An FBI attorney who worked on the special counsel’s Russia investigation until earlier this year sent anti-Trump text messages to a colleague, including one exclaiming: “Viva le Resistance.”
The attorney’s comments are revealed in a Justice Department inspector general’s report released on Thursday.
The lawyer is not identified, but he worked on the Hillary Clinton email investigation and was the FBI’s lead attorney on the investigation into Russian election interference. He was assigned to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s soon after it began in May 2017 and left in late February of this year after some of his private messages were shared with the special counsel.
The inspector general’s report focuses on instant messages that the attorney exchanged with a colleague about the Clinton and Russia probes.
“I am numb,” the attorney wrote on Nov. 9, 2016, the day after President Trump’s election.
“I am so stressed about what I could have done differently,” the lawyer continued, apparently referring to the FBI’s handling of the Clinton email probe.
The attorney’s messages show that the was distressed at the FBI’s decision in Oct. 2016 to re-open the investigation into Clinton’s emails. Democrats have claimed that decision hurt Clinton at the polls.
The FBI lawyer also suggested that he would work to resist the Trump administration.
“Is it making you rethink your commitment to the Trump administration?” one FBI lawyer wrote on Nov. 22, 2016.
“Hell no. Viva le resistance,” the future Mueller attorney responded.
During interviews with the office of the inspector general, the lawyer claimed that his “personal political feelings or beliefs…in no way impacted” his work on the Clinton or Russia investigations.
The lawyer did acknowledge that the messages created the perception of anti-Trump bias. He told investigators that he “can understand the, the perception issues that come from” the Nov. 22, 2016 exchange.
The special counsel’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Mueller should be dole tested,because if he thinks his investigation is going to fly after these disclosures he’s been smoking crack????As per usual the hysterical dumocrats thought that after loosing the Presidential election they could perpetrate a coupe d etat???? against a duly elected President REALLY
I really don’t believe in the rule of law in this country anymore. These people, with their hatred and bias, only put out the effort, legally or illegally, to prosecute their political enemies. It makes me sick!
Mueller, “Now Tainted”…When was this farce of a investigation by a un-needed SP not???…The investigation was touted as needed but the appointment of the character challenged Mueller and the use of a lying allegation bought and paid for by the Clinton’s to a court judge who would not question the phony information and Mueller’s assault team of Trump haters called Muell-e-teers to try and undermine and destroy the legal election of Donald Trump by a free election, all makes this just another series of criminal acts by the elite to perp a travesty of law…..How many Fed cells are still available??????
Let the PIG continue to investigate things that happened in the last century to justify filling his personal coffers.
Mueller its time to go!
This is what the dumocrats are known for.They are attempting to or should I say have stacked the deck in the Mueller investigation.Does anybody in his or her right mind think that this investigation is not stacked against President Trump.Mueller is attempting to attempt a Coupe d ete against the President>>>.Now do you see why the dumocrats want to dis Arm the American public???It gets better.
FLUSH THE BLUE TIDE TOILET. AT LEAST TWO LEVELS OF OBAMA IMPLANTS.
Another POS political hack within our justice system. Keep draining the swamp.
No mercy. Expect no quarter and none given. Treason is treason and a coup against a sitting President is not pardonable. Hang all. Military Tribunal then straight to the Gallows..No where else to go. America is the last bastion of freedom. US Constitution
DITTO ???
