The FBIs top agent on the Trump-Russia investigation sent a text message last year that one top Republican senator says suggests he saw no evidence of Trump campaign collusion.
The text message, which was sent by Peter Strzok, is jaw-dropping, Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said in a radio interview on Tuesday.
In an interview with WISN-Milwaukee radio host Jay Weber, Johnson read aloud a May 19, 2017 text that Strzok sent to Lisa Page, an FBI lawyer and his mistress.
Strzok wrote: You and I both know the odds are nothing. If I thought it was likely, Id be there no question. I hesitate in part because of my gut sense and concern that theres no big there there.
Johnson said that the text referred to the Mueller investigation, which had kicked off two days earlier. Strzok joined that team, but was removed in July after the Justice Departments inspector general discovered his anti-Trump text exchanges with Page.
As the FBIs deputy counterintelligence chief, Strzok was picked in July 2016 to oversee the investigation into possible Trump campaign collusion with the Russian government. Prior to that, he was a top investigator on the Clinton email inquiry.

As is the case with witch hunts.
So he’s saying the odds of Trump-Russia collusion were nothing? And that’s why he hesitated to join Mueller’s team?
What an interesting way to put it!
The only way Strzok could know THAT is if he participated in or was a witness to the creation of the fraudulent evidence.
Ya know, as salacious and damning and treasonous all of this is, it doesn’t matter, because nothing will be done. If the GOP was on our side, the FISA abuses memo would already be public. We wouldn’t be talking about evidence to put Hitlery behind bars. She’s already be there. We’re talking about an entire group of people, in the House & Senate - SUPPOSED good people like Ted Cruz - who have know all this time about the “shushfund”, and they kept it quiet. Congress is NOT on our side. The GOP is NOT on our side. None of this matters, in the end, because it will be made headline news, and then go away, yet the practices will continue.
Mueller is a criminal.
IOW, he thought it was a waste of time if they couldn’t bring Trump down...............
Before he drank from the Suicide Punch Bowl.
IOW, he thought it was a waste of time if they couldn’t bring Trump down...............
The text gives coverage to Mueller as just an ill informed and misguided bureaucrat- set up on a wild goose chase by the seditionists and coup plotters in DOJ.
Color me skeptical
This says Strzok left Team meuller in July 2017. Yesterday an article said August 2017. Lisa Page was hired in june 2017. No one knows when or how she left Team Meuller. These dates have significance. What were Strzok and page;s status when sending texts AND working for Meuller.
It was all about propaganda that the Democratic media and the Democratic party could endlessly kick around as “fact” for political advantage.
It depends on what the meaning of the word “is” is.
Strzok had to know that there was no collusion since he was involved in the phony Steele dossier.
We’re still eating crumbs—I want them prosecuted for the stuff they should be prosecuted for!
Yep........................
Per the ‘Rats patron saint... it was Stalins feared NKVD henchman, Lavrentiy Beria, who assured his boss, Show me the man and Ill find you the crime.
