This is becoming embarrassing. These are two veteran employees of the FBI. They were communicating using FBI issued phones with archiving software of which they were aware. The idea that these two individuals would plot treason via text message is just stupid. These were work phones. FBI work phones. FBI agents wanting to plot anything illegal would not communicate by text at all and certainly not using an FBI phone on an FBI service contract. That is how you get caught, instantly. There is 100% nothing illegal discussed in those texts. And we already know that because if you use text messages on an FBI phone to organize a criminal conspiracy you face consequences substantially more severe than a reassignment. The good guys have had these messages for awhile. The focus on the deleted messages means there is nothing else there. And if they find the other messages there will be nothing there either. Because these people aren’t stupid. This story is useful politically because it allows us to discuss bias, there wasn’t actually any conspiracy. Or if there was, the evidence isn’t in any text message. I mean really, anyone can download encrypted apps onto a burner phone. But senior federal investigators would use text, on work phones. If the enemy is that stupid, what is wrong with us?
“The idea that these two individuals would plot treason via text message is just stupid.”
It’s the D.C. rabid lefty echo chamber. They don’t give it a second thought. Everyone voted for Hillary. Everyone hates Trump and is trying to figure out how to bring him down.
We need Nuremberg-style treason trials and mass hangings on the national mall STAT.
They used burn phones. Also illegal.
Sometimes I think corruption becomes so entrenched that people don’t even notice it anymore that they’re corrupt, and they think nobody’s watching and nobody cares. Rod Blagojevich tried to sell Obama”s Senate seat on govt time, on a govt telephone, all while he knew that he was under investigation for something else. That doesn’t make sense either. They really think they’re beyond reach and are safe.
They would if they knew that everyone reading those texts was also a black hat.
I don’t think that they were stupid, just arrogant. Remember these people never thought that they would be questioned or really caught.
Everyone can be manipulated and is a comparative rube.
and Sessions knows that too. He knows exactly what he’s going to get to the bottom of — zero. We’re being played again. Even though “Q” says to be patient (with Sessions), the President is being played too, by himself.
These two were stupid but more brazen than anything. They, like everyone involved, had no fear. They did not not think Trump could possible run the gauntlet they constructed and get elected regardless of what we wanted. Once elected it was their sole mission to eliminate him. What texts that have been “found” set them up for conspiracy, collusion and perhaps Arkancide.
After reading what has already been released I find very puzzling that you can come to the conclusion that they weren’t incredibly stupid.
What do you mean 'us'??? You are separating yourself from those of us (and there are many) who think there is some 'there' there...
These people had not considered being investigated...Hillary was a shoe in...After Hillary lost, you can see the conversation turning to one of concern about prying eyes seeing their conversation...It is then they deleted months worth of record-able conversation...
So the gist of your statement is that these FBI people could not have possibly planned any wrongdoing or participated in any or communicated about wrongdoing because they would know they would be caught?
So therefore there was no planning or communicating about any wrong doing?
If that is your meaning, I question your sanity or your honesty.
