Here's What Lisa Page Had to Say About That FBI 'Insurance Policy'
Townhall.com ^ | March 13, 2019 | Katie Pavlich

Posted on 03/13/2019 10:15:03 AM PDT by Kaslin

Former FBI attorney Lisa Page, who conspired with fired FBI agent Peter Strzok to stop Donald Trump if he won the presidency, testified in front of a closed door session on Capitol Hill last year. Now her testimony has been released, showing the extent to which the duo was willing to go with their efforts. It reveals the "insurance policy" discussed in text messages was likely Robert Mueller's Special Counsel investigation.

"If he is not elected, then, to the extent that the Russians were colluding with members of his team, we're still going to investigate that even without him being President, because any time the Russians do anything with a U.S. person, we care, and it's very serious to us," Page said about her thinking under questioning from former Congressman Trey Gowdy. "But if he becomes President, that totally changes the game because now he is President of the United States. He's going to immediately start receiving classified briefings. He's going to be exposed to the most sensitive secrets imaginable. And if there is somebody on his team who wittingly or unwittingly is working with the Russians, that is super serious."

Text messages found between Page and Strzok, with whom she was having an affair, discuss a meeting in fired Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe's office to go over an "insurance policy." A number of other messages showed Strzok and Page repeatedly slamming Trump and his supporters while favoring the election of Hillary Clinton.

Further, her testimony reveals there was no evidence of collusion at the time the Special Counsel investigation was launched in May 2017. Nearly two years later, there is still no evidence.

As a reminder, the Department of Justice Inspector General found the anti-Trump messages exchanged between Page and Strzok to be deeply troubling. From a report released in August 2018:

"During the course of the review, the OIG discovered text messages and instant messages between some FBI employees on the investigative team, conducted using FBI mobile devices and computers, that expressed statements of hostility toward then candidate Donald Trump and statements of support for then candidate Clinton," the report states. "We were deeply troubled by text messages exchanged between Strzok and Page that potentially indicated or created the appearance that investigative decisions were impacted by bias or improper considerations."

"Most of the text messages raising such questions pertained to the Russia investigation, which was not a part of this review. Nonetheless, when one senior FBI official, Strzok, who was helping to lead the Russia investigation at the time, conveys in a text message to another senior FBI official, Page, 'No. No he won’t. We’ll stop it' in response to her question '[Trump’s] not ever going to become president, right? Right?!', it is not only indicative of a biased state of mind but, even more seriously, implies a willingness to take official action to impact the presidential candidate’s electoral prospects. This is antithetical to the core values of the FBI and the Department of Justice," the report continues.

WRT the two FBI birds hatred for pro-lifers.....let's not forget......they were working closely with the abortion-worshipping Halfrican.

In one hacked email, vagina-ready Page emailed that "Obama want to know everything we're doing."

2004 BACKSTORY In February 2004, then-US Senate candidate Barack Obama's wife, Michelle, sent a fund-raising letter with the "alarming news" that "right-wing politicians" had passed a law stopping doctors from performing p/b abortions (stabbing half-born babies in the neck with scissors, suctioning out their brains and crushing their skulls).

Michelle Obama considers partial-birth abortion "a legitimate medical procedure," and asked supporters for $150 to attend a luncheon for her candidate husband, b/c he would fight against "cynical ploys" to stop p/b sbortions.

(NOTE: nurses at an Illinois hospital in 1999 discovered babies were being aborted alive and placed on shelves in soiled utility rooms to die unattended.)

==================================

BACKGROUND Legislation was presented on the federal level and in various states called the Born Alive Infants Protection Act. It stated all live-born babies were guaranteed the same constitutional right to equal protection, whether or not they were wanted.

BAIPA sailed through the U.S. Senate by unanimous vote. Even Sens. Clinton, Kennedy and Kerry agreed a mother's right to "choose" stopped at her baby's delivery. The bill also passed overwhelmingly in the US House. NARAL went neutral on it. Abortion enthusiasts publicly agreed that fighting BAIPA would appear extreme. President Bush signed BAIPA into law in 2002.

But in Obama's Illinois, the state version of BAIPA repeatedly failed, thanks in large part to then-state Sen. Barack Obama. It only passed in 2005, after Obama left. Obama articulately asserted that legislation protecting live aborted babies might infringe on women's rights or abortionists' rights (The very same judicial reasoning used to approve dismemberment of aborted babies).

In 2003, as chairman of the next state Senate committee to which BAIPA was sent, Obama stopped it from even getting a hearing, shelving it to die much like babies were still being shelved to die in Illinois hospitals and abortion chambers.

(NOTE As chair of that same committee, state Sen Obama once abruptly ended a hearing early, right before the parents of six children killed as a result of Illinois' drivers licenses-for-bribes scandal, were to testify in favor of Choose Life

Brett Bare was making an ass of himself today, noting the great job Muleface did because there were no leaks. What an intellectually weak point to make given everything in Washington leaks. No leaks mean no evidence. Even the folks who perpetrated this fraud on our Republic have said there is nothing there.

"If Lisa Page is actually spilling the beans then she is a patriot."

She's no patriot. She doesn't want to go to jail. She realizes her last name is not Clinton she can't get away with it.

Yes, justice delayed I guess is still justice. It also goes to show who does all of the leaking on capitol hill. If it's good for the Orange Bad man, we don't hear about it until a year later. If it's bad for the Orange bad man, it's on CNN's 6 pm lead in.

And not the so-far unreleased emails from the FBI headquarters building's fourth floor asking agents in various field offices across the country if their fellow agents would support a *Dallas Outcome* or a *Dallas Scenario?*

Because of course, the FBI/CIA is meant to sit in judgement of the President and his policy, and secretly investigate him if they disagree. This kind of activity is the very definition of a police state. And it hasn’t even come close to being dismantled. These are dangerous times.

Treasonous adulterous bitch.

Events in Eastern Europe transpired because it was occupied by the Red Army. Stalin didn’t even worry about the bomb.

Where does that come from? I have believed from before the election that this is the method that will be ultimately turned to to remove him.

As LifeSiteNews reports, a transcript of the conversation on January 22, 2016 – the day of the March for Life – reveals the conversation between the two:

Strzok: “F*cking marchers making traffic problems.”

Page: “Yeah, some extremely offensive video screens set up in front of district. I truly hate these people. No support for the woman who actually has to spend the rest of her life rearing this child, but we care about ‘life.’ Assholes.”

Lisa Page: ‘If I Had This to Do Over Again, I Wouldn’t Write This Sh** Down’
CNS News ^ | March 13, 2019 | 11:27 AM EDT | Susan Jones / FR Posted by E. Pluribus Unum

(CNSNews.com) – “This has been obviously the worst year of my life,” Lisa Page said in her closed-door testimony before a joint hearing of the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees last July. “And certainly, if I had this to do over again, I wouldn’t write this shit down in my personal – in a work-related text message. But we have not been treated fairly,” she said.

Ranking member Doug Collins (R-Ga.) released the entire transcript of Page’s testimony on Tuesday, and much of that testimony focused on the text messages Page exchanged with Peter Strzok on her FBI-issued cell phone. The two were engaged in an extra-marital affair, and both of them were involved in the FBI’s Hillary Clinton email investigation, and immediately afterward, the Trump-Russia investigation. Some of their text messages display support for Clinton and hostility for Trump.

Asked by a Democrat committee staffer if there was anything she would like to say for the record, Page wept, then said:

" I have unquestionably made mistakes, but those mistakes reflect my personal life and having bad judgment. But we have both been committed to the defense of this country for our entire careers, both of us (referring to Strzok). So we have been caught up in politics, and I understand that that happens, and certainly, if I had this to do over again, I wouldn’t write this shit down in my personal – in a work-related text message. But we have not been treated fairly."

"What matters is our actions. Our personal views, regardless of what they are, are irrelevant. What matters is what we do. And over and over and over again, there is absolutely nothing that anyone can point to to suggest that we ever..." (Excerpt) Read more at cnsnews.com ...

What I don’t understand is how an illegally started investigation can produce any convictions. Shouldnt any evidence produced by the investigation be considered ‘fruit of a poisoned tree’?
