The Mueller special counsel investigation was launched to probe charges that the key FBI officials developing evidence in the case thought were baseless. That's a bombshell accusation that appears to have been confirmed by lovebird-turned-songbird Lisa Page, according to John Solomon.
It tends to confirm the suspicion that the Mueller probe is a cover-up operation to obscure the criminal use of counterintelligence capabilities to spy on a rival presidential campaign and then sabotage the presidency that resulted.
Earlier reports indicated that Page has been answering questions from the House Judiciary Committee quite frankly and may even have cut a deal selling out her ex-lover Peter Strzok over their professional misbehavior (and quite possibly worse) in targeting the campaign and presidency of Donald Trump with the intelligence-gathering tools of the FBI.
Last night, John Solomon of The Hill revealed that he has obtained information from sources who heard Page's testimony in two days of sworn depositions behind closed doors that she offered a bombshell confirmation of the meaning of one of the most enigmatic text messages that the public has seen (keep in mind that there are many yet to be released).
Writing in The Hill, Solomon explains:
[T]here are just five words, among the thousands of suggestive texts Page and Strzok exchanged, that you should read.
That passage was transmitted on May 19, 2017. "There's no big there there," Strzok texted.
The date of the text long has intrigued investigators: It is two days after Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein named special counsel Robert Mueller to oversee an investigation into alleged collusion between Trump and the Russia campaign.
Since the text was turned over to Congress, investigators wondered whether it referred to the evidence against the Trump campaign.

I’m not a Sessions hater.
Thank you for this Liz.
You’re very welcome.
Was Trump’s Campaign ‘Set Up’?

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes appearing on “Fox & Friends” provided a potentially explosive hint at what’s driving his demand to see documents related to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Trump-Russia probe. “If the campaign was somehow set up,” he told the hosts, “I think that would be a problem.”

Think of the 2016 Trump-Russia narrative as two parallel strands—one politics, one law enforcement. The political side involves the actions of Fusion GPS, the Hillary Clinton campaign and Obama officials—all of whom were focused on destroying Donald Trump. The law-enforcement strand involves the FBI—and what methods and evidence it used in its Trump investigation. At some point these strands intersected—and one crucial question is how early that happened.
What may well have kicked off both, however, is a key if overlooked moment detailed in the House Intelligence Committee’s recent Russia report. In “late spring” of 2016, then-FBI Director James Comey briefed White House “National Security Council Principals” that the FBI had counterintelligence concerns about the Trump campaign. Carter Page was announced as a campaign adviser on March 21, and Paul Manafort joined the campaign March 29.

It’s long been known that Mr. Steele went to the FBI in early July to talk about the dossier, and that’s the first known intersection of the strands. But given the oddity and timing of those U.K. interactions concerning Messrs. Page and Papadopoulos, and given the history of some of the people involved in arranging them, some wonder if the two strands were converging earlier than anyone has admitted.

If I ran into Sessions on the street, I’d spit in his face.
“I’m not a Sessions hater.”
Glad to hear it.
It’s infuriating that the Left seems able to escape justice while our President must submit to a ruthless witch hunt, simply for not being a Democrat.
I understand the anger and even the tendancy to look for someone to blame, but I doubt this political double standard is a flaw in our justice system that could be corrected by having a different AG.
The double standard in political justice is just another manifestation of the nearly complete communication monopoly the Left has enjoyed for most of a century.
Free Republic is a rare exception, and Trump’s honest tweets are another. Between these two fronts and a few other patches of sunlight, the hypocrisy of the Left is being exposed and their narratives are slowly unwinding.
Only when the Left is knocked off its media perch will the voting public see clearly to hold Leftist politicians accountable for their transgressions, and to reassert the founding principles of individual liberty and limited government.
I don’t think Page wants to count on Rosenstein or anybody else in that cabal. She knows how untrustworthy they are. No, I think she’s cooperating. The question is whether she’s holding anything back. But if she is, they can pull whatever deal they made with her.
Thanks SeekAndFind.
Now it’s leaked. Watch the airports for some hasty exits.
This is not true based on the actions and support for Mueller and Rosenstein from Ryan, McConnell, Graham, Rubio, McCain. To these people they are saints as pure as the new fallen snow.
Bttt.
