There is something rotten at the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I mean all of this is just absurd. We have two FBI agents texting one another, one of which is having an extramarital affair with the other, cryptically talking about “insurance” against a Trump presidency. That text between these two agents was delivered on August 15, 2016. You also have Andrew Weissmann, Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s top lieutenant, voicing praise for then-acting Attorney General Sally Yates for refusing to enact President Trump’s executive order on immigration, which got her fired. Then, there’s another DOJ official, Bruce Ohr, who was demoted for meeting the authors of the infamous and unverified Trump dossier, Fusion GPS; Ohr’s wife, Nellie, worked for that firm during the 2016 election. If there is nothing rotten at the FBI, then it’s credibility is definitely in question, something that The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board mentioned in their op-ed about this mess. The two FBI agents at the center of the firestorm right now, Peter Strzok and Lisa Page are obviously no longer working with Mueller; Strzok was removed in August, while Page’s assignment with the investigation has already ended and she has been transferred elsewhere. Still, from this past summer to now—and we’re just learning about these 10,000 text messages between the two. The Journal makes it clear that there appears to be mounting evidence of election meddling emanating from the bureau:
“I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy’s office—that there’s no way [Trump] gets elected—but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk,” Mr. Strzok wrote Ms. Page in an Aug. 15, 2016 text. He added: “It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40.”
What “policy” would that be? The “Andy” in question is Andrew McCabe, the deputy FBI director. FBI officials are allowed to have political opinions, but what kind of action were they discussing that would amount to anti-Trump “insurance”?
In another exchange that month, Ms. Page forwarded a Trump-related article and wrote: “Maybe you’re meant to stay where you are because you’re meant to protect the country from that menace.” He thanked her and assured: “Of course I’ll try and approach it that way.” Mr. Strzok, recall, is the man who changed the words “grossly negligent” to “extremely careless” in James Comey’s July 2016 public exoneration of Hillary Clinton’s emails.
The McCabe meeting came on the heels of the FBI’s launch of its counterintelligence probe into Trump-Russia ties. July is also when former British spook Christopher Steele briefed the FBI on his Clinton-financed dossier of salacious allegations against Mr. Trump. The texts explain why Mr. Mueller would remove Mr. Strzok, though a straight shooter wouldn’t typically resist turning those messages over to Congress for as long as Mr. Mueller did.
Meanwhile, we’re learning more about the political motives of Mr. Mueller’s lieutenant, Andrew Weissmann. Judicial Watch last week released an email in which Mr. Weissmann expressed his “awe” and praise for Sally Yates, after the then acting AG and Obama holdover refused to implement Mr. Trump’s travel ban.
This should trouble anyone who cares about the integrity of the Justice Department.
[…]
Public confidence isn’t helped by the continuing Justice and FBI refusal to cooperate with Congress. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who supervises Mr. Mueller, toed the Mueller-FBI line on Wednesday before the House Oversight Committee. He repeated FBI Director Christopher Wray’s preposterous excuse that he can’t answer questions because of an Inspector General probe. And he wouldn’t elaborate on the news that Nellie Ohr, the wife of senior Justice official Bruce Ohr, worked for Fusion GPS, which hired Mr. Steele to gin up his dossier.
The man who should be most disturbed by all this is Mr. Mueller, who wants his evidence and conclusions to be credible with the public. Evidence is building instead that some officials at the FBI—who have worked for him—may have interfered in an American presidential election.
So, again, what’s the insurance policy? Is it the dossier that contains salacious and unverified information about Trump, something that Katie pointed out in her post? Or, as it seems, is it the FBI investigation into Russian interference in July. Did they hope to find actual evidence of collusion to nail Trump if he were to become president? Strzok was an agent with the counter-intelligence wing of the bureau. Whatever the case, it seems that meddling, or at least conversation of such activities, is coming from inside the house, or to be more accurate—inside the J. Edgar Hoover Building and not the Kremlin. Judicial Watch just filed a FOIA lawsuit to obtain all of Peter Strzok’s files relating to his reassignment from the Russia investigation conducted by Robert Mueller.
Your post #5 warms my heart!
I thought they were, too, but am now wondering. I seem to recall she was, and had a hubby with interesting connections, but I could be mixing her up with another female in the case, maybe that one that looks like a bit like a guy and has the CIA / Fusion GPS background.

Well said, chris37 !
Ping to article & post #5 !
I’m sorry, but a cigarette is out. We can’t endanger someone’s health while they are waiting to be executed. /s
“How about we bring back stocks in the public square?”
As long as they are held over for trial ? I could agree to that. Where can I get a bushel of rotten tomatoes?
Sedition in the least. Actions must have consequences.
Patience is a virtue.... which has been difficult to achieve for many, and for good reason.
Arrest the traitors, give them a fair trial, (if) found guilty, let them dance from a rope on the WDC mall. Let the birds strip their bones. That would send a message to other traitors and seditionists.
LOL! :D
You’re right. They don’t deserve any tobacco.
Woodchipper would be a very fine solution!
Well thank you very much <3
“Personally, I’d like to see them all with a blindfold and a cigarette.
All of them. This is treason.”
Precisely this. There’s a certain appeal to public hangings, though.
Thanks for the link. They all need to go to prison if you ask me.
I imagine the fear in Congress (both Houses) is nothing short of paralyzing. The longstanding institutions of the Republic are crumbling before our eyes. In a moment, the lid blows off this thing and everyone runs for the hills.
The Democrat Party is moribund and the Republicans are sitting around thinking they’re next
I say we need a Nuremberg style accounting with the sound of construction battalions heard from the courtroom - building scaffolding and gallows.
They aren’t sucking off the taxpayer any longer!
The guilty need lethal injections
ODUNGO’S SEEDED FBI.....
Not news, I know, so it should be obvious by now to even politically least sophisticated Americans; that is, we’re all familiar now with the Democrats’ favorite tactic of late:
Do something bad, then, if/when it blows up—accuse your opponent of doing it. It has worked for almost a full year.
The FBI at its highest levels blatantly colludes with `Hillary Clinton for President’ on its e-mail pooch screwing (”Why, this was just carelessness, not culpable.”).
But surprise, surprise, surprise—she still loses. The same FBI political hacks then hastily recommend that Trump be investigated, it certainly seems to take attention away from their crimes.
Law enforcement officers, highest in the land. Right?
Why aren’t Mueller & Co. being replaced right now with real, IMPARTIAL investigators so that the investigators can be investigated? This circus show has been the Chicago way from the start.
How much longer will this political farce continue?
