NYPost | In one text message, an agent suggests that Attorney General Loretta
Lynch knew while the investigation was still going on that the FBI would
not recommend charges against Clinton.
How could she know unless the fix was in?
All roads in the explosive developments lead to James Comey, whose
Boy Scout image belied a sinister belief that he, like his infamous
predecessor J. Edgar Hoover, was above the law.
It is why I named him J. Edgar Comey last year
and wrote that he was “adept at using innuendo and leaks” to let
everybody in Washington know they could be the next to be investigated.
It was in the office of Comey’s top deputy, Andrew McCabe, where
agents discussed an “insurance policy” in the event that Trump won.
Reports indicated that the Russia collusion probe was that insurance
policy.
The text was from Peter Strzok, the top investigator on the Trump
case, and was sent to Lisa Page, an FBI lawyer and also his mistress.
“I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy’s
office — that there’s no way he gets elected — but I’m afraid we can’t
take that risk. It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you
die before you’re 40 . . .,” Strzok wrote.
It is frightening that Strzok, who called Trump “an idiot,” was the lead investigator on both the Clinton and Trump cases.
After these messages surfaced, special counsel Robert Mueller removed
Strzok and Page from his probe, though both still work at the FBI.
Strzok, despite his talk of an “insurance policy” in 2016, wrote in
May 2017 that he was skeptical that Mueller’s probe would find anything
on Trump because “there’s no big there there.”
Talk about irony. While Dems and the left-wing media already found
Trump guilty of collusion before Mueller was appointed, the real scandal
might be the conduct of the probers themselves.
Suspicions are hardly allayed by the fact that the FBI says it can’t
find five months of messages between Strzok and Page, who exchanged an
estimated 50,000 messages overall. The missing period — Dec. 14, 2016,
through May 17, 2017 — was a crucial time in Washington.
There were numerous leaks of classified material just before and after Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20.
And the president fired Comey last May 9, provoking an intense
lobbying effort for a special counsel, which led to Mueller’s
appointment on May 19.
