Reporter Sara A. Carter joined “Hannity,” Monday evening, revealing former and current FBI officials fear Peter Strzok-Lisa Page text messages exchanged on Bureau-supplied phones may have been hacked by “foreign actors.” In addition, Carter raised the prospect that countries such as Russia and China could have used the captured exchanges to blackmail both the disgraced FBI agents.

“Former senior FBI officials, as well as current FBI officials do not believe that this was just a technical glitch,” began Carter in reference to the missing texts, adding, she couldn’t “use the language that they shared with me after the news came out.”
“Something that they did bring up, I think is really important to get out to the audience is they said that a lot of these text messages were done on these unsecure Samsung 5, you know, phones.”
“It wasn’t just about capturing it in U.S. servers, but they said foreign actors, such as Israel even, Germany, Russia, China and others tried to capture FBI cellphones all the time,” Carter added.
“It may be that a foreign actor actually has the text messages, between — that somebody may have [the texts] after all.”
“They talked about Flynn being the subject of blackmail, what about [Strzok and Page] being the subject of blackmail?” asked the Fox News contributor.
On Sunday, we learned additional text messages sent and received by disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok had been handed over to Congress. In yet another twist to the Strzok saga, the FBI failed to hand over a block of the agent’s text messages between Dec. 14, 2016, and May 17, 2017 because they went “missing.”
