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.

Best. Election. EVER!!!
It’s fun to see the one or two (apparently paid trolls) vainly trying to command the tide to stop, like King Canute, by saying “Fake News” or insulting the intelligence of the posters...
Trump has one viable option.
Send in the Marines.
Otherwise this whole thing has been a colossal waste of time.
He doesn’t stand a chance against the FBI/CIA etc., he has no control over his own Agencies, and that means UN ELECTED SPOOKS ARE IN CONTROL OF THE GOVERNMENT AND OUR TAX DOLLARS.
So far the only winners here a year in are Goldman Sachs and corporations.
Now would be a good time for Trump to declare a State of Emergency, drop a MOAB on Congress and start rounding up domestic enemies Erdogan style.
Hell, I’d pay all kinds of extra taxes if he could pull that off.
Hell, even a retarded bus driver from Venezuela has no problem keeping his Press, Supreme Court, Congress, and domestic opposition under control.
They don’t fear Trump, and if he doesn’t make them do so soon, it’s all over.
So classic. Thank you for that. rofl
What's the old joke about Stzrok not wanting to use a bookmark because he prefers the Page bent over?
Gee, Redacting what?
“Mueller is our Useful Idiot. Leave him alone. He is doing more harm - more damage to himself and the Rat Party than any Repub ever could.”
I think you may have something there. My prediction is Sessions offers Comey immunity to talk. Mueller gets off scott free and this idiot Strozk takes the fall for everything.
I agree. I’m beginning to understand that Trump’s main strategy is to give his enemies the rope with which they proceed to hang themselves...
There is no outlet for it to be brought into the sunlight..that is the tragedy.
It’s like waiting for a boil to burst, isn’t it. When it does, watch out!
and that action would start a civil war.
10000 texts to his workplace mistress on taxpayer money. 3 months. My goodness. When did he work?
10,000 texts is book length. You could get through it in a day.
Yep.
They’re out for blood.
Correct redone is: Then assign more employees to the job.
Welcome to today’s federal workforce. Texting little school girl overlords with no concept of purpose besides pay me.
Correct response, that is
