Director Michael Kortan (aka text message “Mike”), the head of the FBI Public Affairs Office, has announced he is retiring. Mike Kortan was previously exposed by FBI Agent Peter Strozok as having specific information that the investigation into Hillary Clinton was manipulated by the “small group”. “Mike’s” job was to sell the ruse as a valid investigation. WASHINGTON – The longtime head of public affairs at the FBI — who was a confidant of former director James Comey — is planning to retire, Fox News...

The recently released batch of text message exchanges between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page reveal the partisan FBI agents criticized Chelsea Clinton in harsh and personal terms. Strzok, who was removed from special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation for sending anti-Trump texts, criticized Clinton’s speech at the Democratic National Committee convention in late July. “Chelsea was awful. Tried to do Bills up close sharing. Didn’t come across as genuine. Plus, she has a HORRIBLE billv goat speech tic,” Strzok wrote in a text to Page — his mistress and FBI colleague on the investigation at the time. The insulting characterization...

Yesterday The Gateway Pundit reported that a text message from corrupt FBI lovers and former Mueller investigators implicated former President Barack Obama as being involved in the Obamagate scandal! AND HERE’S TODAY’s BOMBSHELL – a text released yesterday also implicates Hillary Clinton as being involved in Obamagate as well!(snip) In the release of text messages from Senator Ron Johnson’s Office, on page Page 433 of the 502 page document, on November 4, 2016, in the aftermath of Comey’s presser about Weiner’s laptop somebody named “her” called to give the FBI hell.

As you know, I've been wondering about whether the Russia collusion theory was ever a reality or a construct of FBI. I put together a timeline of events, this time including Carter Page and some pivotal events with which you are familiar. Have a look at how it went down. 2013: Carter Page is working for the FBI to help catch spies June 2015: Trump announces candidacyClinton campaign puts down payment on the false dossierApril 2016: Perkins Coie, using money from the Clinton campaign and DNC, hires Fusion GPS. Marc Elias, a Perkins Coie partner and general counsel for both the...

THE LEAD STORY - NEWLY UNCOVERED TEXTS RAISE NEW QUESTIONS ABOUT FBI, CLINTON INVESTIGATION: Thousands of newly uncovered text messages between two alleged anti-Trump FBI agents reviewed by Fox News raise new questions about political bias and conflicts of interest within the bureau and about the Hillary Clinton email investigation ... FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page have been under the microscope after it was revealed that the two former members of Robert Mueller's team exchanged a series of anti-Trump texts during the presidential campaign. The newly disclosed texts between Strzok and Page were exchanged on November 4, 2015,...

We are now getting our first look at a new trove of text messages between FBI agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page -- who were having an affair during the 2016 election cycle as they worked on the Clinton email investigation, then later as part of the Mueller probe, from which they've been dismissed. The messages reinforce some previously-known dynamics, but also raise new questions. Leah wrote up the basics earlier, but here are a few major takeaways, from my perspective: (1) In the "old news" file, it's clearer than ever how viscerally Strzok and Page despised Donald Trump as...

The newly released text-message exchanges between FBI agents Lisa Page and Peter Sztrok present the American public with a dire picture of the state of affairs during former President Barack Obama’s tenure in the White House. Basically, the latest batch of text messages between the FBI lovebirds indicate that Obama was deeply involved in the Russia-Obamagate. According to a Fox News report, after combing through thousands of text messages, they discovered an exchange between Sztrok and Page about prepping talking points for James Comey (when he was still FBI director) to give then-POTUS Obama, who wanted, let me quote, “to...

Newly revealed text messages between FBI paramours Peter Strzok and Lisa Page include an exchange about preparing talking points for then-FBI Director James Comey to give to President Obama, who wanted “to know everything we’re doing." The message, from Page to Strzok, was among thousands of texts between the lovers reviewed by Fox News. The pair both worked at one point for Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe of alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. Page wrote to Strzok on Sept. 2, 2016, about prepping Comey because "potus wants to know everything we're doing." According to a newly released...

Two star-crossed lovers in the FBI are at the center of a brewing sh*tstorm in Washington D.C. as the nation absorbs the fallout of the Obama administration being accused of spying on the Trump campaign. The provably partisan FBI agent Pete Strzok, who was a key figure in the Clinton email investigation, had a hand in rewriting the infamous Comey memo to exculpate the Democratic presidential candidate, and who was removed from the Russia investigation by Special Counsel Mueller, had some fascinating things to say to his mistress and FBI lawyer Lisa Page. As Fox News reported on Wednesday: Page...

We shared a discussion thread a few weeks ago about how the media are enmeshed within the entire story of the DOJ and FBI corruption. The media engagements with the parties swirling around the Clinton-Steele Dossier and DOJ corruption are so pervasive they cannot currently report on the story without exposing their own duplicity. Michael Isikoff found that reality yesterday when he discovered his reporting was being used by the FBI. FBI investigator Peter Strzok and FBI attorney Lisa Page have been shown in their text messages to be leaking stories from the Clinton Investigation, the Trump investigation and the...

<p>In the summer of 2016, FBI Agent Peter Strzok had just wrapped up the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server and was embarking on a probe into Moscow’s interference in the presidential election. As he watched the Republican National Convention and scanned intelligence reports and news stories, he made clear how he felt about his new target: “f*ck the cheating motherf*cking Russians,” he texted in late July. “Bastards. I hate them.”</p>

Fox News contributor Sara A. Carter reports newly-released text messages exchanged between FBI agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page reveals discussions about purchasing Apple iPhones to bypass “government collection,” systems. During one of their exchanges, Strzok tells Page, “If I want to copy/take classified, I’m sure as hell not going to do it on this phone.” Carter reports: “According to text messages produced by the committee, Ms. Page and Mr. Strzok make references to communicating with other FBI employees via text message, phone call, email, and voice mail,” stated Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Sen. Ron Johnson, in...

Newly released text messages between a pair of FBI anti-Trump officials at the center of the Russia investigation controversy show that they sought to “get around” rules established by the government to preserve text messages, stating that none of the agencies abide by the rules then “why should we.” Former FBI agent Peter Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page discussed getting new Apple iPhones, in lieu of their Samsung 5 government issued phones in text messages they exchanged in August 2016. They noted in the texts that the new phones would help keep their text messages from government collection after...

In a move that will likely leave Congressional investigators aghast, the Justice Department handed over a batch of text messages exchanged between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page to special counsel Robert Mueller’s office and are unlikely to find out what the contents are — at least until the Russia probe wraps up. Once briefed on the texts, Mueller’s team directed the Justice Department to make redactions.

That's Devlin Barrett, a National Security reporter for ultra-Establishment Washington Post. See the "WP" marquee at extreme right..? Here below we again see Devlin Barrett's name, popping up in the endless back-and-forth texts between Strzok and Page: Can you see just how deeply reporters --reporters expected to COVER stories just like this-- are entwined in these same stories..? And then again towards the bottom of the text record graphic you'll see mention of Rybicki, FBI Chief of Staff, who abruptly and without giving any reason at all QUIT the FBI last week...? You see how the scandal actors seem...

With the latest information revealing that FBI Agent Peter Strzok and DOJ/FBI Attorney Lisa Page were specifically leaking to their media sources to shape the underlying story of their political efforts, everything presented by the recipients of those leaks should now be questioned. Page and Strzok were the “sources” for stories written by Devlin Barrett of the Washington Post. As such, obviously the network of Page and Strzok’s professional colleagues, would also be considered part of a grouping of people who would benefit from specific leaks intended to shape the stories. One of those initial stories was a December 2nd,...

Peter Strzok and his lover Page exchanged this message in February 2016: Page: One more thing: she might be our next president. The last thing you need us going in there loaded for bear. You think she’s going to remember or care that it was more doj than fbi? Strzok: Agreed. I called Bill and relayed what we discussed. He agrees. I will email you and [redacted] same.
