FBI texts reveal anti-Trump, pro-Clinton comments (WaPo!)
Washington Post ^ | 12/12/2017 | Devlin Barret

Texts between two senior FBI officials involved in both the probe of Hillary Clinton’s emails and possible connections between Trump associates and Russia show the pair frequently discussed their political views, their intense dislike of candidate Donald Trump and their fear he might win.

A review of the texts between senior FBI agent Peter Strzok and senior FBI lawyer Lisa Page were sent to lawmakers Tuesday night. The texts are the subject of an ethics investigation by the Justice Department’s inspector general, and they show the senior officials repeatedly offering harsh opinions about political figures. Among many other comments, the two called Trump “an idiot.”(snip)

During the Clinton investigation, Strzok was involved in a romantic relationship with Page, who worked for Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, according to people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.

The extramarital affair was problematic, those people said, but of greater concern among senior law enforcement officials were text messages the two exchanged during the Clinton investigation and campaign season in which they expressed anti-Trump sentiments and other comments that appeared to favor Clinton.(snip)

On March 4, 2016, Page texted, “God, Trump is a loathsome human,’’ to which Strzok replied, “Yet he may win.’’ Strzok then added, “Good for Hillary,’’ to which Page replied, “It is.’’

That conversation, which takes place after 2 a.m., includes Strzok texting, “God, Hillary should win 100,000,000-0.’’

That same night, Page notes Trump’s comment about the size of his hands and says, “This man can not be president.’’

This tells me the FBI doesn’t realize how e-mails work.

“Yeah, those comments “appear” to favor Clinton. Sheesh. “

Having published over fifty articles in the local paper I can tell you that even if the author wrote it one way, by the time it makes it into print it has the paper’s political flavor. I wasn’t allowed to write anything considered news because, I was informed, the paper had people who were “specially” trained on how to report the news. I wrote in the Homes section. The paper’s advertisers, mostly real estate related, paid the paper to publish pro-business articles highlighting the advertiser’s products. When I’d ask why something had been changed the answer was invariably along the line, “Oh, that was just too pro-corporation.”

Remember that it was just a little later when Demos were all giddy over the death of Scalia.

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

Too bad Flynn didn’t know all this before he took a plea. Or, maybe he did.

I guess the WaPo is letting the news out because they figure that they’ll get rid of Trump through women claiming inappropriate behavior

Which one decides to go John Dean before someone else does?

That chart sure is getting full...

I’m guessing that several already have gone John Dean and may be wearing wires or baiting the others via text etc.

People are going to prison over this.

I will not be surprised if one or more of the black hats goes for a one-way canoe trip on the Potomac.

They don’t seem to mention the “insurance” against Trump’s win that these two Hillary-lovers had talked about with Andy McCabe. That’s the real smoking gun in this nasty business of FBI scheming against the American people.

That would be fitting and just, and ironic too. I hear there are some treacherous waters on the Potomac, although I've only been there once when mom and dad took me to D.C. on vacation long ago.

I'm interested in what justice finds the person(s) at the top of that chart... although we would have no way of knowing whether they're is into canoeing or not, just yet.

Whomever they might be...
