Russia 'Absolutely' Tried to Infiltrate Mar-a-Lago: Former FBI Official
Newsweek ^ | 8/28/22 | Xander Landen

Posted on 08/28/2022 5:23:08 PM PDT by UMCRevMom@aol.com

Former FBI official Peter Strzok said in an interview that foreign intelligence services in countries, including Russia, have been "absolutely" interested in gaining access to former President Donald Trump's Florida property, Mar-a-Lago.

Strzok's comments come after the FBI raided the property earlier this month as part of an investigation into whether Trump potentially mishandled classified information.

During his interview, Katie Phang asked Strzok if he believes it's a possibility that the Russians would have been interested and "possibly tried to infiltrate" Mar-a-Lago.

"Well Katie, absolutely the Russians, but not just the Russians, any competent foreign intelligence service, whether that's those belonging to China, those belonging to Iran, to Cuba, certainly including Russia, are all...interested in gaining access to Mar-a-Lago," Strzok responded.

Strzok was fired from the FBI after text messages from 2016 were released revealing anti-Trump remarks between himself and FBI lawyer Lisa Page. He has remained a critic of the former president, and published a book in 2020 titled Compromised: Counterintelligence and the Threat of Donald J. Trump.

During his interview, Strzok said that foreign intelligence services are "going to have been trying to gain access" to Mar-a-Lago during and after Trump's presidential administration.

"And that's absolutely the sort of thing that the U.S. intelligence community and the FBI in particular are going to concerned about what they need to do to mitigate any sort of damage that might [have] occurred," he added.

During an interview on Friday, veteran Republican political strategist Karl Rove said that Secret Service officials could have been the mole.

The ex-president has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, and accused the FBI of corruption, although the federal agency is currently led by Director Christopher Wray, whom Trump nominated to the position. The former president also said that the FBI search was targeting him and his family.

Peter Strzok says what?
Pete and Big Jim Comey and Andrew McCabe are three of the people who taught me not to trust the FBI at face value.
There are many others in that group.

Strzok and his associates were the architects of the lies that constituted the Russian collusion allegation that were the basis of phony FISA applications, targeted innocent people, wrecked lives and attempted to overturn the 2016 election.

This guy literally talked about having an “insurance plan” if Trump should get elected. He’s 100% not credible.

To boil this moron’s statements down;

“We (the FBI) knew Russia was trying to infiltrate a President’s home and inner circle so we (the FBI) investigated the President with every resource we had.”

Of course the truth is everything Strzok said is bovine flatulence and CYA gaslighting.

Competent gubmit officials would know that the ONLY party stupid and bumbling enough to be easily infiltrated by every enemy is the RAT party.

How’s the Hillabeast uranium deal with the Russians doing?
And Dorkbama/Biden’s aid to the Iranians doing?
And has the NYT every retracted the lies they told about the famines done by the Russians to their farmers in the 30s?
Of course, hell, no!

Of course various countries tried to infiltrate Mar a Lago. Duh, as the kids used to say. We already know the Chinese tried several times, and some liberal nutjob with a boat tried to as well. Foreign Intel services like China’s infiltrated Feinstein’s staff, and Pakistan had an entire team, the As an brothers, infiltrating the House of Representatives right under Nancy Pelosi’s nose. And the Russians had a spy ring that infiltrated the US government, reportedly aiming to woo Clinton with some lesbo. Then Huma Ages in already had...

Oh, but they never tried to infiltrate Clinton’s place in Chapaqua?
