Justice Department officials are reading through “over 10,000 texts” between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, Fox News has learned, after it emerged Strzok was removed from Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe following the discovery of anti-Trump messages between them.
Department of Justice officials told Fox News they are in the process of going through the texts so they can hand them over to the House Intelligence Committee.
Strzok, who was an FBI counterintelligence agent, had worked on the Mueller probe, but was reassigned to the FBI’s human resources department after the discovery of anti-Trump text messages with Page, with whom he was having an affair. Page was briefly on Mueller’s team, but since has returned to the FBI.
The disclosure of those messages revived Republican concerns about the objectivity of Mueller’s probe.
It’s unclear whether a significant number of the 10,000 texts have anything to do with Trump or the probe itself.
Justice Department officials say the process of reading and redacting the texts could take “weeks,” and that the thousands of text messages between Strzok and Page span over “several months.”
The review process comes as the committee also threatens to move forward with a contempt resolution against top DOJ and FBI officials barring an imminent breakthrough — after the agencies did not comply with a deadline to hand over long-sought information that goes well beyond text messages.

“””Damn....his wife is probably thinking she’d like to get those text messages too. This has to be tough on this arsehole. He gets exposed as a corrupt FBI agent and his affair gets exposed to his family AND his text messages between his girlfriend and him get read by his co-workers.”””
Likewise, Page’s husband now has the evidence to get a major payoff in the upcoming divorce.
As usual the divorce lawyers will be the big winners.
My thoughts exactly....if it involved hillary, comey would have already exonerated her. I would love to discover comey’s name on a blatantly partisan text.
I'm sure they are. Fortunately we can trust senior members of the DoJ such as Comey, Sessions, Mueller... Oh, wait, no we can't. Face it - that information is being scrubbed just as fast and as hard as the yet undetected corrupt can scrub it.
It's time for an independent counsel and non-DoJ staff who are NOT Clinton donors to take custody of the raw data if it isn't already too late. The DoJ cannot be trusted to investigate itself. That's what got them, and us, into this mess. The corruption is too deep and the pattern of evidence suppression, laundering, and outright destruction is far too well-established for any trust in this matter.
It took Mueller 14 minutes to bring indictments and we’re still waiting on Benghazi.
This will take months. Why?
They still have lots of evidence to destroy. Like everywhere.
Mueller is going to be in the hot seat. More popcorn please.
lol
Why do the most informed folk in America(freepers) have any hope whatsoever this will get Mueller the FbI or any of the deep state figures, the deep state are the ones doing the investigating.
LoL. Meh 2 to 3 texts in 10 years.
The Swamp will be completely drained in about two weeks.
...but, but, but, but Muëller and Comey were/are unbiased officers of the law!
</extreme sarc>
Did FBI agent Peter Strzok investigate Loretta Fuddy’s death?
“...going through the texts so they can hand them over to the House Intelligence Committee.”
And what good will that do? I’m doubtful that anything will come of it. Too many deep-staters and Trump haters in the House. Not holding my breath (but dreaming).
Oh great, Jeff Sessions “Justice” department is sorting through them. Yup, they can be trusted.
“he writes about getting off on her gums. We don’t need to see those”
Everyone ABSOLUTELY needs to see them if they want to. The more disgusting the content, the more people need to be informed.
have you seen her gums?
2) They are leftists. They viewed those as their work.
Her teeth are like stars...
Sessions can be trusted to delay any investigation for years until it becomes “moot”.
