Trump Accuses FBI Agent of ‘Treason’
Wall Street Journal (via Sputnik) ^ | Jan 11 2018 | Rebecca Ballhaus

WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump said Thursday that an FBI agent once involved in the special counsel’s Russia probe committed “treason,” and he called for Republican investigators in Congress to conclude their probes swiftly.

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Trump, unprompted, labeled as “treason” a text message written by Peter Strzok, an agent at the Federal Bureau of Investigation who until late July was a top investigator on the special counsel’s team investigating whether Russia colluded with associates...

What, send him to a softball federal workhouse? Oh, no. I want him given a lethal injection along with Page and the rest of them. It sets an example.

Apparently the FBI has engaged a "reputation management company." I used to go to their facebook for laughs to see hundreds of comments accusing them of corruption on every post. Now they delete all but the most poorly written ones and add in lots of posts giving kudos and/or praise.

Reputation management companies do that and more when someone is having a "reputation problem."

"this has gotta put shivers down the spine of some of these deep staters."

While I think sedition is probably more legally accurate, a case can be made for treason because we have an ongoing conflict with terrorists. And YES, it does send a shiver down the spine of the deep staters, because treason is punishable by execution. Treason carries with it the scorn of society and these deep staters who have carried on without thinking through their actions and words had better be extremely nervous now. They ACTIVELY tried to bring down the sitting head of the Government.

I hope they get the good old fashioned firing squad and are asked if they have any last words.

It’s called high TREASON and there are so many conspirators that we need Nuremberg-style treason trials and MASS HANGINGS on the national mall.

When you turn the fed govt against the American people there is no bigger enemy. There is no higher form of treason.

Strzok was removed from the Special Counsel’s investigation when the texts were uncovered and Page only worked for the Special Counsel’s office temporarily.


Lisa Page was hired for Team Mueller in June 2017. A simple Google search says she was hired for her specialty in white collar crime and Money Laundering. There was never anything said about a temporary position. No one knows when she left the Team Meuller. This may be a critical point with Meuller holding the Bag, so to speak. When was she let go. where did she go? Why did she leave?
Remember, if we give them enough time they will have answers.

That much power always gets abused.

I’d vote for the administration of justice and include all those in the media that became part of the conspiracy.

I get the feeling they’re searching for a fall guy. Strzok seems to be the one, with a lesser penalty for his dimwit girlfriend.

Both Strzok and Page should have already been put on administrative leave.

Sedition would pertain to those outside the gubbermint. Not in positions of actual power.

So, my question to you and others is: Would you chance forgoing our (current) dominant position in an attempt to restore what cannot be repaired? Know that if you fail, you subject you and your progeny to the boot for all eternity.

All of the participants of the Kenyanesian Usurpation are assured immunity because there is no one not complicit except Trump in our government.

It’s not the critical comments directed at Then-candidate Trump, but the act of attempting to manipulate the outcome of the presidential election that makes the actions and communications of these agents treasonous.

President Trump is preparing the battlefield.

If he would have gone on the offensive early he would have been impeach. The left had controlled the narrative and they had many people believing their lies.

It appears he has been slowly tearing them down and we are now entering a phase where anything the left says will not be believed by anyone other than their core base.

There is enough information out now about the DOJ and FBI that it is easy to believe agents have in fact committed treason (attempt to over throw the government).

Please stay safe Mr. President, your enemies are being pushed into a box and they very well may strike out.

I hate to appear tin foil hatish, but has this been
confirmed?

Not that I doubt anyone’s veracity here, but there is much...um...mendacity goin’ on lately.

I disagree. It seems to me that if we have federal laws, we need a federal law enforcement arm.

Any institution will reflect the general culture surrounding it. The problem doesn’t lie in having an FBI; the problem lies in rotten values, largely operating at the top echelons.

But, never mind. You’ve already proven ‘Godwin’s Law’.

Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009 was the biggest historical treasonous act and BOTH parties colluded to violate the Constitution.
