[ April 19, 2024 ]
The DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz released two new sets of text messages between former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page this week. IG Horowitz is currently working to determine whether or not Peter Strzok’s extreme anti-Trump bias was the reason he opened the Trump/Russia collusion investigation.
The first set of messages indicate that Strzok and Page were strategically leaking information to the media so they would publish stories, which the FBI could then refer to on their application to the FISA Court for a warrant to surveil Carter Page.
April 10, 2017: Strzok texts Page telling her, “I had literally just gone to find this phone to tell you I want to talk to you about media leak strategy with DOJ before you go.”

April 12, 2017: Strzok texts Page and tells her that two new articles would be coming out about her “namesake,” a reference to Carter Page. He adds, “One is worse than the other.”
April 22, 2017: Strzok texts Page. “Article is out. Well done, Page.”
Strzok’s strategy bore fruit. The Washington Post published an article titled, “FBI Obtained FISA Warrant To Monitor Former Trump Adviser Carter Page,” on April 11th.
The article, citing “law enforcement and other U.S. officials,” reported that the DOJ and FBI had convinced a FISA judge there was “probable cause to believe Page was acting as an agent of a foreign power, in this case Russia.”
Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) said that the April 11th story “set off a flurry of articles suggesting connections between President Trump and Russia.” In a letter to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, Meadows wrote:
Other documents indicate DOJ officials, specifically Andrew Weissmann [now part of the Mueller team] participated in unauthorized conversations with the media during this same time period.
Meadows noted that during congressional interviews with Strzok and Page, FBI attorneys kept saying the witnesses could not answer questions about ongoing investigations. “However, documents strongly suggest that these same witnesses discussed ongoing investigations multiple times with individual outside of the investigative team on a regular basis.”
Meadows wrote to Rosenstein to ask him to “review text messages, emails and other communications from various FBI and DOJ officials that might provide critical insight into the backdrop of the Russia investigation.” Good luck with that Congressman.
Strzok struck back through his attorney, Aitan Goelman. He put out the following statement.
The term ‘media leak strategy’ in Mr. Strzok’s text refers to a Department-wide initiative to detect and stop leaks to the media. The President and his enablers are once again peddling unfounded conspiracy theories to mislead the American People.
The second set of texts between Page and Strzok occurred on December 15, 2016.
Page: Oh, remind me to tell you tomorrow about the times doing a story about the rnc hacks.
Strzok: And more than they already did? I told you Quinn told me they pulling out all the stops on some story…
(A source told Fox News that Quinn likely refers to Richard Quinn, who served as the chief of the Media and Investigative Publicity Section in the Office of Public Affairs.)
Strzok: Think our sisters have begun leaking like mad. Scorned and worried, and political, they’re kicking into overdrive.
(Then Strzok misreads “rnc” as “mc,” blames “old man eyes.”)
(“Sisters,” I heard on a Fox News report, may be a reference to the CIA.)
This same day, there were several media outlets reporting that “U.S. intelligence officials were convinced that Russian President Vladimir Putin was personally involved, and approved Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.”
A few days prior, The New York Times published an article titled “Russian Hackers Acted to Aid Trump in Election, U.S. Says,” citing “senior administration officials.”
We return to Strzok and Page:
Strzok: And we need to talk more about putting C reporting in our submission. They’re going to declassify all of it…
Page: I know. But they’re going to declassify their stuff, how do we withhold…
Strzok: We will get extraordinary questions. What we did, what we’re doing. Just want to ensure everyone is good with it and has thought thru all implications. CD should bring it up with the DD.
A source told Fox News “that “C” is likely in reference to classified information, whereas “CD” is Cyber Division, and DD could refer to former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.”
These text messages add to the growing case against Strzok and Page. The two officials, along with many of their colleagues, clearly abused their power and conspired to remove President Trump from office.
But, over the last year, a hundred equally damaging pieces of evidence have come to light. Strzok has been fired from the FBI. Page is out. Andrew McCabe has been fired and many other officials who were involved in this fraud upon the American people have either been fired or have resigned. Yet Mueller’s investigation continues.
Last week, rumors swirled that Trump was going to declassify critical documents that have been withheld from Congress by the DOJ and the FBI, as soon as last weekend or early this week. So far, nothing has happened.
Trump obviously realizes the stakes of the upcoming elections. He tweets about it. He addresses it at his campaign rallies. And he alone has the constitutional power to declassify the relevant documents that will show Americans how he was framed by a large group of men and women at the very top echelons of the Obama DOJ and FBI. Do it, President Trump.

So, when Strzok discovered W.H. was on to his strategy of leaking to the press, he had his lawyer turn the thing 180 degrees to say the operation was the Fibbies trying to stop leaks.That guy’s got B’s of brass.

He recused himself. I hope someday he comes to his senses and realizes the DAMAGE he has done to our country. None of this would be going on had he not recused himself. Rosenstein is out AG with the exception of immigration and changes there are taking place in slow motion. He might be looking into to social media bias but it’s too late to stop it for the midterms.

He must be part of the Clinton mafia or they got him blackmailed into subverting Trump
Clinton mafia still active after Trump takeover as they kill another witness to email investigation http://tinyurl.com/y8p9cv5l
They know their hold overs in FBI / DOJ /NSC will help them out !
Unless they are totally purged including Left/Liberal judges to keep out their bias …its uphill task to prosecute them.

Totally agree that the purge is necessary, but is it impossible to remove a federal judge?

If the lovebirds broke the law, it is a perfect example of how karma’s a bitch. I suspect Strzok and Page knew very well that what they were doing was at least of questionable legality, but thought their own judgement should supercede the democratic process of the nation they allegedy served.. Never in their wildest dreams , I imagine, did they suspect they could be held accountable- President Hillary’s DoJ would have discretely looked the other way.
They certainly deserve due process, but I hope, if found guilty, they get hit with significant prison time. I will say, though, Strzok had a fine eye for the distaff side. But did he have to do it to the nation too? Well maybe they could lock her up with Hillary (I suppose it might qualify as cruel and unusual punishment to lock him up with Hillary).

Keep in mind that Huber is an OBAMA appointee that for God only knows why Trump allowed to continue on when he didn’t have to. The obvious may escape Huber.

Couldn’t agree more. Peter Strozk is truly pathetic, like a rebellious child who never got a decent thrashing from his father.

That lawyer’s bit about the term “media leak strategy” referring to a department-wide effort to actually stop leaks instead of creating them was an insult to our collective intelligence that is far more ridiculous than “the dog ate my homework”.

It is time to send the military to round up the Clinton’s, Page, Strzok, McCabe, Rosentein, Sessions, Sally Yates, John Kerry, Loretta Lynch, Samantha Powers, Eric Holder, Susan Rice, Hume Abdin, Wasserman-Schultz, her Pakistan aids, Obama, et. al, and ship them to Guantanamo Bay (Gitmo) for pre trail detention, waterboarding, and enhanced interrogation.

So far, McCabe has a grand jury breathing down his neck, hope it sucks the rest in.

If these Fecal Bureau of Islamisation agents are willing to frame a sitting US president what would they be willing to do to any average Joe citizen who opposes them and their muslum masters?
