It looks like Putin conned the FBI into the ‘Russiagate’ probe
New York Post ^ | April 13, 2020

Posted on 04/15/2020 11:42:38 AM PDT by nickcarraway

It is becoming increasingly clear that the Russia investigation launched and conducted by James Comey’s Federal Bureau of Investigation deserves to rank as one of the agency’s great blunders — at best.

President Trump famously calls the probe a hoax, a label he uses liberally, but in this instance, it may literally be true.

We’ve spent years obsessing about Russian meddling in our politics, and now it turns out that the original FBI investigation into the Trump campaign that morphed into the Mueller probe may have been instigated, in part, by Russian disinformation.

BS....this is what they want us to believe. The FBI was well aware that Putin plays games. This is the line they want us to accept so it doesn’t look nefarious.

Conned may be too strong a word.

The FBI, the Clintons, the Obama DOJ and State Department willingly went along with this scam.

Hell, they bought and paid for this disinformation.

Putin, between his U.S. social media trolls input and the Steele Dossier’s disinformation was playing all American sides against all American sides - aiding the sowing of division in the American polity - seeking to make any POTUS victor internally weaker agsint a divided public. Putin got exactly what he wanted - a divided America.

Look for Dan Bongino’s video posted today. He shows texts between Strozk and Page that blow this Compost headline out of the water. In 2016 they were acknowledging Putin’s games.....and now they want us to believe they were duped?

It all comes back to Obama and he should be in prison for the rest of his life.

It is almost comical to imagine that Putin and Russia would have preferred Trump over Hillary as the Chief Executive of the United States and the Commander in Chief over our military forces. Absolutely absurd.

Didn’t take much “conning” I am sure. “You can’t cheat an honest man”

My money is on Brennan playing the con by using Russia, not Putin. What did Putin have to lose with Hillary winning?

I doubt this story is true, but if it is, all I can say is “good for Putin.”

Every time I saw Peter Strzok in 2017-18, I thought: “this arrogant, ass-kissing, political-hack and DC swamp creature is head of our national counter-intelligence at the FBI???? Holy shit - America is screwed.”

Just a quick review of his texts and emails that were released showed he must have literally spent all his time on damaging Trump and navigating inter-agency politics. Catching foreign spies was clearly the least of his worries.

If that’s the best American Government and the FBI can produce at spycraft - then this nation deserves everything it gets.
