‘We Can’t Take That Risk’ — FBI Officials Discussed ‘Insurance Policy’ Against Trump Presidency
The Daily Caller ^ | 12/13/2017 | Chuck Ross

Posted on 12/13/2017 4:49:37 AM PST by EVO X

Two FBI officials who worked on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation exchanged text messages last year in which they appear to have discussed ways to prevent Donald Trump from being elected president.

“I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy’s office — that there’s no way [Trump] gets elected — but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk,” FBI counterintelligence official Peter Strzok wrote in a cryptic text message to Lisa Page, an FBI lawyer and his mistress.

“It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40,” Strzok wrote in the text, dated Aug. 15, 2016.

Andy is likely Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe.

They had these messages for weeks? And what has been done since? NOTHING!

We are told that DJT is excellent at the long game and using every bit of leverage to his advantage.

Suppose Admiral Rodgers briefed the then President-Elect back in November with a few nuggets of data to be unpacked at a later time.

What if Sessions hasn't been taking a nap, but has been working on the extreme down low with the faithful agents disgusted with Upper FBI Management.

What if there really is something to all of those sealed indictments?

What if - the swamp drains best when the big plunger is pulled all at once.

Excuse me but, “What if,” equates to, “continue kicking the can down the road.”

So I wonder who the “we” is that Strzok referred to.

Ohr at DOJ would be a good candidate to add to your 2 guesses..

No prison. The gallows is where these traitors should be headed.

The Deep State/FBI/NSA/Media/GOPe Complex decides who the President will be. Not you. The whole US Government is a scam. And we the people are the suckers.

CWII is coming.


French style revolution is needed and SOON. By 2020 all will be lost forever in America and we will be disarmed - trust me.

One big UNIPARTY running the country today and Trump is the lone outsider - Mitch McTurtle and Paul Rino won last night and they are celebrating this morning, knowing they will soon be in their most comfortable role as minority leaders after 2018 election.

Here is a suggestion for Trump - get out your phone and pen and start really using it like your predecessor did. Don't stand around waiting for the Uniparty Congress to hand you stuff - just TAKE IT. Your first priority must be to drain the swamp even if it means positions are vacant.

Yep. A plan to undermine in the event of a Trump victory

These people are all counter intelligence people who have signed NDAs waiving their 5th Amendment rights and specifically allowing for polygraph testing as both part of their jobs and as part of the Clinton investigation.

Time to start using that polygraph clause on these scumbags.

Admiral Rogers* went to NYC to visit President Elect Trump after the election to warn him of the surveillance and only God knows what other acts of sedition committed by the FBI/CIA against candidate Trump and now President Elect Trump and Trump’s key people.

Back then the deep state was obviously coupled with the words of sedition by Comey, Clapper and Brennan.

Since then, some of us have been saying get rid of the FBI and CIA.

After recent months, you can throw in any Obama/Clinton DOJ seditionists, who have stuck their heads up out of the swamp

It will be very ironic if the “unprecedented” and draconian NDA with on demand polygraph testing that James Comey forced all FBI agents to sign as part of the Clinton investigation really comes back to bite them

We have not seen the contents, but it is certain that it allowed for extensive polygraph testing and it is rumored to contain a clause waiving 5th Amendment Rights in matters involving the Clinton Investigation.

Stroke, McCabe and Page all would have signed the NDA

Andrew McCarthy just said on Hugh Hewitt it’s not a big deal.


I’ve had it with these two NeverTrumper’s....who’ve suddenly sprung back into overtime antiRump action, over the past few weeks.

How anyone can stomach listening to DewWitt, is beyond me.

How is secession possible when Alabama just elected a Pelosi clone?““

LOL, I just thought the same thing when I read that. Alabama threw in with The Swamp...where is that secession going to happen when Alabama lurches toward socialism and Obama-ism? They now have a pretty far left set of Senators (like most states). So if Alabama is out, what’s left...Wyoming?

Sounds like something these two Eternal Never Trumpsters would lie about!

These two swamp critters are as guilty as the rogue FBI/DOJ thugs against President Trump!

Except, they do it in the open while posing as so called conservatives.

“Smoking gun?”

It shows intent.

Nothing is “innocent” from this point forward.

“They work for us!”

Well, in reality you work for them. They take your money (and mine) and use it however they like. The master doesn’t work for the slave, he just gets the use of his labor in return for keeping him alive. Alabama just proved for us last night who really has control...those guys sitting there devising their plots.

Our American military patriots need to protect their duly elected Commander in Chief from all enemies.

What’s their insurance policy?

My guess is that it was the fictional tail being written by Steal and being used to get the FISA warrants. The timing fits.

Looks like the FBI was more involved with its original development than we have been lead to believe.

They bough a bad policy.
