FBI Officials Discussed ‘Insurance Policy’ Against Trump Presidency

Audio By Carbonatix

Two FBI officials who worked on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation exchanged text messages last year in which they appear to have discussed ways to prevent Donald Trump from being elected president.

The Daily Caller reports FBI counterintelligence official Peter Strzok wrote in a cryptic text message to Lisa Page, an FBI lawyer and his mistress, about a path to insure “that there’s no way [Trump] gets elected.”

The text message is one of hundreds released Tuesday night ahead of a House Judiciary Committee hearing with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein today. 

Strzok was a top investigator before being kicked off of Mueller’s team over the summer after the text messages were discovered.

It remains unclear why the existence of the texts was not disclosed until now.
