Ex CIA Analyst: FBI 'Short-Circuited' Democracy in 2016 Vote, Not Russia

Russia-gate is more likely turning into FBI-gate, in the aftermath of the official release of strings of unguarded text messages between Peter Strzok, second in command of counterintelligence at the CIA and his loose-lipped girlfriend, FBI lawyer Lisa Page.
In a special report  published on Consortiumnews, former CIA analyst Ray McGovern stated that due to Strzok and Page’s general cyber security negligence in conducting their private affairs through office phones, there appeared documented proof that key US intelligence figures were trying to undermine the democratic process in the US.
"Despite his former job as chief of the FBI’s counterintelligence section, Strzok had the naive notion that texting on FBI phones could not be traced. Strzok must have slept through 'Security 101.' Or perhaps he was busy texting during that class," McGovern wrote.
More of the Strzok-Page texting dialogue is expected to be released. The Department of Justice Inspector General has reportedly obtained damaging texts from others on the team that Special Counsel Robert Mueller engaged in his Russia-gate investigation.
In one of the messages, Page assumed Strzok was meant to stay where he was "because you’re meant to protect the country from that menace [Trump]," thus using his leverage in the agency to meet that objective.
