‘We Can’t Take That Risk’ — FBI Officials Discussed ‘Insurance Policy’ Against Trump Presidency
The Daily Caller ^ | 12/13/2017 | Chuck Ross

Posted on 12/13/2017 4:49:37 AM PST by EVO X

Two FBI officials who worked on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation exchanged text messages last year in which they appear to have discussed ways to prevent Donald Trump from being elected president.

“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,” FBI counterintelligence official Peter Strzok wrote in a cryptic text message to Lisa Page, an FBI lawyer and his mistress.

“It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40,” Strzok wrote in the text, dated Aug. 15, 2016.

Andy is likely Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe.

Oh, they’ll do a Congressional investigation alright ... Trey Gowdy will do his little junkyard dog dance, but that’s all that will come of it. As usual, the swamp will protect its own. These people are all frauds - even the so-called “conservatives.” Not one of them is capable of doing good.

You don’t understand, we must assume every Trump official is scheming to sell out America. We must also assume every left wing Mueller prosecutor is a patriot who doesn’t even remember voting for Hillary and hating Trump.

This is very troubling.

It needs to be investigated and heads must roll.

Just make certain that, when the day comes, we show no mercy, nor give quarter. Any individual connected in the slightest degree with liberalism or globalism, must be terminated with extreme prejudice - and it will matter not of their age, sex, or status. There needs to be a mortal reckoning for these treasonous and seditious bastards.

Making up dirt (or finding it) to discredit political opponents isn’t new.

And this actually fills in a nice little blank. Trump backed way off.

I wonder what they have threatened him with. I also wonder if they have dealt with a POTUS like Trump before. He fires back.

I can hardly believe how brazenly these people conspired to overthrow the will of the people.

They are brazen because they get away with it.

Every. Single. Time.

Until someone stops them, it will continue.

The peaceful alternative is a total tax strike. Take maximum exemptions on your W4, and file no federal tax return. Further, withdraw all monies from your bank accounts and retirement accounts. If but 3% of the population did this, we could collapse the entirety of the deep state. Failing, the only option remaining is civil war.

REPRESENTATIVE JIM JORDAN (R-OHIO; in hearings questioning FBI Director Wray):

“Here’s what I think, Director Wray. I think Peter Strzok, Head of Counterintelligence at the FBI, Peter Strozk, the guy who ran the Clinton investigation, did all the interviews, Peter Strzok, the guy the guy who was running the Russian investigation at the FBI, Peter Strzok, Mr. Super Agent at the FBI,I think he’s the guy who took the application to the FISA court.

And if that happened, I mean, I think...I think if this happened, if you had the FBI working with a campaign, the Democrat’s campaign, taking opposition research, dressing it all up and turning it into an intelligence document and taking it to the FISA court so they can spy on the other campaign...if that happened, that is as wrong as it gets.

And you know what?

Maybe I’m wrong. You could clear it all up. You could clear it all up for all of us here, all the Congress who wants to know...and frankly, all of America who wants to know...you could clear it all up by releasing...we sent you an letter two days ago, just release the application, tell us what was in it. Tell us if I’m wrong.

But I don’t think I am. I think that’s exactly what happened, and if it did, that is just as wrong as it can be, and people who did that need to be held accountable.”

Yes, “Relief Factor” Hugh is such a bore. By the way, I will never try that product.

So many reasons not to listen, but most days I do manage to get a knee slapper out of him that I can post.

I didn’t say Congress was a law enforcement agency.

But Congress CAN question these two FBI turncoats under oath, and then we’ll see if they will commit perjury under oath.

Instead of questioning Christopher Wray, the Congress needs to question the FBI officials who were there during the Obama years....in closed session, if necessary, in order to prevent grandstanding and to protect classified information.

But why else would they ever have a hearing?

This could be a plot to concoct the dossier, or an assassination plot. Whatever it is, I’m against it. But they kept it too vague to determine what it is.

3 “Andrews” on the “Leadership & Structure” page: Director Christopher Wray Deputy Director – Andrew McCabe Deputy Associate Deputy Director – Andrew James Castor

Another name that came up in this thread is Andy McCarthy, who said the furor over the Strzok texts is "BS."
