It’s becoming more obvious by the day that the 1) There really is such a thing as the “Deep State;” and 2) It really did conspire against Trump, and continues to do so, making “draining the swamp” nothing short of a Republic-saving effort.
As reported by The Daily Caller’s Chuck Ross, the officials exchanged text messages in which they ‘appear’ to have discussed what they could do to prevent Trump from beating Democrat Hillary Clinton.
“I want to believe the path you threw out for considering in Andy’s office — that there’s no way [Trump] gets elected — but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk,” noted FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok wrote in a cryptic message to FBI lawyer and mistress Lisa Page.
“It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40,” Strzok wrote in a message dated Aug. 15, 2016.
Ross noted that “Andy” is very likely to be FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, who has come under fire from Republicans and conservative groups after it was learned that his wife Jill received nearly $500,000 from Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, a Democrat who has ties to Bill and Hillary Clinton, when she ran for a seat in the state Senate.
McCabe was scheduled to appear before the House Intelligence Committee this week but abruptly canceled it on Monday, reportedly over concerns he would be questioned about the wife of recently-demoted Justice Department official Bruce Ohr following reports that last year during the election she worked for Fusion GPS, the firm that produced the bogus “Trump dossier.” (Related: Carter on Hannity: ‘IG report looking at 27 leakers;’ set to cause ‘major shakeup at FBI’.)
As for the Strzok texts, it is one of 375 released on Tuesday evening ahead of a Wednesday appearance before the House Judiciary Committee by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, the DoJ official who appointed Mueller.
A number of congressional panels have been demanding the text messages since it was revealed earlier this month they existed, Ross reported.
Strzok was a top investigator on both the Trump Russia probe and Hillary Clinton’s criminal email investigation in which she was ultimately cleared by fired FBI Director James Comey in July 2016, despite the fact that he said she violated a number of statutes regarding the handling of classified information.
Strzok was removed from Mueller’s team over the summer after the content of the text messages was discovered.
In them, Strzok shows a deep disdain for the president, at one time referring to him as a “f**king idiot.”
In an Aug. 6 text, Strzok responded to an article Page shared with him with this reply: “F Trump.”
Later the same day, the two also exchanged another cryptic message.
“Maybe you’re meant to stay where you are because you’re meant to protect the country from that menace,” Page wrote.
“I can protect our country at many levels, not sure if that helps,” Strzok replied.
There is this as well: Strzok is the agent who interviewed top Hillary aides Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills, both of whom appeared to give false statements regarding their prior knowledge of their boss’ secret, private email server. Unlike former Trump national security advisor Michale Flynn, however, neither of them were charged with lying to the bureau.
This entire mess — from the FBI’s and the DoJ’s monitoring of Team Trump during the campaign, to statements made by top Justice officials, to relationships and collusion between career Justice and FBI bureaucrats and the Democratic Party’s nominee — stinks to high Heaven and, as Fox News’ Judge Janine Pirro said this week, people need to be escorted out of FBI and DoJ “in handcuffs.”
McCabe should be one of them, she said.
