Watchdog reveals how ex-Mueller agents' anti-Trump texts came to light
Fox News ^ | Dec 13, 2017 | Samuel Chamberlain

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Special Counsel Robert Mueller were told in July that two FBI officials working on Mueller's Russia probe had exchanged a number of anti-Trump text messages throughout the 2016 campaign, according to the Justice Department's watchdog.

DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz revealed the information one day after Fox News obtained more than 375 of the messages between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page. The messages were published ahead of Rosenstein's Wednesday appearance before the House Judiciary Committee.

Strzok, a former deputy to the assistant director for counterintelligence at the FBI, was fired by Mueller and reassigned to the FBI’s human resources division after the exchanges with Page were discovered. Page was briefly on Mueller’s team, but has since returned to the FBI.

Who is the “Justice department watchdog”? I don’t think there is a position with that official title.

In the past, Judicial Watch has been the source of most data that has driven changes in the DOJ-FBI story. Is it Judicial Watch this time? Or someone else?

Let’s see the earliest anti-Trump email. Everyone knew about the affair by then along with the anti-Trump rhetoric. It’s typical water cooler talk.

Why? Because they were following orders. They can tell who’s orders they were.

"So look, you say we text on that phone when we talk about Hillary because it can't be traced," Page wrote.

Can't be traced? I wonder if this brainiac Page is typical of the caliber of FBI agent; arrogant, but stupid.

Who was the first casualty of the war?
Seth Rich?
Vince Foster?
Some early Arkancide we never heard of?

Traditional foxholes and trenches warfare was replaced by asymetric guerilla warfare.

Will asymetric warfare now be replaced by Arkancide (or whatever sexy name is created to describe Arkancide)?

"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," said Strzok, possibly referring to then-Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe.
"It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40."

So what were Strzok and Page and McCabe planning?

A Trump execution?

What other path would ensure "That there’s no way [Trump] gets elected"?

And rather than bring these people up on charges McCabe was actually part of the conspiracy.

But he is still there, drawing a salary and screwing over the constitution he is sworn to protect.

McCabe, Strzok and Page belong in prison along with with Hillary and Obama and every last one of their dirty tricksters.

Note the very deliberate attempt to cover up their plotting. These two were showing off to each other as they disabled the Hillary investigation and plotted to destroy Trump. And their texts outed McCabe. These are all the “professionals” Rtosenstein keeps defending.

None of this is illegal. It is collusion, which isn’t illegal. It is ethically wrong, again, not illegal.

There is only one thing that will take every one of these people down. Was a FISA warrant issued based on the dossier? Who signed the warrant? Who authorized the warrant
? And, who commissioned the dossier to be used for gaining a FISA warrant?

It looks like the Ohr’s are going to be the fall guys in all of this. They need to start looking at their financials to see if they received payment from someone.

Anyone realize Page may be a plant who was working Strzok in more ways than one? He was the head of counter intelligence.

Get ready. The next 31 days are going to be joyous. McCabe, Strzok, Lisa Page, Ohr and Ohr, and plenty others are going down hard.

There are several investigations going on behind the scenes by the White Hats. Sessions is in on it. I was wrong about him. He’s a White Hat and really is in the loop.

The Purge is happening!!!

Oh yeah, Schiff sure is quiet these days, eh?

I look forward to Strzok taking the 5th 100X in a row, as he’s asked what he meant by the Wal-Mart comment and all the others. On national TV.

I look forward to seeing a hooded Strzok climbing the steps to the gallows where he will hang by the neck until dead.

Once pronounced dead, attach a placard reading "TRAITOR" to his corpse.

And yes, on national TV.

“Sessions is in on it.”

Sure, in your dreams.
Back to reality, Sessions is worthless, when will you finally realize it ?

Ok, I am going to throw this out there.....NOT CONFIRMED....but Mega Anon posted 3 pictures, a copy of a conversation on a chat site, last night that is purported to be deep state talking on a tor site that automatically deletes the conversation after a few minutes whether you are done talking or not. She suggested this is how the deep state were all plotting and coordinating to take Trump out.

Now if they somehow actually captured those conversations as she suggests.....

The second little noticed thing that happened recently is that Obama's presidential library no longer has the physical documents of his administration, it only has computer copies while the hard copies are now in the hands of NARA, National Archives and Records Administration. Obama's library is the only one run by a foundation not the National Archives. Hmmmmm.....

I just updated the coup chart, based on what I read in Conservative Treehouse about Bill Priestep.

If Horowitz is dirty,which wouldn’t surprise me since he was appointed in the Obama administration, the republic is toast. If the rats, deep state and msm stooges get away with such obvious treachery it will be SOP from now on. The people of this country will be as defenseless as the Russians were versus the Soviet state and their internal security organs.

From what I’m reading, Horowitz is leaking selected material before each black hat hearing (Rosenstein is a black hat) in order to do maximum damage to them in the court of public opinion. This indicates Horowitz is a white hat.

Matt Bracken’s Enemies Foreign and Domestic trilogy describes where we’re heading unless the current administration delivers Ceaucescu-style justice to those committing treason and sedition.

Letting FBI agents take the fall while the Clintons, Obamas, Soros, et al. roam free is a non-starter for preserving what’s left of the republic. At some point, there will be guerrilla warfare (snipers, etc.).

Not advocating it...just seeing where things are headed...like the inevitable collision of those trains in a tunnel in Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged.

Yesterday Jim Jordon all but told Rod Rosenstein that he believes a political coup is ongoing. Rosenstein reacted in his best bureaucratic way. It seems our FBI has changed into the Stasi overnight so unfortunately things will only get worse. Trump absolutely has to step in quickly.
