A newly revealed text message suggests that fired FBI official Peter Strzok was ready to spring into action in January 2017 when CNN reported that President Trump had been briefed about allegations in the salacious and unverified Steele dossier.
Strzok seemed downright eager to exploit the CNN report as a "Pretext" to go "Interview some people" as part of the FBI's investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian government, according to the text message.
"Sitting with Bill watching CNN. A TON more out," the excited former FBI counterintelligence official texted to his paramour, FBI lawyer Lisa Page, on January 10, 2017."Hey let me know when you can talk. We're discussing whether, now that this is out, we use it as a pretext to go interview some people," added Strzok, meaning the allegations in the dossier, which was authored by former British spy Christopher Steele and financed by Democrats.
Both former President Obama and President-elect Trump received classified briefings with intelligence chiefs that day on the unconfirmed claims made in the dossier.
The Daily Caller's Chuck Ross points out that former FBI Director James Comey wrote in a memo released in April 2018, that pressure from news outlets, "CNN in particular," had convinced him to brief President-elect Donald Trump on the infamous dossier.
"I said media like CNN had and were looking for a news hook," Comey wrote in a memo just after briefing Trump about the dossier's salacious allegations.
As the FBI's lead investigator on the probe into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian government, Strzok would go on to conduct at least one interview of a Trump campaign official.
