As Trump-Russia goes cold, Clinton-Comey turns up smoking gun

Text messages released by the Department of Justice Tuesday revealed an extreme anti-Trump bias by Peter Strzok, a former senior member of special counsel Robert Mueller’s election probe team. The texts also hint at the possibility that the James Comey-led FBI may have had a plan to illegally thwart Trump’s presidential ambitions.

Following an internal Justice Department investigation, agent Strzok was quietly reassigned from his senior post at the FBI to a human resources position in the Bureau. It’s unclear at this time whether his text messages had anything to do with his reassignment. He was exchanging messages with Lisa Page, a fellow FBI official at the time, during the 2016 election campaign, according to reports.

Some have argued that Strzok did no wrong, because he had every right to criticize and use explicit language to target then-candidate Trump in his private exchanges. Strzok and Page frequently called the president “an idiot,” or “awful,” which is 100 percent their right to do as observers of politics.

However, some of the texts hint at the possibility that Strzok may have stepped over that line, and that he moved beyond simply expressing his discontent with the Republican presidential nominee.

One particular text may be interpreted as strategizing to interfere in the electoral process — what could be understood as discussing a plan to work with FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe to stop Trump from becoming president.

“I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy’s (McCabe) 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 texted Page in 2016.

Andrew McCarthy, a former federal prosecutor, remarks that the text “clearly indicates” that Strzok was “infected by political viewpoints,” describing the text as “disqualifying.”

The text’s possible reference to Andrew McCabe raises another giant red flag about Comey’s deputy.

Although McCabe’s wife was running for office with the help of Clinton allies, the FBI deputy director refused to recuse himself from the Clinton email investigation until one week before the presidential election. Judicial Watch later found out that he was using his work email account to spread the word about his wife’s political ambitions.

It’s worth recalling that the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee paid for the research into the infamous “Trump-Russia” dossier. The FBI (under James Comey and McCabe) then reportedly paid for this information and used the mostly debunked dossier to wiretap Trump advisers.

The ongoing investigation into the 2016 election was far from a smooth-running ship prior to these latest revelations. Peter Strzok is far from the only extreme partisan on Mueller’s investigation team.

There’s Jeannie Rhee, who recently served as an attorney for top Obama White House adviser Ben Rhodes. Andrew Weissmann, who reportedly attended Hillary Clinton’s election night party. And Aaron Zebley, Mueller’s “right-hand man,” who served as the attorney for Hillary Clinton’s infamous IT staffer, Justin Cooper, who was responsible for destroying her Blackberry phone.

In addition, it appears that Mueller has hired exclusively Democrats for his investigation. Two of his lawyers gave the maximum donation to Hillary Clinton’s campaign for president.

Due to his extreme partisan bias, there is perhaps zero public trust left in Robert Mueller’s ability to conduct a fair investigation into the 2016 election. Moreover, the recently published Strzok text messages provide more evidence that the Comey FBI was corrupt to its core.

And with all of that going on, one year into the Trump administration, zero evidence has emerged to substantiate many Democrats’ claims that Trump colluded with the Russians to win the election. “Trump-Russia” appears to be a full-blown hoax. However, the same can’t be said about the very real possibility of Comey-Clinton collusion.
