Could FBI Agent Strzok Have Tried to Rig the Election for Hillary?

There are quite a few people working with Robert Mueller’s investigatory team and Representative Trey Gowdy (R-SC) has asked a very fair, straightforward question:  Why is it that the Special Counsel was unable to dig up just a dozen agents and attorneys who had not donated to a political candidate?

That’s a pretty good question.  I would elaborate a little bit more on that question:  Why is that the Special Counsel was unable to dig up just a dozen agents and attorneys who had not donated to Hillary Clinton’s campaign?

A better question.  And while I am certainly no Trey Gowdy (Lord knows most of us are not), I am fully aware that he was just being gentlemanly and allowing Mueller (a registered Republican, if you can believe that) a little wiggle room to breathe.

Peter Strzok, the Deputy Head of Counter-Intelligence at the FBI, basically an agent with about as much power as the number three in the Bureau, has been a VERY busy boy.  Not only has he been busy in an extramarital affair (but then, aren’t many of the federal agents these days?), but he has also been at the epicenter of pretty much every major scandal that has Hillary’s fingerprints on it and has been a person who has had some form of influence in the outcome of very damning evidence (as in, making it disappear almost as completely as her 33K emails).

Bret Baier of Fox News (not a Donald Trump fan, by any stretch) has been doing some extra digging into the emails that have been uncovered by Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz in the case of the Hillary Clinton email server investigation, the Trump-Russia Collusion investigation, and anything else that the Mueller investigation happens to absorb as part of its grand inquisition of Donald Trump.  Horowitz has presented over 10K text messages from FBI agent Peter Strzok, between him and his mistress, Lisa Page (an FBI attorney and fact witness in the Dossier case) that are devastating to the agency, the Mueller investigation, and the DOJ.

Text-from Peter Strzok to Lisa Page (Andy is Andrew McCabe): "I want to believe the path u threw out 4 consideration in Andy's office-that there's no way he gets elected-but I'm afraid we can't take that risk.It's like an insurance policy in unlikely event u die be4 you're 40"

In addition to Baier, Charles E. Grassley, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee who has been looking into all of these matters, from the beginning, regarding the Trump Dossier, Fusion GPS, etc., is also questioning some of these texts that have been released and one thing is glaringly evident:  FBI Agent Peter Strzok was pulling strings and rigging evidence to throw the election into Hillary Clinton’s hands and, not only that, but also attempting to take retaliatory action after the election failed to catapult his chosen candidate into the seat of the Oval Office.

FBI owes answers abt "insurance policy" against Trump victory…& if nothing to hide, why would senior FBI leaders use secret phones that "cant be traced" to talk Hillary? DOJ needs to give JudicComm full transparency/cooperation 2 restore public trust. FBI CANT BE POLITICAL

In reading these two texts above, you’ll note some very interesting key phrases.  Strzok first texts his girlfriend, Lisa Page, that he is doubtful that a scenario which she pitched in Andrew McCabe’s office (Andy is referenced; McCabe was the Acting Director of the FBI after Comey’s firing) that Trump would lose the election, but that he has decided that, regardless of the American people’s choice, he “can’t take that risk.”  Then, he makes mention of an “insurance policy” which insinuates that he has been up at night plotting the ways to covertly overrule the vote of the American public by using devices, influence, personnel and offices at his disposal to disqualify elements which could throw the election into Trump’s corner!

The lead FBI official at the heart of the rapidly unraveling Trump-Russia probe sent a text message to his FBI mistress last year which discusses some sort of ‘insurance policy’ against Donald Trump becoming president.

Clearly Lisa Page thought there was no way Trump would win during a conversation in then-Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe’s office, yet Strzok clearly states to Page that he “can’t take that risk” in the “unlikely event” Trump was elected, and that an insurance policy of some type existed to presumably undermine Trump. If this is the case, it would constitute an active measure taken by the FBI against one candidate for US President, while aiding the other.

The text message which references an “insurance policy” is all the more controversial when you consider another exchange in which Peter Strzok says “I am riled up. Trump is a f*cking idiot, is unable to provide a coherrent answer,” and “I CAN’T PULL AWAY, WHAY THE F*CK HAPPENED TO OUR COUNTRY (redacted)??!?!”

Page responds “I don’t know, But we’ll get it back. …”

Page then messages Strzok, saying “And maybe you’re meant to stay where you are because you’re meant to protect the country from that menace. (links to NYT article), to which Strzok replied “I can protect our country at many levels.”

What, exactly, does Peter Strzok mean by “protect our country at many levels” in his text to Page? Is this a reference to the insurance policy? 

The “insurance” text message was one of 375 released Tuesday night before a House Judiciary Committee hearing with Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein, and one of 10,000 text messages exchanged between the two top FBI investigators. Strzok was fired from Robert Mueller’s special counsel in August, however the reason for his dismissal was not revealed until last month, prompting several congressional panels to turn up the heat on the FBI and the DOJ. 

The text messages make abundantly clear that Strzok – the man who downgraded the FBI’s assessment of Hillary’s email mishandling from “grossly negligent” to “extremely careless,” and reportedly used a largely unfounded Trump-Russia dossier to launch a counterintelligence operation – holds a deep disdain for Donald Trump.

As we reported earlier, in one exchange obtained by Fox News sent on March 4th, 2016 – right around the time Trump emerged as a serious threat in the GOP primary race, Page texted Strzok “God, Trump is a loathsome human,” to which Strzok responded “Yet he many[win]” Strzok responded, adding “Good for Hillary.” 

Other text messages call trump an idiot, who’s awful. 

Fox reporter Shannon Brem tweeted that Fox News producer Jake Gibson has obtained 10k texts between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, one of which says “Trump should go f himself,” and “F TRUMP.”

I am eminently more interested, however, in the Grassley tweet that references cell phones used by agents that “can’t be traced” when speaking with Hillary Clinton.  This craziness that has dominated the whole issue of the Deep State being answerable to no one is really at the heart of this matter.  As Tucker Carlson has pointed out on many occasions, how is it possible that the FBI, for instance, has the ability to ignore answering questions of the Congress and supplying subpoenaed documents and evidence?  Is the FBI its own country?  Is it outside of the scope of the authority of the federal government?

The answer on both counts, of course, is no.  The FBI falls directly under the Department of Justice and the Attorney General.  This whole mess began with the simple recusal of AG Jeff Sessions.  By doing so, possibly for reasons that he felt would ingratiate himself to both the Democrats and the Swamp RINOs, or that he felt it would present to the American people a perception of honesty and being above reproach, he set into motion the appointment of Robert Mueller as Special Counsel by Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein, who couldn’t be any more partisan if he tried (Mueller, that is).

As for Rosenstein, these purposeful blinders that he has donned, with the added bonus of having Horowitz as the IG to fall back on when he doesn’t want to commit to an answer to any simple question, continues to build on the perception that this game is rigged and Trump will be the victim of the outcome, no matter which course this so-called investigation takes.  What else can we extrapolate from this equation?

A corrupt FBI, under a corrupt DOJ, under a corrupt Democrat Party and RINO Establishment, under a corrupt FNIC, layered in corrupt Deep State undertones, is a recipe for the toppling of even the most powerful person in government.  Trump is an outsider and is, therefore, not privy to certain privileges and aspects of protocol that are the mark of elitist hypocrisy, status, and advantage.

Trump would do well to demand a complete top-to-bottom evaluation of the elements and personnel in the FBI (to start) and work his way through with the express purpose of eliminating jobs, funding, and…eventually…super-biases by its Deep State network of cronies, good-ole-boys, and political hacks.

Representative Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) is one of my favorite pit bulls (those in Congress who go after and rip to shreds the bureaucrats who choose not to answer direct questions by Congress members) puts it very succinctly in this Lou Dobbs segment:

Couldn’t have said it better myself.
