One of the most disturbing text messages sent between disgraced former FBI agent Peter Strzok and his lover, FBI lawyer Lisa Page, mentioned an “insurance policy” that would take hold if Trump were to somehow win the 2016 election. And now Rudy Giuliani, who is serving as the president’s chief legal counsel, says he believes that he knows exactly what that text was referring to.
“All those texts from Strzok and Page — deleted?” Giuliani said in an interview with Fox News on Sunday. “After they find out that Strzok is texting that he hates Trump, that he’s going to get him and stop him — and that if he can’t stop him, he has an ‘insurance policy’ to get him out of office. I believe Mueller is the insurance policy to get him out of office. I’m not just saying that — Strzok was his first investigator.”
Giuliani said that he has suspicions about the DOJ IG report that concludes the text messages were the victim of a site-wide technical glitch. He believes that someone, upon discovering the content of the messages, took it upon themselves to illegally and unethically wipe Strzok and Page’s phones so that their anti-Trump bias would never see the light of day.
“The person who determined what to eliminate was Mueller’s records officer, who says there was nothing of interest there,” Giuliani said. “It’s hard to believe Strzok and Page suddenly decided, ‘We’re not going to text anymore about Donald Trump.’ They seemed to be obsessively and compulsively texting about him. I don’t know what kind of lovers they were if they were texting about that all the time. It’s ridiculous.”
Giuliani was asked if he expects Mueller’s report to be out soon; he said he wasn’t holding his breath.
“Oh gosh, almighty — first he was coming out in March, then in May — we’re now in fourth degree of separation from the non-crime of collusion,” Giuliani said. “We went to the non-crime of obstruction of justice, that didn’t work out for them. Then he moved on to campaign contributions, which by the way are not violative of the campaign finance law. And then they’re looking at now the Russia tower. They should go to Moscow. There is no tower. It didn’t get built. It didn’t get beyond a nonbinding letter of intent, which is like a wish.
“My ultimatum is ‘put up or shut up, Bob,’” Giuliani continued, addressing Mueller directly. “I mean, what do you have? There are those who believe you don’t have anything on collusion. And, by the way, even if you did it’s not a crime – so what the heck are you doing? Do you have anything that shows the President of the United States was involved in a conspiracy to hack the DNC with Russia? Of course you don’t. If you do, put out a report, or give it to the Justice Department, let them review it, make sure it’s not classified or whatever, put out a report. We’re ready to rebut it. I’ve had the report ready for two months.”
I don’t think Mueller was the original insurance policy mentioned in the text messages. My take is they probably were spying on the Trump from the onset of his campaign. Manafort hadn’t even been announced publicly as a campaign advisor at the time the text was sent by Strzok.
An innocent man, the President, is being attacked by criminals attempting to use the law to take him out and HE CAN DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. We’re not headed ‘there’ we have arrived. At this point anyone who thinks that the Republicans aren’t in on it is a sadly credulous person. Trump knows he’s up against it and he is trying to avoid bloodshed. Pray for him...
bkmk
Good, Rudy.
guess you mean, “Why didn’t HE” ...? Baffling. Frustrating. Infuriating. Why didn’t he?”
As Sherlock Holmes said ‘eliminate the impossible and what is left, however impossible, is the answer”. Trump does nor have the power we gave him as the entire establishment and all of its parts are in mutiny. ANY THING he does against the plotters will be used to impeach...and the Republicans will, “regretfully”, will be right there. Trump KNOWS that ONLY by exercising the FULL powers of his office could he move against the coup plotters. Trump is presently deluding himself that he can finesse these unAmerican filth. Trump thinks like we do. He would put them in jail.
IMPROBABLE.
“ANY THING he does against the plotters will be used to impeach”
He’s already there — x 10; what’s one more THING? What has he got to lose?
The deep state never lets evidence get in the way of a lynching.
Sounds like an opening offer in the negotiation of a surrender. Now just to figure out which side is surrendering.
Of course Obama pick Horowitz is part of the Deep State and a protector of the Insurance Policy.
"Site-wide technical glitch" my rear end.
Forty years ago, coming off the heels of the Watergate episode, the United States began experimenting with independent counsels to investigate executive branch officials. The investigations that followed over the next 40 years were highly political and caused serious division in America. The current investigation into the president is no different
What has he got to lose?
He’s the guy on the hotseat. He’s the guy on whose watch the 40 yrs neglected edifice collapses. He’s the President who may be forced to use force or extreme powers against a united front of media and gov’t. Takes balls and there’s no turning back.
Yes. More accurate.
It is not a security blanket; it is an insecurity blanket: That is, I now have no sense of security that the Federal government enacts justice at all, due to Sessions being the insurance policy.
The lasting damage that Sessions did to the rule of law, due process, and the Constitutional Rights of American citizens, by recusing himself from a counter-intelligence investigation while pretending it was a criminal investigation (and then citing an irrelevant statute), is almost incalculable.
There was no predicate crime. Rosenstein and Mueller both have more severe and multiple conflicts of interest than Sessions ever had.
A real AG could indeed have stopped this travesty at the outset. Calling it an empty set is an empty argument.
I am sure glad he told this rube something he already had figured out months and months ago. /s
And your answer? Empty set.
