On Wednesday, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein was put through the wringer by House Republicans in an open hearing when it came to the derogatory text messages sent by anti-Trump/pro-Hillary FBI officials. The texts included name-calling directed at Trump but also a cryptic message about an “insurance policy” for the “risk” of a Trump presidency. The coverage of the texts varied wildly among the network evening newscasts; from no texts shown to covering up the officials’ relation to certain FBI investigations.
The FBI officials in question were investigator Peter Strzok and lawyer Lisa Page. Their messages were released as part of a review of Strzok following his removal from the special counsel investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
The coverage by ABC, CBS, and NBC varied so much that it’s best to begin with what none of them covered. None of the networks mentioned that Strzok and Page were in a romantic relationship, which was why they sent nearly 10,000 messages to each other. On top of that, they didn’t mention that Strzok once sent a cryptic and unsettling anti-Trump message to Page that read: 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 “Andy” mentioned in the text was believed to be Andrew McCabe, the deputy FBI director. And in one text from Page to Strzok, she said (and NBC noted): “And maybe you’re meant to stay where you are because you’re meant to protect the country from that menace.”

Thanks, that is an amazing chart, much needed these days.
You are welcome. I think that for many folks, having it all in one visual aid is a big help.
“Blackout” is a noun.
Yes, it helps a lot.
