'Over 10,000 texts' between ex-Mueller officials found, after discovery of anti-Trump messages
Fox News ^

Posted on 12/06/2017 3:19:48 PM PST by springwater13

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.

I just don’t understand it. I have 800 work emails in 3 years and I think I use email a lot. How on earth can you have 10,000 and up to 600,000 (Clinton I think) and still actually work?

Every thought in your head doesn’t have to be written down, does it?

That seems to be his main function. I have started to think that he was a deep-state plant all the while.

If these messages were sent on government time using government equipment, they are government property and should all be turned over to congress for their determination on relevance. I hope Judicial Watch has already submitted their Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) request and have moved for a protective order to prohibit destruction. It would seem that if there are 10,000 messages and only 2,000 are turned over to Congress, that is a tacit admission that there is no reason to withhold or redact the remaining 8,000 from release under any FOAI request. Also, there would be no grounds to delay FOAI release as they would all already have been assembled and reviewed.

Did FBI agent Peter Strzok investigate Loretta Fuddy’s death?

Great question! There are so many dots, it's hard to connect all of them. LOL!

Sessions should call a press conference and make a public statement about who is overseeing the reading of these text messages.

Where is Sessions?

Beyond that, Sessions should fire Mueller and Rosenstein for allowing this witch hunt of an investigation.

But of course Sessions won't do that because Sessions thinks that both Rosenstein and Mueller are honorable.

The speech has already been written:

"It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice.

Ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government.

Ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.

Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess?

Ye have no more religion than my horse. Gold is your God. Which of you have not bartered your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth?

Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defiled this sacred place, and turned the Lord's temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices?

Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation. You were deputed here by the people to get grievances redressed, are yourselves become the greatest grievance.

Your country therefore calls upon me to cleanse this Augean stable, by putting a final period to your iniquitous proceedings in this House; and which by God's help, and the strength he has given me, I am now come to do.

I command ye therefore, upon the peril of your lives, to depart immediately out of this place.

Go, get you out! Make haste! Ye venal slaves be gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors.

In the name of God, go!" - Oliver Cromwell, 1653

Key words won’t help if they used code words...like :

Hillary = Crusty the Fainting Goat
Mueller = Mr. Ed
Shred = fold the yoga pants

Podesta = Puppetman

She and Strzok were reassigned about a month apart.

I’m afraid that’s probably it.

Like the delay going into Iraq was to give Russia time to move everything out to Syria.
