BREAKING NEWS TRUMP 1/23/18: Hannity - Missing Text Messages
BREAKING: FBI SECRET SOCIETY EXPOSED BY PETER STRZOK LISA PAGE TEXT MESSAGES. TREY GOWDY INTERVIEW
H.A.
Goodman
22
January, 2018
Congressional
investigators learned from a new batch of text messages between
anti-Trump FBI investigators that a "secret society of folks"
within the Department of Justice and the FBI may have come together
in the "immediate aftermath" of the 2016 election to
undermine President Trump, according to Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-TX)
who has reviewed the texts.
The thousands of texts @TGowdySC and I reviewed today revealed manifest bias among top FBI officials against @realDonaldTrump. The texts between Strzok and Page referenced a "secret society."
The
new texts were included in a 384-page DOJ document release to
Congressional investigators last Friday - during which Congress was
notified in the cover letter that that five months of text messages
from December 14, 2016 to May 17, 2017 have gone missing (If only the
NSA had copies).
Ratcliffe
was joined by Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) to discuss the latest
developments with Fox News host Martha McCallum, when Ratcliffe said:
What
we learned today in the thousands of text messages that weve reviewed
that perhaps they may not have done that (checked their bias at the
door). There's certainly a factual basis to question whether or not
they acted on that bias. We know about this insurance policy that was
referenced in trying to prevent Donald Trump from becoming president.
We
learned today from information that in the immediate aftermath of his
election that there may have been a secret society of folks within
the Department of Justice and the FBI to include Page and Strzok to
be working against him.
Watch:
Rep.
Gowdy deflected a question over a second special counsel, but
mentioned "a text about not keeping texts," and "more
manifest bias against President Trump all the way through the
election into the transition," and finally Gowdy said he saw a
text that "Director Comey was going to update the President of
the United States about an investigation" which would have been
Obama - and may, Gowdy speculates, have been about the Trump team.
Gowdy on FBI text messages: "Today we saw a text about not keeping texts."
Regarding
the "secret society," Gowdy said "You have this
insurance policy in Spring 2016, and then the day after the election,
what they really didn't want to have happen, there is a text exchange
between these two FBI agents, these supposed to be fact-centric FBI
agents saying, 'Perhaps this is the first meeting of the secret
society.' So I'm going to want to know what secret society you are
talking about, because you're supposed to be investigating
objectively the person who just won the electoral college. So yeah --
I'm going to want to know."
As
we have been reporting over the last two days, the FBI "lost"
five months of text messages between anti-Trump FBI agents Peter
Strzok and Lisa Page.
The
explanation for the gap was "misconfiguration issues related to
rollouts, provisioning, and software upgrades that conflicted with
the FBI's collection capabilities."
The
missing texts conveniently span the period between Dec. 14, 2016 and
May 17, 2017 - the day Robert Mueller was appointed to take over the
FBI's probe of alleged Trump-Russia collusion, and during the period
in which the FBI would ostensibly have been hard at work on their
"insurance policy" against a Trump victory - and during the
period in which the "secret society" Rep. Ratcliffe
referred to would have been hard at work.
A
controversy also emerged following the revelation over the missing
"textgate" - in that the DOJ's internal investigative unit,
the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) wrote a letter in December
of last year specifically stating that they had obtained text
messages from Strzok and Page covering the "missing" period
revealed last Friday.
Alas,
it appears the Inspector General Michael Horowitz made this statement
in error, as Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a Monday
statement that Horrowitz was in fact the one who "discovered the
FBI's system failed to retain text messages for approximately 5
months," which was confirmed by Fox News.
A
Justice Department spokesperson told Fox News that the Departments
Office of Inspector General also does not have any text messages
between the two during that time period.
Not
to worry - the DOJ, known for its honesty, will leave "no stone
unturned."
"Jaw-dropping" Text Message By FBI Agent Suggests No Trump Collusion With Russia
23
January, 2018
And
the hits just keep on coming.
Just
hours after we reported that according to the latest batch of text
messages between anti-Trump FBI investigators, a "secret society
of folks" within the DOJ and the FBI may have come together in
the "immediate aftermath" of the 2016 election to undermine
President Trump, another blockbuster text message appears to have
emerged.
Wisconsin
Sen. Ron Johnson, the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and
Governmental Affairs Committee, said in a radio interview that the
FBI’s top agent on the Trump-Russia investigation, Peter Strzok,
sent what Johnson called a "jaw-dropping" text message last
year that suggests he saw no evidence of Trump campaign collusion.
As
first reported by the Daily Caller's Chuck Ross, in an interview with
WISN-Milwaukee radio host Jay Weber, Johnson read aloud a May 19,
2017 text that Strzok sent to Lisa Page, an FBI lawyer and his
mistress.
As
Weber summarized, "Sen Ron Johnson tells me he's discovered a
text from Peter Strzok 2 days after the Mueller investigation in
which he questions whether he wants to be part of it because he
believes 'there's nothing there'. No collusion."
The Strozk text verbatim on joining the Mueller investigation: May 19th, 2017- 'You and I both know the odds are nothing. If I thought it was likely, I'd be there no question. I hesitate in part because of my gut sense and concern that there's no big there there.'
Here
is the "jawdropping" text message that Strzok wrote just
two days after Mueller was named special counsel for the Russia
Investigation:
"You
and I both know the odds are nothing. If I thought it was likely, I’d
be there no question. I hesitate in part because of my gut sense and
concern that there’s no big there there."

Johnson
said that the text referred to the Mueller investigation, which had
kicked off two days earlier. Strzok joined that team, but was removed
in July after the Justice Department’s inspector general discovered
his anti-Trump text exchanges with Page.
As
the FBI’s deputy counterintelligence chief, Strzok had been picked
in July 2016 to oversee the investigation into possible Trump
campaign collusion with the Russian government; in other words the
text message came almost one year after the anti-Trump FBI agent had
already done preliminary work on whether there was any Trump
collusion. Prior to that, he was a top investigator on the Clinton
email inquiry.
“I
think that’s kind of jaw-dropping,” said Johnson, a Republican,
said of the Strzok text.
“In
other words, Peter Strzok, who was the FBI deputy assistant director
of the counterintelligence division, the man who had a plan to do
something because he just couldn’t abide Donald Trump being
president, is saying that his gut sense is that there’s no big
there there when it comes to the Mueller special counsel
investigation,” Johnson explained.

This
particular text message was included in 400 pages of text messages
exchanged between Strzok and Page. Lawmakers have started reviewing
the trove of documents for evidence of anti-Trump and pro-Clinton
bias as part of an ongoing investigation. Yesterday AG Jeff Sessions
announced that the DOJ was also beginning an investigation into the
months of missing text message that the FBI had failed to preserve.
Johnson
also addressed the revelation last Friday that the FBI “failed to
preserve” five months worth of text messages exchanged between
Strzok and Page. A Justice Department official told Johnson’s
committee and five other congressional panels that a
“misconfiguration” issue caused “many” FBI-issued mobile
devices to not back up to the bureau’s servers.
In
a shocking disclosure late last week the FBI said it did not have
text messages for Strzok and Page for the period between Dec. 14,
2016 and May 17, 2017 — the day that Mueller was appointed.
Johnson
said that Congress needs to see the missing text messages because
Strzok and Page were “completely unguarded in their communication.”
“So
we’re getting insight into exactly what is happening inside the FBI
at the highest levels. And who knows who else they might implicate in
terms of corruption,” he said.
Meanwhile
the question of just who was obstructing justice - Trump or the FBI
and the DOJ - is becoming increasingly more pressing with each
passing day.
