WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump said Thursday that an FBI agent once involved in the special counsel’s Russia probe committed “treason,” and he called for Republican investigators in Congress to conclude their probes swiftly.
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - US President Donald Trump said in an interview that text messages exchanged between two agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation involved in the Russia probe were treasonous, US media reported.
In an interview with Trump on Thursday, the Wall Street Journal reported that the president said the messages sent between Agent Peter Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page in the summer of 2016 amounted to treason because they were critical of him.
Strzok was removed from the Special Counsel's investigation when the texts were uncovered and Page only worked for the Special Counsel's office temporarily.
Loud & Clear Revealed: FBI Infiltrated Trump Presidential Campaign Earlier, Politico has cited copies of the Justice Department's documents which detail how two FBI agents, assigned to the Russia probe, were busted for referring to Trump as an “idiot” while the presidential race was still on. The Justice Department turned over the copies of the messages to Congress later.
An estimated 375 texts were handed over, revealing how Strzok and Page had mocked Trump since 2015, according to the Justice Department.
Good. Trump calling it like it is.
Why Peter Strzok has not been charged with treason is a mystery.
It just goes to show how our US justice system has collapsed.
they were far more than just “critical of him”
The big man, using the big word. The dam is breaking.
just one agent ?
shoulda called out the entire organization
Of course it was treason.
There has been quite a lot of treason happening in the District of Corruption, but none dare call it that.
Yes, but let’s not leave out Hillary and Huma.
Treason, spying, extortion, subversion, blackmail, embezzlement, and last but not least, murder.
I heard a reporter on Jake Tapper this afternoon attribute this word, “treasonous”, NOT to President Trump, but to reporters version of what he said.
Tapper ignored her clarification, picked up the story from there, and continued to deride the president for using it.
I see this excerpt from WSJ attributes Trump with using the word, himself, and not to reporters.
this has gotta put shivers down the spine of some of these deep staters.
Yeah, that's why.
Strzok, Page, Comey and others belong at the ends of ropes.
IMO, the guy is guilty of attempting to overthrow the government. I think that’s called sedition, and since more than one person was involved, it’s a conspiracy. They should swing.
Trump is on a roll..haha
Flapper is STILL doing interviews on TV? Is he not afraid?
When someone alludes to a conspiracy to put in place an “ insurance policy” against the election of a POTUS
It’s potential treason and worse
Great! Final there is someone to call a spade a spade!
