Strzok Texts Should Shut Down the Russia Investigation
Townhall ^ | June 16, 2018 | Thomas J. Farnan

Posted on 06/16/2018 10:30:11 AM PDT by ColtMeadows

In a sane world, if the Justice Department’s internal watchdog discovered that the FBI official who began a counterintelligence investigation into an opposition party’s presidential candidate texted his lover a few days later that “we’ll stop” the candidate’s election, it would cause immediate action.

At a minimum, the counterintelligence investigation – now in the hands of a special prosecutor – would be suspended pending further review of its reasons and sources, the entire sordid enterprise suddenly appearing to be the fruit of a very poisonous tree.

Washington, unfortunately, is not a sane world.

NOTHING shuts down an inquisition as long as the accused is still alive.

But we have to get to the bottom of how our own government changed to influence and alter the outcome of an election and them blame it on Russia, right Bob?

Nothing to do with Strozok — But I wonder how much people will tolerate from this Justice Dept we pay for, don’t you?

“Strzok Texts Should Shut Down the Russia Investigation”

Not as long as Mueller is running DOJ.

Lest you think anyone cares, see the anemic response to the whitehouse.gov petition to release unredacted IG report.

But the IG report conclusion shows no bias, right?

Even Strzok’s texts about stopping Trump are being twisted to assume that Strzok had information on the Russian collusion, and that is why Trump has to be stopped.

Even Fox News is putting that spin out there ( Shepard and even Cavuto ) despite the fact that another Strzok text says that there isn’t anything there to the collusion charges. Cavuto really disappoints me. I thought he was a better and more honest man.

It’s beyond sickening. The democrats are the Teufel, and the media is even worse if that is possible.

The next step is for all of the defendants in the various Mueller cases to subpoena the FBI to turn over every document and electronic communication related to Strzok, Page, etc. — and to depose both of those mutants as well.

“But I wonder how much people will tolerate from this Justice Dept we pay for, don’t you?”

The FBI has 35,000 employees and a budget of almost 9 billion they deign to tell us about. I doubt anything will happen to change the culture of the DoJ or FBI at this point. I think it is too probably big and the public is too disengaged.

A kakistocracy of leftist judges all the way to the SCOTUS would work to prevent prevent the seditionist “Russian investigation” from being shut down and those who instigated it from being brought to justice.

So far, the “Russia” evidence I have seen is unconvincing:

- Yes, the White House menu included Russian dressing for the salads more than once,

- Yes, President Trump’s son, Eric, has been known to drink both Ruskova and Stolichnaya Vodkas, both Russian brands,

Yes, Melania ate borscht, a Russian soup, back before she immigrated to the United States.

While each of those by itself is more than enough to justify impeachment, in the eyes of every Democrat and RINO in Congress, even in combination they are not enough for me to conclude “collusion” (which is in any case not a crime, but who cares about details when you have a narrative?).

Shut down the Mueller investigations?

DOJ oversight?

Congressional oversight?

Judicial oversight?

‘’’’’’’’’

It’s actually not very hard at all.

What’s Hard, is making it feel Hard.

I see an interesting parallel. The same people who took the power to determine the Hillary Clinton email scandal away from the Attorney General Loretta Lynch also usurped Attorney General Jeff Session’s power by installing Special Prosecutor, Bob Mueller. We have a rouge group who has grabbed power for themselves; like something we see in a banana republic.

I’d go the other way around.
Charge Strzok.
Mueller must then testify.

Probably not until the next IG Report comes out that focuses on the Russian investigation.

I'm going to point this out again.

The reason the IG made the absurd assertion that Strzok, et al, were not "poltically motivated" is because...

If so much as ONE of these FBIBERS - Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page, Agents 1-5 - is charged with a crime, MUELLER MUST TESTIFY WHAT HE KNEW ABOUT THE ANTI-TRUMP CABAL AND WHEN HE KNEW IT.

Game. Over.

Shepard is a homo and Cavuto is a Wall Street globalist still. What did you expect?

The goal, then, is to bring charges against at least ONE of the FBI Anti-Trump Cabal: McCabe.

McCabe is the right choice because Comey has already lied about McCabe's actions; McCabe has lied about his own actions; and Mueller knew what McCabe was doing, through Comey.

At that point DOJ can flip Comey with immunity, who has apparently finally figured out that the DemDeepState uses people up and has no further use for them. You can smell his fear right now for sure.

McCabe can then point the finger right back at Comey (per the illegal, Soviet-style "Insurance Policy" meeting), and testify that Comey was receptive to the "Insurance Policy" idea. Which he most certainly was.

That's the ballgame right there. A GOP Supermajority will have to order another Church Committee [United States Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities] to dismantle the current FBI, and create an entirely new domestic investigative agency under the auspices of Homeland Security ie Trump people top-to-bottom.
