‘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.

I’m beginning to understand why McCain and all the leftists are against waterboarding.... and it has nothing to do with humanity and everything to do with their own corruption.

Excerpt shows they used non-government phones part of the time to hide their communications:

I am venturing to guess, that raised some eyebrows since the Hillary investigation was still underway on Apr 2.

The swamp is now so big that there might be half a dozen left in Washington. We have crossed the tipping point and didn’t even know it

It is time for a revolution. Anything else is a bandaid that lets the wound continue to fester.

“But why else would they ever have a hearing?”

I know, that’s why I suggested holding the hearing (s) in closed session.

“Congrats on a woman nominated for President in a major party! About damn time!”

Example of their total idiocy. If I was a woman, I’d consider that insulting and sexist.

Compromised?

None of them even WANT Trump in office.

Rs are willing to lose the senate to stop Trump so an impeachment will succeed.

It all boils down to “Russia Collusion” charge as nothing but a Democrat “insurance policy.” Strok has revealed what that fantasy is really all about. “Andy” McCabe actively aided and abetted that “insurance policy.”

We don’t know who Andy is. George Webb thought it could be someone like Andy Weissman who is on Mueller’s team..

Yep and any “talking head” saying this is nothing is a damn liar and part of the deep state.
IDC if this asshat was fired he was integral in getting this Russian collusion BS rolling in the first place. His dirty work is still taking place via Mueller.

Why is Strzok not in jail? When is President Trump going to fire all the top management in the FBI? Sessions should do something....anything...or GTFO of the administration.
