Strzok-Page Texts: Obama Wants to Know Everything We're Doing; It's Little Wonder That Andy McCabe's Wife Lost Her Election, Because Her District is Filled with "Ignorant Hillbillies"
Mixing dirty business with dirty pleasure.
Newly revealed text messages between FBI paramours Peter Strzok and Lisa Page include an exchange about preparing talking points for then-FBI Director James Comey to give to President Obama, who wanted "to know everything we're doing."
...
Page wrote to Strzok on Sept. 2, 2016, about prepping Comey because "potus wants to know everything we're doing." According to a newly released Senate report, this text raises questions about Obama's personal involvement in the Clinton email investigation.
Here's the Hillbilly Memorandum:
That text came from Strzok to Page on Nov. 4, 2015, the day after Jill McCabe lost a hotly contested Virginia state Senate election. Strzok said of the result, "Disappointing, but look at the district map. Loudon is being gentrified, but it's still largely ignorant hillbillys. Good for her for running, but curious if she's energized or never again."
This is really important: Strzok himself went to look at the emails discovered on Anthony Weiner's computer. On September 28th, 2016.
Remember, McCabe sat on these emails for a month -- the Comey letter informing Congress about them didn't issue until October 28th, and judicial approval to look further into the emails wasn't sought until after even that.
So here's Fzokhead talking about all the work he will be doing reading these emails and showing his great displeasure that "this will never end."
On Sept. 28, 2016, Strzok wrote to Page, "Got called up to Andy's [McCabe] earlier.. hundreds of thousands of emails turned over by Weiner's atty to sdny [Southern District of New York], includes a ton of material from spouse [Huma Abedin]. Sending team up tomorrow to review... this will never end."
Other texts aren't as important, or tell us stuff we already knew -- like how incredibly biased this Power Adulterous Couple was in favor of Hillary and against Trump:
On Election Day 2016, Page wrote, "OMG THIS IS F***ING TERRIFYING." Strzok replied, "Omg, I am so depressed." Later that month, on Nov. 13, 2016, Page wrote, "I bought all the president's men. Figure I need to brush up on watergate."
Yeah that's called evidence of motive.
The next day, Nov. 14, 2016, Page wrote, “God, being here makes me angry. Lots of high fallutin’ national security talk. Meanwhile we have OUR task ahead of us.”
Page's meaning here is unclear, but according to the Senate report, coupled with Strzok's Aug. 15 text about an "insurance policy," further investigation is warranted to find out what actions the two may have taken.
The last text is from June of 2017, when Page wrote to Strzok, "never text me again." The article notes that this could just be a tiff, or it could be the couple realizing that their texts may be evidence.
For the Democrat rebuttal to all this, see Ed Morrrissey at former conservative site Hot Air, who serves up a main course of Nothing to See Here with a side of Obama's Allowed to Give Orders to His Employees (a side that Hot Air never seems to serve up when we're talking about Trump giving orders to his employees).
