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.

“Fox News obtained more than 375 of the messages between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page”

It doesn’t say how Fox got them. Maybe Sarah Carter. She seems to have a insider patriot working with her.

Time to dissolve the FBI. It’s just another form of organized crime.

“It doesn’t say how Fox got them.”

There is an ugly game going on in DC, and I suspect it will continue escalating. The Left will continue weaponizing government, and the right will oppose those abuses in whatever way they can - including these leaks. I suspect this will cross the line from a cold war to hot.

One of my questions is if the first 375 reveal all this hatred, what do the remaining 9,625+ contain?

P.S. My prediction is that the first 375 were just the tip of the iceberg. It is time to declassify all of them.

At least three face prison time over Uranium One, giving them a motive to take out Trump.

Oddly enough the tipping point wasn't the foul of mind Trump texts. It was the insult to the people who "stink of Trump who shop at Wal-Mart".

That there sets off we the people. "Attention Wal-Mart shoppers, did you hear what the heads of the FBI think of us?"

DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz might turn out to be the hero of the story.

Sessions might not be AWOL, he might quietly but powerfully be backing up the IGO investigation.

I’ve heard Sessions say he’s against special counsels, and he wants to re-establish the rule of law using the existing tools.

"So look, you say we text on that phone when we talk about Hillary because it can't be traced," Page wrote. "You were just venting, [because] you feel bad that you’re gone so much but that can’t be helped right now."

There may be less to the burner phone angle than I first thought.

My interpretation of this is:

1. Strzok's wife found the burner phone
2. Page was offering a cover story as to why she and Strzok communicated by burner phone (so pro-Hillary talk couldn't be traced).

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.

My guess?

375 texts reveal political bias and hatred against DJT
9,625 texts are lovey-dovey affair-related texts

...one day after Fox News obtained more than 375

There are 10,000 messages between these two conspirator corrupt FBI agents. We now have access to 375 of them or 3.75%. This is the tip of the iceberg. I can only imagine how damning the remaining 96% are, presuming the FBI hasn’t redacted them to oblivion.
The corruption and polarization in the FBI is worse than I imagined. The FBI is a cancer.

Has Strzok mysteriously twisted his right ankle requiring one of those medical support boots too?

He may fall and hit his head.

It will be interesting if the guy survives long enough to give testimony. Quanticocide.
