In a previously undisclosed text message, FBI agent Peter Strzok, a key player in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s original Russia probe, vowed that he and his agency would stop Donald Trump from becoming President.
The message was sent to his girlfriend, FBI lawyer Lisa Page, and is sure to generate fresh fodder for a White House that has consistently argued that the investigation into Trump’s team has been a ‘witch hunt’ from day one.

The new text is among several disclosures in a highly anticipated report by a Justice Department watchdog, set to be released sometime today.
In it, Page frantically discusses the possibility of Trump becoming President, while Strzok assures her it isn’t going to happen.
“(Trump’s) not ever going to become president, right? Right?!” Page wrote to Strzok, according to a Bloomberg report.

“No. No, he’s not,” Strzok replied. “We’ll stop it.”
“Several FBI employees Who played critical roles in the investigation sent political messages,” IG report says.
It cites Lisa Page text to Peter Strzok: “(Trump’s) not ever going to become president, right? Right?!”
Strzok: “No. No he’s not. We’ll stop it.”

Remarkably, Inspector General Michael Horowitz concluded that they still found no evidence that political bias “directly affected the specific investigative actions we reviewed,” though he added that “the conduct by these employees cast a cloud over the entire FBI investigation.”

Other previously disclosed text messages exchanged between the pair show Strzok and Page referring to then-candidate Trump as a “douche” and a “f***ing idiot.”
Strzok had also discussed an “insurance policy” to eliminate Trump from the presidency should he go on to win. (RELATED: Gowdy: Strzok’s Anti-Trump Text Messages Show Clear and ‘Unprecedented’ Bias).
Strzok had to be ‘reassigned’ from his role as a key investigator on the Special Counsel’s case involving alleged collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign after the biased messages to his girlfriend had been discovered.

President Trump labeled the investigation a “pile of garbage.”
So, the Democrats make up a phony crime, Collusion with the Russians, pay a fortune to make the crime sound real, illegally leak (Comey) classified information so that a Special Councel will be appointed, and then Collude to make this pile of garbage take on life in Fake News!

Strzok also played a role in the Clinton email investigation in which he and then-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe sat on a new batch of emails discovered on the laptop of the disgraced former congressman, Anthony Weiner, but failed to notify Congress of their existence for nearly a month.

You cannot take a “vow” unless you have information about being able to do what you “vow.” I would like to know what his plan was. I would also like to know Stroyks and Lisa Page’s plan, as well as the contents of their “insurance policy.” How come no one is asking them that question?
I am a military officer.
Everyone in the military and government KNOWS (we often discuss this concept this among ourselves professionally) that “stop” and other “keywords” in government mean something different at every level – depending on duties and responsibilities.
I can tell you that, with great accuracy – the people who uttered this word “stop” would include the element of assassination in the word “stop”, due to the high level of decision making powers which they occupy.
I can tell you if “they” been referring to a foreign official, assassination would indeed be included in the definition of “stop”, even though this has been illegal for many years, i.e. for the US Government to perform assassinations.
Further, you are correct in assuming this and we should find this quote disturbing and frightening.
I wonder if that word “STOP” also includes assassination if necessary? I would worry if I were president if The intelligence community were so set on wanting me to be stopped from being president.
Ever hear the term “Gaslighting”? An FBI that has and is resisting the congress in its constitutional duty to oversee it, key agents in the investigation that said “I’m with her” and never really bothered investigating clinton’s obvious violation of our secrecy laws, the clinton investigation that never really was while the crime that never really happened is followed like a starving dog after a bone, agents that expressed outrageous bias in the election assigned to persecute and prosecute the man they did not want elected to the presidency but who won, agents assigned to the investigation that declared that they would stop Trump from being elected, five more agents involved in the investigation up for criminal investigation, FBI agents taking bribes from Fake News reporters, a major FBI agent who oversaw the investigations fired for lying to the IG about the investigation, no agent was honest enough to tell any FISA judges that the clinton campaign paid Russians for the phony dossier, fifteen DOJ/CIA/FBI agents already fired, demoted or resigned due to the investigation and bias. It goes on and on! Yet “there is no finding that bias affected either investigation”. They are trying to gaslight the entire American public!
WE THE PEOPLE’ HAVE THE POWER OF OUR VOICES AND VOTES, COME NOV USE YOUR POWER TO VOTE OUT THE ENTIRE LYING, TREASONOUS, CORRUPT DEMOCRAT PARTY TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN AND TO END ALL THE CORRUPTION IN WASHINGTON GOVERNMENT
Dirty rotten scum of the earth Liberals and Progressives and RINO’s, living under turds at the bottom of the sewer we now affectionately call the swamp. They need to be sent down the drain like the other human waste. Listening to these disgusting, despicable, dastardly demons make me want to puke!
WHO is going to be charged in this mess?? I’m betting nothing… the little I read from another article, doesn’t sound like anyone is going to be brought to justice… the corruption continues…. Heaven help this country and the American people!!! And Mueller’s witch hunt to take down our President Trump continues….
ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!!!
With the exception of legitimate FBI workers, the one’s who been making names for themselves
here lately with with their hateful bias and stupid remarks, they’ve proven themselves to not
even be capable to keep their jobs with the FBI……..Fire all the worthless troublemakers and
replace them with decent people who will do their jobs as intended without all the conniving.
So what was FBI Agent Peter Strzok going to do? Find another Sirhan Sirhan and pull a Bobby Kennedy assassination? That would have set off American Revolution #3 that I’m sure of.
Mrs. F posting: Legal BS legalize speak: “Remarkably, Inspector General Michael Horowitz concluded that they still found no evidence that political bias “directly affected the specific investigative actions we reviewed,” though he added that “the conduct by these employees cast a cloud over the entire FBI investigation.” Yes, like hillary wasn’t reckless with her emails, she was just stupid and there is no law against being stupid even though she thinks she is smart enough to run the country. BS. The DOJ and FBI will NEVER come clean and call THEIR crimes and treason what IT really is. Trump just needs to give the go ahead to RAID the FBI & DOJ offices and take all the files, and let Congress go through the files to find the REAL truth. Does Congress even have the power to arrest anyone. Can they take a case to court? I’m sick of it. I want to see some serious prison time for a lot of people at the DOJ and FBI. NOW!!!!!!!! And I wrote Trump an email saying so at whitehouse.gov. I suggest more people do this. Those of us who are tired of FOX news rehashing, and rehashing again, and again, and again, all the reasons why these people are criminals and yet NOTHING is accomplished need to get loud and “squeaky wheel” the white house. Criminals defending other criminals in the name of law practiced (I mean bastardized) by the FBI and DOJ.
You may have faith in IG’s but this latest IG report concluded the FBI was not biased. It is almost the same thing as Comey reading a list of crimes Hillary committed, then exonerating her with his stupid statement about no “reasonable prosecutor” would see the crimes for what the were.
When Hillary got her security clearance she had to sign a document acknowledging she was aware of the necessity to protect such material and the penalty for not doing so. How does the FBI/DOJ let her get away with breaking this law?
18 U.S. Code 1924 — “Unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents or material” — clearly states that anyone who “knowingly removes” materials “without authority and with the intent to retain such documents or materials at an unauthorized location shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than one year, or both.”
Isn’t withholding information the same thing as obstruction of justice?
Lock him up and throw the key away.
Indeed! Semper Fi!!!
The ONE thing we can fault Mueller for is that the FBI of which he was in charge, had been advised and WARNED that Islamic terrorists were planning and training to use aircraft to fly into US buildings in order to cause major casualties for many months and years BEFORE 9/11 happened. Even foreign government intelligence sources warned the FBI of this. So what did Mueller do for years and months? NOTHING. In fact, he even LIED that he did not know of ANY aircraft related terrorist plots or plans. This idiot is a SCUMBAG who is now in charge of trying to find Russian interference into the 2016 election? We are calling you out, Mueller. You ARE an effing scumbag who is screwing the US so that you can get even MORE wealthy at government expense. You are similar to your bosom buddy John Kerry (BTW, have you ever had any sexual relationship with him? Just asking…) who tried his best to to EFF the US. I am ASHAMED that you were ever in the USMC, but since then, you have definitely PROVEN that you are a socialist anti American SCUMBAG!
I certainly don’t want to expand government more, but maybe we need a new department of government corruption to seek out agencies that are failing to meet their actual mission but have moved into other areas. If Trump is successful in combining and reducing existing departments and agencies there maybe some money for actually investigating and correcting government and finally drain the swamp.
My worry is that the sheeple merely vote for the same people year after year. They are almost automatons.
This FBI Report shows that the whole thing was pushed by the Democrat Party with FBI help and the best answer to all of this corruption, crimes and lawbreaking is for we, the American voters, to vote every Democrat Party politician out on their asses where they belong in the 2018 election and send a message that we will not stand for this crime wave from any political party”!!!! Who the Hello do they think they are to destroy our Constitution and Bill of Rights like this like they did, for they are not definitely Americans??…..
The state of the union is so corrupt that no one will ever pay the real price with time behind bars for the misuse of tax moneys, the corrupting of the election process, the failure to honor their oath to the constitution, legislators taking bribes for votes and other crimes against the people ect. Instead of the swamp being drained it is being filled with just a different brand of critters all looking for bank accounts to filled by the taxpayer.
So much for the FBI being the federal law “enforcement” agency, what a sick joke they are.They about as corrupt as the Clinton crime family is.It seems everyone in the agency needs replacing.
Have heart, everyone. There are two more I.G. reports coming. One report will deal with Hillary’s use of the illegal emails and the other one involves the issuing of the FISA warrants. This will take time, but I think we are closing in on Hillary. Bubba is all but out of the picture now…the Dems don’t even want anything to do with this rapist!
Mr. Sessions, your Federal Bureau of Investigation is corrupt. The fact the IG report STILL finds “… NO EVIDNCE THAT POLITICAL BIAS ‘DIRECTLY AFFECTED THE SPECIFIC INVESTIGATION …” your IG “reviewed” proves either the entire Department fo Justice, including not just the FBI but the Office of the Attorney General of the United States is either totally incompetent or YOU, Mr. Attorney General, are part and parcel to the coup d’état that has been going on since BEFORE the election! Yes, I said since BEFORE the election. It began with ELECTION TAMPERING BY THE DEMOCRAT PARTY AND THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, ATTORNEY GENERAL’S OFFICE, AND THE PRESUDENT OF THE UNITED STATES – BARACK OBAMA! It is high time either you get off your ASS and do the job you were HIRED to do [i.e. be the Attorney General of the United States of America and not some phony, lackey fellow traveler of a bunch of CONSPIRATORS AND CO-CONSPIRATORS to prevent the election of now President Trump! STRONG WRITTEN LETTER TO FOLLOW!! Ladies and Gentlemen, THIS is what has been going on since the nomination of Donald J. Trump and continues now into his Presidency. If need be, We The People need to come together and literally march on Washington with torches and pitchforks and DEMAND immediate justice! We have been witnessing nothing less than a full blown OVERTHROW of our government! ROUNDUP AND ARREST THE CONSPIRATORS AND THEIR FELLOW TRAVELER CO-CONSPIRATORS! GIVE THEM OVER TO A MILITARY TRIBUNAL FOR THEIR ACTS OF TREASON IN TIME OF WAR! BRING THEM ALL TO JUSTICE AND BRING THEM ALL TO JUSTICE NOW!!
Ok heres the sad thing the FBI must be dismantled,and re build anew.Thjat is the only way we can prevent people like these from ever being accepted into an organization like this HEY THERE PEOPLE HAD TOP SECRET CLEARANCES>>>WHAT THE HELL DID THEY LEAK OUT THE DOOR???
WHO IS WE IN WE WILL STOP IT? SURELY THIS DEMOCRAT COMMUNIST DID NOT ACT ALONE WITH HIS FBI LOVER. JOIN THE LEFTBI GET A LOVER.
TOP TWO LAYERS ARE ALL OBAMA SOVIET IMPLANTS.
Now you’ve done it! You just caused a bunch of snowflakes to meltdown! Happy now?? Heartless bastard! [PS – I wish we could embed GIF’s here. I’ve got the perfect one of a snowflake’s head exploding.]
Run….run I say to all you lefties ! Your loud mouths are going to grow increasingly quiet as the I.G. report becomes public property today.Maybe you will even start wailing and crying,like you did on election night.
More garbage against a President who has done more for this country in a short time than I-don’t-remember-who. It’s time to root out this fungus from our government.
Strozk along with McCabe & Comey should all be indicted for this huge stinking mess! The insane have definitely been running the asylum.
You cannot take a “vow” unless you have information about being able to do what you “vow.” I would like to know what his plan was. I would also like to know Stroyks and Lisa Page’s plan, as well as the contents of their “insurance policy.” How come no one is asking them that question?
