Last night, Fox Business host Lou Dobbs declared “war” on deep state saboteurs who have been plotting to take down Trump ever since he clinched the Republican nomination for president.
Some think Dobbs is exaggerating the duplicity and questionable nature of the U.S. government’s most vital institutions. But, revelations in recent days suggest he’s on to to something: What occurred within the FBI in the spring and summer of 2016 suggests a conspiracy took place to prevent Trump from becoming president. And it all revolves around Agent Peter Strzok, the man in charge of investigating Hillary’s illegal use of a home server.
The breakneck speed in which the news has emerged has made it hard to follow. But Representative Mark Meadows, chairman of the ultra-conservative House Freedom Caucus, just broke the whole thing down via Twitter.
Check out what Rep. Meadows has to say. It’s worth reading the entire thing to get a sense of just how deep this corruption goes:
THREAD–explaining the context around the Peter Strzok/Lisa Page text messages, and why they’re connected to both the Hillary investigation and this so-called “Russian-collusion” investigation
— Mark Meadows (@RepMarkMeadows) January 24, 2018
Remember the key figure here: Peter Strzok, the former deputy of counter-intelligence at the FBI. Guy who ran the 2016 Clinton investigation, who interviewed key witnesses including Cheryl Mills, Huma Abedin, and Hillary Clinton. Former Mueller team member. Strzok is the guy here

We have all these anti-Trump texts in 2016 from Peter Strzok, talking about an “insurance policy” in case Trump gets elected President. We have texts from Strzok to Lisa Page saying “We can’t take the risk” Trump wins the Presidency. By itself, that’s a huge problem.
— Mark Meadows (@RepMarkMeadows) January 24, 2018
But there’s more. We now have a text between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, FBI agents, directly talking about the pressure to finish the Hillary Clinton investigation–a text which occurred right after Donald J. Trump became the presumptive GOP nominee
— Mark Meadows (@RepMarkMeadows) January 24, 2018
We have a text from May 4, 2016 where Peter Strzok says: “Now the pressure really starts to finish MYE…” (or ‘Mid-Year Exam,’ the FBI’s code name for the Clinton investigation.) May 4, 2016 is important–because it’s when Ted Cruz dropped out. That day, Trump was the nominee.
— Mark Meadows (@RepMarkMeadows) January 24, 2018
So we have Peter Strzok, the deputy of FBI counter-intelligence and lead Clinton investigator, who we already know blasted Trump in text messages, talking about the need to end the Clinton investigation… right after he knew Hillary would be running against Trump. Major problem.

Now pause, and circle to FBI Director Comey. Remember Director Comey’s exoneration letter? The letter from 2016 that, at first, called Hillary Clinton “grossly negligent” but was mysteriously changed to “extremely careless”? That change is massively important.
— Mark Meadows (@RepMarkMeadows) January 24, 2018
Remember, “gross negligence” under the “reasonable person standard” is a crime. “Extreme carelessness” is not, however. That change is hugely significant. Had Dir. Comey called Hillary “grossly negligent” in his letter, he would’ve essentially been saying she committed a crime.
— Mark Meadows (@RepMarkMeadows) January 24, 2018
Now take that letter change, and go back to Peter Strzok. We have email documentation that suggests the “gross negligence” claim in Director Comey’s exoneration letter was changed to “extremely careless” between May 4, 2016 and May 6, 2016… by none other than Peter Strzok.
— Mark Meadows (@RepMarkMeadows) January 24, 2018
Think about how important that is. We have a text from Peter Strzok talking about the pressure to end the Clinton investigation, and then–within 48 hours–documents suggesting Peter Strzok changed Dir. Comey’s letter from criminal charges to just “carelessness.” That’s major.
— Mark Meadows (@RepMarkMeadows) January 24, 2018
Folks, this stinks to high heaven. If this is anything what it looks like–the FBI changing course on investigation, putting their thumb on the scale to undermine Donald Trump and essentially help Hillary Clinton–that is as wrong as it gets. This demands further investigation.
— Mark Meadows (@RepMarkMeadows) January 24, 2018
And remember, this doesn’t even address a host of other questions! The dossier. The Carter Page FISA application (that they still won’t show us). The 5 months of mysteriously “missing” Page/Strzok texts. The FBI communicating with Fusion GPS/DNC-hired Christopher Steele. Come on.
— Mark Meadows (@RepMarkMeadows) January 24, 2018
This is not party politics. This is not partisan bickering. This is an issue that gets at the very heart of who we are as a nation. If any officials at the FBI were engaged in this kind of behavior, we need to know.
— Mark Meadows (@RepMarkMeadows) January 24, 2018
Bottom line: tell us the truth. Tell us the truth about what happened with the Clinton investigation, the 2016 election, and leading up to this “collusion” investigation. All of it. Americans deserve the truth.
— Mark Meadows (@RepMarkMeadows) January 24, 2018
Wow. I know that was a lot to take in, but Meadows did a terrific job distilling the stakes involved in the Mueller investigation. The coincidences are one too many. It really does seem like something is rotten in the state of the FBI. Thankfully, Republicans like Mark Meadows are getting to the bottom of the dirty deeds.
Share this story with others now! We need the truth about the Hillary email scandal and Mueller’s fraudulent investigation!
