Deep State: Lisa Page, Peter Strzok Conducted FBI’s Review to Classify Comey’s Memos
Breitbart ^ | 1 Sep 2019 | Aaron Klein

Posted on 09/01/2019 6:22:17 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

NEW YORK — Former FBI employees Lisa Page and Peter Strzok, the once romantically-linked duo infamous for their anti-Trump text messages, conducted the initial agency review of disgraced ex-FBI chief James Comey’s memos to determine whether the documents contained any potentially classified information.

Working on the initial classification review with Page and Strzok was another member of Comey’s inner circle, James A. Baker, the former FBI general counsel.

Those details were contained inside the report released last Thursday by the Justice Department’s inspector-general.

The IG report related that Strzok characterized himself, Page, Baker, and the Unit Chief of the FBI’s Counterintelligence Law Unit in the FBI’s Office of General Counsel as a “logical subset to sit and go through” Comey’s memos memorializing his conversations with Trump to determine classification.

Strzok told the FBI that it made sense that this team conducted the initial classification review because the members had a lot of “history and experience of working investigations relating to … the disclosure of classified information,” including the FBI’s Clinton email investigation.

That would be the same Clinton email investigation that became the subject of a separate 500-plus page IG report in June 2018 that was highly critical of actions taken by Comey and his team.

Alex Jones had this on a couple of days ago. He pointed out they were provided a bunch of memos of Coney’s. And then asked to classify them appropriately. Any that he had shared were deemed “not classified” into secret categories. The game was deliberately rigged to ensure Comey shared nothing classified by first figuring out what he had disseminated.

You know if one of the dimms does get elected president, his nomination for head of the fbi will be Strzok.

The final Mueller report is more than an exoneration of Trump. It’s a searing indictment of Obama's FBI.......
and a reminder that we, the people, not only need to know ....we demand to know....the sordid details behind
this unprecedented attack on a presidential candidate.

WHAT ELSE WERE THEY PLANNING? As Rep. Jim Jordan (Repub-OH) said, text messages between Page and Strzok, reveal FBI views of Trump that were more
than just biased, they actually show “animus” toward the president.

The attack on Trump was not individuals acting alone.
The sinister plot was orchestrated by a sitting president with plenty to hide.

The Halfrican desperately needed Hillary to win......to sweep the wrongdoing under the rug. US intel was used for sinister purposes.

REMINDER US intel is there to protect the safety and security of Americans. It is not a political tool.

Testifying before Congress, Lisa Page said if she ‘had it all to do over’
she ‘wouldn’t write all that s*** down’ on the FBI computer to be discovered later

Report: Lisa Page revealed under oath that there was no basis for Mueller's appointment
FR Posted on 7/20/2018, 11:35:51 AM by SeekAndFind

The Mueller special counsel investigation was launched to probe charges that the key FBI officials developing evidence in the case thought were baseless. That's a bombshell accusation that appears to have been confirmed by lovebird-turned-songbird Lisa Page, according to John Solomon. It tends to confirm the suspicion that the Mueller probe is a cover-up operation to obscure the criminal use of counterintelligence capabilities to spy on a rival presidential campaign and then sabotage the presidency that resulted.

Earlier reports indicated that Page has been answering questions from the House Judiciary Committee quite frankly and may even have cut a deal selling out her ex-lover Peter Strzok over their professional misbehavior (and quite possibly worse) in targeting the campaign and presidency of Donald Trump with the intelligence-gathering tools of the FBI.

John Solomon of The Hill revealed that he has obtained information from sources who heard Page's testimony in two days of sworn depositions behind closed doors that she offered a bombshell confirmation of the meaning of one of the most enigmatic text messages that the public has seen (keep in mind that there are many yet to be released). Writing in The Hill, Solomon explains: [T]here are just five words, among the thousands of suggestive texts Page and Strzok exchanged, that you should read. That passage was transmitted on May 19, 2017. "There's no big there there," Strzok texted.

The date of the text long has intrigued investigators: It is two days after Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein named special counsel Robert Mueller to oversee an investigation into alleged collusion between Trump and the Russia campaign. Since the text was turned over to Congress, investigators wondered whether it referred to the evidence against the Trump campaign. (Excerpt) Read more at americanthinker.com …

I wonder if the Deep State says phases like ‘I'll make sure ‘our’ people handle this.’ Or ‘I'll get one of ‘our’ guys to take care of it.’ Because at this level of corruption, you can't slip up and hand over an operation to honest people. Because an honest man might tip off someone that might actually do something about this.

Kinda like the way Andrew Weissmann led the Mueller investigation on Trump.

Imagine appointing Hillary to investigate the Benghazi attacks, or the Hillary e-mail scandal.

Nope...not a one. They’re corrupt to the core...all the way down to thru the rank & file...and probably even to the janitor as well. Not one whistle blower in all of this...not one....none. They’re worse than the moslems. If one of them even asked me for the time of day, I’d immediately plead the 5th and run like hell.

James Comey, John Brennan, James Clapper, and Mike Rogers met with President-Elect Donald Trump at the Trump Tower on 06 January 2017.

After the group meeting ended, Comey asked the others to leave so that he could speak alone to President-Elect Trump.

Comey disclosed confidential information about the Steele Dossier. Afterwards, he began his memorializing.

In what world of actual rule of law would such a private, official meeting between a high-ranking Intelligence Community Director and a President-Elect - which included information that the Director implied should not be made public - NOT automatically classified?

If that trap had been set and sprung on President-Elect Obama in 2009 or 2013, then both sides of the UniParty cabal would have immediately proclaimed any secret memo of it as unarguably a classified document by default, and unassailably a violation of presidential prerogative.

RINOpublicans would have tripped over themselves to say, I may not like Obama, but we cannot have Intelligence Officers doing this to an elected President!
