‘We Can’t Take That Risk’ — FBI Officials Discussed ‘Insurance Policy’ Against Trump Presidency
The Daily Caller ^ | 12/13/2017 | Chuck Ross

Posted on 12/13/2017 4:49:37 AM PST by EVO X

Two FBI officials who worked on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation exchanged text messages last year in which they appear to have discussed ways to prevent Donald Trump from being elected president.

“I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy’s office — that there’s no way [Trump] gets elected — but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk,” FBI counterintelligence official Peter Strzok wrote in a cryptic text message to Lisa Page, an FBI lawyer and his mistress.

“It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40,” Strzok wrote in the text, dated Aug. 15, 2016.

Andy is likely Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe.

“Where is the Special Prosecutor, Mr. Sessions?”

I noticed Sessions voiced belief for the Moore accusers during his sworn testimony. Just mere accusations. Now with the mountain of evidence of corruption in the Justice Department, Sessions still doesn’t believe it rises to any actionable level.

And now this scheming seditious bureaucrat is head of FBI human resources?

Sounds innocent at first glance. But he is now the Gate-Keeper to make certain no conservatives or Trumpers are hired and that as many as possible are fired or shoved aside.

I didn’t notice this; the “path we laid out in Andy’s office”?? Was there a plot discussed to block the election of a presidential candidate in the FBI assistant director’s office??


That statement, “path we laid out in Andy’s office”, is a giant, huge, red flag. It flat says Page, McCabe, and Strzok discussed a plan as an “insurance policy” in case Trump won. They were plotting an overthrow of the government if the results of the election if it didn’t go the way they want. This is the very definition of treason.

No wonder McCabe didn’t want to testify before Congress.

Trump didn’t call Gillibrand a whore specifically but Eliabeth Warren did call her a slut.

I am really surprised that they let this get out. It is an amazing admission, the agents were politically conspiring against the president. This blows Comey out of the water either as a liar, or an incompetent not knowing the extreme bias of his agents dealing with these matters.

e there has not ever been a coup attempt... until now.

Drip...Drip...Drip

Agent McCabe, or should we say still Agent McCabe, what was that insurance proposal mentioned in your office..I remind you that you are under oath. The first person to give this panel the truth gets a better deal with us.

“What we neee is criminal trials, convictions, and very long prison terms.

We won’t get those either.”

Chalk that next to the Pakistani Awan brothers.

DC isn’t a swamp. It is a tar pit so big it has swallowed the country. No one gets out.

Soon some will realize that secession is the only answer. It will start as a small buzz than grow into a movement. I am waiting but it will happen...

I'd say that is the best case scenario

Seriously, why isn't this guy doing something like:

* Going after drugs coming from places like Afganistan, and China.
* Going after MS-13, and rounding up and kicking those bastards out.
* Going after sleeper cells and "lone wolfs"....

And that is just 3, instead he is worried about tilting and election?

Ask for everyones resume and put them on notice decisions will be made in 90 days as to if you are still here, and that goes for this and about a dozen other agencies.

The worst part? We will pay his pension....

No prison. The gallows is where these traitors should be headed.

The Deep State/FBI/NSA/Media/GOPe Complex decides who the President will be. Not you. The whole US Government is a scam. And we the people are the suckers.

CWII is coming.

Congress has a committee looking into it. That committee has had these messages for a few weeks now. That is why Jim Jordan laid out a road map during FBI director Wray’s appearance last week.

And ... ?

They had these messages for weeks? And what has been done since? NOTHING!

Jordan laid out the roadmap but Wray refused to respond in that setting. Who the hell is Wray to say, "I won't respond?" Why does this testimony have to be carried out behind closed doors?

Both Jordan and Chairman Goodlatte appropriately reminded Wray that the House Judiciary Committee had control over the FBI but Goodlatte let Wray walk out without further testimony. Why? If I was Goodlatte I would have cleared the hearing room and go immediately into a closed hearing and get Wray to testify right then and there.

But no, Wray walked out. This again revealed the impotence of these Congressional overseers.

Lois Lerner anyone?

Or how about Assistant Director of the FBI McCabe telling a Congressional committee he won't be testifying this week? Lock his ass up for Contempt of Congress!

Geez, who is in charge?

McCarthy, who is usually fairly sharp on criminal issues, thinks this is “no big deal”? Meeting in “Andy’s” office to discuss plans to block the campaign of a presidential candidate? Has he read this line??

Maybe Hillary was serious and not angry after the Matt Lauer interview?
