Embattled FBI Agent Text References Trump Impeachment
Sara Carter ^ | 1/24/18 | Sara A. Carter

Posted on 01/24/2018 5:49:43 PM PST by markomalley

The latest batch of text messages between the pair of embattled FBI agents at the center of the Special Counsel’s probe into President Donald Trump‘s campaign and alleged Russian collusion reveals that one of the agents may have seen his participation in the investigation as a path to “impeaching” President Trump, said several congressional sources.

The recent text messages between FBI special agent Peter Strzok and FBI attorney Lisa Page were turned over last week by the Department of Justice to six congressional committees. Those text messages, as previously reported, shed new light on the political leanings, unvarnished bias and possibly a concerted effort by some members of the FBI to influence Robert Mueller’s Special Counsel investigation, congressional sources reveal.

More importantly, said Rep. Jim Jordan, an Ohio Republican, and member of the House Judiciary Committee, is the text where Strzok is discussing whether to join the Special Counsel, as well as his previous involvement in the FBI investigation into Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s use of a private server.

“[My] gut sense and concern is there’s no big there-there”

Rep. Jordan said that the “impeachment” text is extremely concerning because of how it’s framed and in the context of the onslaught of text messages reviewed by congressional members. It also shows possible intent on the part of Strzok to influence the Special Counsel’s Office investigation, he said.

In an August 2016 text message, Strzok tells Page, “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.”

The reference to Andy is believed to be current Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, who announced he is retiring from the FBI in March and the “insurance policy” reference is being investigated by several congressional committees which have access to the full scope of the text messages.

Rep. Jordan said the August text message in conjunction with the text messages recently released is “deeply concerning” and illustrate strong indications that the pair needs to be fully investigated. He added that “the best way to understand the text messages is by looking at the full scope of their communications.”

On Tuesday, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee that requested the text messages, released two pages of Page and Strzok’s communications.

In one of the newly released texts regarding last year’s announcement of the Special Counsel investigation, Strzok tells Page that his “gut sense and concern is there’s no big there-there.”

But then at 12:36 a.m. on March 19, two days after the Special Counsel has convened, Strzok texts Page saying “for me, and this case, I personally have a sense of unfinished business. Unleashed it with MYE. Now I need to fix it and finish it.”

Strzok, who was also a central figure in the Trump Russia investigation, which began in the early summer of 2016, might be referring in this text to that particular investigation. “MYE” is the acronym for their codename Mid-Year Exam, a reference to the Clinton investigation, which Strzok was also involved in.

Strzok then goes back and forth in texts with Page, who is apparently is trying to talk him out of joining the Special Counsel investigation. Then at 12:40 am he sends another text in reference to the Special Counsel saying, “Who gives a f**ck, one more AD-like (redacted), or whoever. An investigation leading to impeachment?”

Strzok, who was deputy assistant director of the counterintelligence division, was removed from the Special Counsel’s office after the DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz uncovered nearly 50,000 texts messages between the agents, who were also having an affair. He was moved to the FBI’s Human Resources office.

We heard rumors efforts by Obama to purge military senior staff, why imagine that it was not just the tip of the iceberg?

Aside, in light of the “bugs”, “Intel Inside” ... could the NSA have come up with a better pun than real life happenstance may have done?

Did Strzok tell Mueller about his hopes to get Trump impeached? and was that why he was hired for the team?

There’s something that bothers me. They keep referring to Page as his “mistress.” Is he married or were they just dating?

Smells like bonafide sedition to me. "We are talking a massive conspiracy to take down an elected and sitting US president that covers most branches of government, media and several foreign governments. Government officials were using burner phones and non-government emails, our spy agencies and foreign spy agencies to maneuver around US laws. I do not think people understand how huge this is. Trump was right when he said this election was the last chance to save the US." (Thanks to Lady Heron!)

Sedition is easier to prove and document versus treason, like with their own words, emails on the internet or videos of them actually committing or conspiracy, acts of Seditious conspiracy in violation of US Code, like this mia Culpa by these FBI/DOJ maggot infested thugs.

U.S. Code › Title 18 › Part I › Chapter 115 › § 2384 18 U.S. Code § 2384 - Seditious conspiracy US Code:

If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 808; July 24, 1956, ch. 678, ;1, 70 Stat. 623; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII,;330016(1)(N), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2148.)

I think I understand why the FBI was so ruthless against the Mafia in the 70s-90s. They were eliminating their competition. (Thanks to Damper99)

These bastards —still in power— planned to kidnap
and perhaps murder the grandchild of the elected
President.

As if treason, uranium1, benghazi manpads
delivered during a Clinton child sacrifice,
and planning to kill the President,
were not enough.

All the MSM reading and watching folks have no idea about this. Our local rag has not reported on this and I doubt it will.

Here's a nice headline from the Daily Mail:

EXCLUSIVE: FBI Lothario whose 'F Trump' texts to married lover have plunged Mueller probe into crisis over bias is pictured with the wife he betrayed

subhead:

Peter Strozk was photographed by DailyMailTV leaving home with his wife for first time since his anti-Trump texts to his lover were revealed

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5199043/Pictured-Anti-Trump-text-FBI-agent-wife-cheated-on.html

Does that make you feel better?

Oh, I don't think so.

The "bowels" of Hillary's ‘resistance’ movement are found much deeper than that:

    Two Possibilities
  1. President Trump hired Rod Rosenstein and Robert Mueller to smoke out the criminal seditionists and hook them.
  2. President Trump made serial mistakes hiring Jeff Sessions, Rod Rosenstein, and Robert Mueller as at least two, including a decorated US Marine officer, betrayed their country for the Clinton family, etc.

Well, you may be more correct.. but, Hillry was so counting upon her FBI cabal to throw out President Trump. I wondered at the time when she set her ‘resistant’ movement in motion, what she was up to... I think learning that the FBI were her ‘law’ enforcers demonstrates that she really believed she was going to move back to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. She has got to be so heartbroken to see her best laid plans exposed.

I know. They've been just like two dormice, haven't they.

And Obama keeps indicating he's going to "return and lead the resistance," and somehow never seems to show his face.

His cult-of-personality followers must be wondering what to think.
