Magically this makes the front page but nothing on the unmasking, 702 scandal.
https://www.newyorker.com/news/ryan-lizza/the-continuing-fal...
Our intelligence services were weaponized to spy on the opposition party illegally during an election year.
Senior FBI, DOJ, and Obama white house officials have engaged in a coordinated attempt to prevent Trump from gaining office and once in office to mire his presidency in scandal and possibly even impeachment.
All the facts are coming to light, But most commenters here are letting the media completely filter their information.
Ill be surprised if my comment sees the light of day.
So far everything that has come out has disproved all of the claims in the memo, including the memo itself!
And of course your comment won't get anywhere, you just made up a bunch of nonsense. For example, I read the text messages. I didn't know that a calendar of Putin is now Obama's conspiracy to destroy Trump. Those scoundrels!
The fact you believe intelligence services have or should have opposition parties is terrifying. I can understand why this sentiment translates into believing intelligence services should or do fall under the President's direct control.
They showed that he supported John Kasich. Your comment, however, shows pretty clearly where your loyalties lie.
> They showed that he supported John Kasich.
Strzok – He asked me who I’d vote for, guessed Kasich. Page – Seriously?! Would you not D? Strzok – I don’t know. I suppose Hillary. Page – I would D.
Not exactly ringing endorsement of Kasich. Later:
Strzok - Exacty re Kasich. And he has ZERO appeal
Also:
Page - God Trump is loathsome human. Strzok – Yet he many win. Strzok – Good for Hillary. Page – It is. Strzok – Would he be a worse president than Cruz? Page –Trump?, yes I think so Strzok – I’m not sure. Strzok – Omg he’s an idiot. Page – He’s awful Strzok – America will get what the voting public deserves. Page – That’s what I’m afraid of.
Strzok – God Hillary should win. 100,000,000-0. Page – I know
Strzok – That Texas article is depressing as hell. But answers how we could end up with President trump Page – Wasn’t it? Seriously, how are people so incredible ignorant? Strzok – I have no idea, but it depresses me. Same people who drive more when they get extra daylight from daylight savings, I’m guessing.
Strzok – They fully deserve to go, and demonstrate the absolute bigoted nonsense of Trump
Strzok – God that’s a great article. Thanks for sharing. And F TRUMP.
And so on and so forth. I mean, there's nothing wrong with a person thinking "F TRUMP". Except when the person is also in charge of investigations that may actually "f Trump" and benefit his opponents. In this case, it might be better to actually have somebody with more balanced approach.
Do you have evidence that these texts ever had an impact on this agent's approach? Or are you just speculating to fog the entire discussion?
Did you have this same concern when Republicans were investigating Benghazi and later admitted it was explicitly meant to hurt Hillary politically? That doesn't seem like a "balanced approach" at investigation (https://www.cnn.com/2015/10/14/politics/hillary-clinton-beng...).
How about Guiliani talking about a "very big surprise" a few days before the Comey memo? Did he get that information from FBI agents? Again, doesn't seem like a "balanced approach" to me (http://www.businessinsider.com/giuliani-hinted-fbi-new-inves...).
I sure hope your outrage crosses the aisle.
1) a 4-page memo[1] with a note from the white house on why they're releaseing this.
2) some text messages[2]
Some of it seems pretty damning, but I haven't personally done enough research to make a really informed opinion. I just wanted to put these links here to save anyone looking some trouble digging around for a starting point.
