    The worst of these texts so far is more than enough to blow up the Mueller investigation. It looks like there was a conspiracy to destroy Trump if he was elected by this FBI insider who played a prominent role in the Mueller team.

    "Later in a text from August 15, 2016, Strzok tells Page: "I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy's office" -- an apparent reference to Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe -- "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 the unlikely event you die before you're 40 "

    Yes. What was this "insurance policy" the FBI was discussing in case Trump got elected?

    THE WALL STREET JOURNAL EDITORIALIZES: The FBI’s Trump ‘Insurance:’ More troubling evidence of election meddling at the bureau.

    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. Mueller’s team is doing so much to undermine its own credibility?

    Wednesday’s revelations—they’re coming almost daily—include the Justice Department’s 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.

    “I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy’s office—that there’s no way [Trump] gets elected—but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk,” Mr. Strzok wrote Ms. Page in an Aug. 15, 2016 text. He added: “It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40.”

    What “policy” would that be? The “Andy” 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 “insurance”?

    In another exchange that month, Ms. Page forwarded a Trump-related article and wrote: “Maybe you’re meant to stay where you are because you’re meant to protect the country from that menace.” He thanked her and assured: “Of course I’ll try and approach it that way.” Mr. Strzok, recall, is the man who changed the words “grossly negligent” to “extremely careless” in James Comey’s July 2016 public exoneration of Hillary Clinton’s emails.

    The McCabe meeting came on the heels of the FBI’s 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 wouldn’t typically resist turning those messages over to Congress for as long as Mr. Mueller did.

    Meanwhile, we’re learning more about the political motives of Mr. Mueller’s lieutenant, Andrew Weissmann.

    This is the beginning of the end of the Mueller investigation and probably his career too. He really screwed this up big-time.

    Here are some more good ones these 2 are disgusting Democrats, absolutely disgusting, can't believe this stuff. All this stuff is on Politico so there's no right wing this or that.

    “I just saw my first Bernie Sanders bumper sticker. Made me want to key the car," Page wrote

    He’s an idiot like Trump. Figure they cancel each other out,” Strzok replied.

    Page exclaimed: "God trump is a loathsome human....omg he's an idiot."

    "God Hillary should win 100,000,000 - 0," Strzok wrote in March 2016

    "Also did you hear [Trump] make a comment about the size of his d*ck earlier? This man can not be president," Page said later in the exchange.

    Page expressed concern that the “sandernistas” might undercut Clinton’s campaign.
    “I’m not worried about them.
    “Maybe you’re meant to stay where you are because you’re meant to protect the country from that menace,” Page wrote.
    “I can protect our country at many levels,” Strzok replied.

    "Sessions for DoD or AG," Page wrote on Nov. 15, about a week after the election.
    "Which is the f-ed uppedness of it ... Sessions for AG," Strzok wrote back.
    "Good god," Page replied.

    Page speculated on Ohio Gov. John Kasich’s sexuality, saying he was “long suspected of being gay.”
    The agents also don’t seem to have been fans of Attorney General Eric Holder.
    “Oh God, Holder! Turn it off turn it off turn it off!!!!” Strzok wrote when Holder appeared at the Democratic National Convention in July 2016.
    Yeah, I saw him yesterday and booed at the TV,” Page replied.

    DNC email server hack that no LEO/Congressional body ever got to prove happened.

    Claims that the FBI was trying to buy confessions that the DNC hack was the order of Putin.

    People who have no business even practicing law being piled onto the Mueller team for the specific purpose of putting their skills in violating civil rights to use.

    Elements within the FBI that have now been proven to have acted to diminish Hillary's actual crimes and now possibly manufacture ones to accuse Trump of.

    Reports that Mueller's team is using threats of life imprisonment, destitution, and against charges family members in order to get people to lie about Trump.

    Maybe the "Russian collusion" scandal is the insurance policy.

    The Repubs will need to get to the bottom of this Insurance Policy that these leftists were talking about. Moreover they shouldn't have any trouble showing the Bias of the FBI.


    Here We Go: Judicial Watch Sues For Peter Strzok’s Records.....


    Government watchdog Judicial Watch, famous for breaking scandals wide open, has issued a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the Federal Bureau of Investigation to obtain the records of FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok.

    “It is disturbing the FBI has stonewalled our request about the Mr. Strzok demotion for four months,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement. “One can only conclude the FBI and Justice Department (including Mr. Mueller’s operation) wanted to hide the truth about how Strzok’s and Page’s political biases and misconduct have compromised both the Clinton email and Russia collusion investigations.”......snip~

    What would really bail him out, is getting fired.

    Did you know that he screwed up the anthax letters so badly, after falsely locking on to a government servant, hounding him for years and screwing up his life so badly that the US taxpayers had to give him $6M when the real culprit suddenly fell into their laps?

    I'm not sure why any thinks he is a great prosecutor. He seems more like a dogged muscle head.

    Well, the Wall Street Editorial Page has always been a trip to bizzaro world, in an otherwise excellent newspaper. Sometimes, it gets as ridiculous as American Thinker!

    The Murdoch media in general has gone all in for Trump, and the WSJ is no exception. In the last few days they have fully embraced the White House's noise campaign against the Mueller investigation.

    Read this carefully, and you'll see that there is nothing more to this than two federal employees discussing their opinion of political candidate. That's it.

    Trump has long since lived down to their lowest expectations, but that's another story.

    From the start I wondered how botching the anthrax investigation so badly made him qualified to run this investigation. It made no sense.

    Judicial Watch is not a government watchdog.

    It is a right wing poltical attack organization which has devoted most of its existance to campaigns against Bill and Hillary Clinton.

    They have done little else.

    A lot of people are pretty sure that something big is about to happen.

    The clearest indicator is the volume of the noise campaign currently underway, and the way the Justice Department is clearly doing everything it can to supply fodder to this campaign without directly interfering in the investigation.

    Mueller is a member in good standing of the elite ruling class that wants Trump gone as much or more than Democrats do.
