBI while crossdressing for his boyfriends.
Of course Hoover, and his best friend in DC was LBJ, so both made sure JFK and RFK were soon buried... another reason the FBI and CIA should have been dismantled more than 55 years ago.
Government employees of any kind should not be allowed to vote. Confict of interest.
ReplyDeleteWomen's suffrage should also be repealed as it plainly states in the constitution that taxpaying men would have the vote, provided their taxes were paid and literacy was mandatory.
