Watchdog reveals how ex-Mueller agents' anti-Trump texts came to light
Fox News ^ | Dec 13, 2017 | Samuel Chamberlain

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Special Counsel Robert Mueller were told in July that two FBI officials working on Mueller's Russia probe had exchanged a number of anti-Trump text messages throughout the 2016 campaign, according to the Justice Department's watchdog.

DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz revealed the information one day after Fox News obtained more than 375 of the messages between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page. The messages were published ahead of Rosenstein's Wednesday appearance before the House Judiciary Committee.

Strzok, a former deputy to the assistant director for counterintelligence at the FBI, was fired by Mueller and reassigned to the FBI’s human resources division after the exchanges with Page were discovered. Page was briefly on Mueller’s team, but has since returned to the FBI.

One of the main elements of doing battle is timing.

The truth is being carefully emitted on a specific time time table to result in events having the maximum destructive power on the coming election and the leftist enemies

You’re quite right. People marry folks they work with every day.

“Has Strzok mysteriously twisted his right ankle requiring one of those medical support boots too?”

I have an extra large one, size 12-14 EEEEE, I wore after foot surgery a few years ago.”

I will donate it to someone to put Strzok’s head and neck in it, lock it in place and throw the key away into the DC Swamp.

How did they ever find the time to work their jobs while sending 10,000 texts. ? They should be fired just for that.

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

"We are talking a massive conspiracy to take down a 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."

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.

Can't be traced? I wonder if this brainiac Page is typical of the caliber of FBI agent; arrogant, but stupid.

You don't get it, do you? The "can't be traced" lie was told to Strzok's wife to explain the burner phone she found. I can't imagine a suspicious wife believing that her husband had a burner phone to talk about Hillary with the person she suspects he's having an affair with. But it was worth a try in the Trump Derangement Syndrome infected mind of Lisa Page.

P.S. My prediction is that the first 375 were just the tip of the iceberg. It is time to declassify all of them.

One would think that if they felt they could freely discuss their hatred for Donald Trump thru email or messaging that the remaining texts are filled with some really juicy stuff pertaining to the investigation...

That’s quite fascinating...I can’t imagine Sessions being interested in jumping into the middle of that...And yet, how’s he going to get away with saying there’s no ‘there’ there to investigate or prosecute???
