The Federal Bureau of Investigation has seen better days. While there
is zero evidence of collusion, the political Left thinks Russia’s
meddling in our 2016 election helped tilt the race in Donald Trump’s
favor. Congress has launched investigations into the matter. Yet, it seems the meddling was also coming from within the halls of the J. Edgar Hoover Building. We have a since demoted DOJ official meeting with the author of the infamous Trump dossier, former MI6 operative Christopher Steele. To boot, his wife worked
for the firm that hired Steele during the 2016 election. Concerning
other bias, you have Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s top lieutenant,
Andrew Weissmann, being spotted at Hillary Clinton’s election night
party, the same man who voiced praise for then-acting Attorney General
Sally Yates for defying the White House in refusing to enforce its
executive order on immigration.
Yet, the 10,000 texts sent between FBI agent Peter Strzok and bureau lawyer Lisa Page, with whom he was having an extramarital affair, have become the subject of concern. Yes, the texts are anti-Trump and pro-Hillary, with the timeline of such communications beginning in August 15, 2015-December 1, 2016. The August 15, 2016 text between Page and Strzok is the one that's raised eyebrows because the former was a top counter-intelligence agent at the time, who mentioned something about “insurance” against a Trump presidency. What is that? Strzok did sign off on the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into the Trump-Russia connection that began in July of 2016. Is that what he meant? The Wall Street Journal noted the rather troubling instances that have potentially damaged the integrity of the FBI and the Department of Justice. So, what about disclosure concerning these activities and will we get any answers? As the Journal’s Kim Strassel wrote on December 14, the FBI seems more concerned about hiding their potentially bad, or embarrassing, behavior. She aptly noted that this has nothing to do with protecting national security.
