As the Trump-Russia Colusion theory is begining to collapse from its own nothingness, the focus begins to shif to how stupid Americans must be to not trust the FBI, despite the flood of evidence that the FBI is corrupting our political process.
The FBIâs Trump âInsuranceâ
But as long as the Oligarchs can divide us against ourselves long lines of race, gender and ideology they continue to win.
The FBIâs Trump âInsuranceâ
Democrats and the media are accusing anyone who criticizes special counsel Robert Mueller as Trumpian conspirators trying to undermine his probe. But who needs critics when Mr. Muellerâs team is doing so much to undermine its own credibility?
Wednesdayâs revelationsâtheyâre coming almost dailyâinclude the Justice Departmentâs release of 2016 text messages to and from Peter Strzok, the FBI counterintelligence agent whom Mr. Mueller demoted this summer. The texts, which he exchanged with senior FBI lawyer Lisa Page, contain expletive-laced tirades against Mr. Trump. Such Trump hatred is no surprise and not by itself disqualifying. More troubling are texts that suggest that some FBI officials may have gone beyond antipathy to anti-Trump plotting.
âI want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andyâs officeâthat thereâs no way [Trump] gets electedâbut Iâm afraid we canât take that risk,â Mr. Strzok wrote Ms. Page in an Aug. 15, 2016 text. He added: âItâs like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before youâre 40.â
What âpolicyâ would that be? The âAndyâ in question is Andrew McCabe, the deputy FBI director. FBI officials are allowed to have political opinions, but what kind of action were they discussing that would amount to anti-Trump âinsuranceâ?
In another exchange that month, Ms. Page forwarded a Trump-related article and wrote: âMaybe youâre meant to stay where you are because youâre meant to protect the country from that menace.â He thanked her and assured: âOf course Iâll try and approach it that way.â Mr. Strzok, recall, is the man who changed the words âgrossly negligentâ to âextremely carelessâ in James Comeyâs July 2016 public exoneration of Hillary Clintonâs emails.
The McCabe meeting came on the heels of the FBIâs launch of its counterintelligence probe into Trump-Russia ties. July is also when former British spook Christopher Steele briefed the FBI on his Clinton-financed dossier of salacious allegations against Mr. Trump. The texts explain why Mr. Mueller would remove Mr. Strzok, though a straight shooter wouldnât typically resist turning those messages over to Congress for as long as Mr. Mueller did.
Yes, it is a conspiracy now when Americans reject a ruling class that spends its entire lifetime in public office and political activities and never punches a time clock or meets a payroll.Wednesdayâs revelationsâtheyâre coming almost dailyâinclude the Justice Departmentâs release of 2016 text messages to and from Peter Strzok, the FBI counterintelligence agent whom Mr. Mueller demoted this summer.
