Peter Strzok is a Grade A moron

How did this guy rise so high in the FBI? Why the heck is he texting his coworker (who he is having an affair with) about Clinton, Trump, Mueller, etc? Dude, its called pillow talk! Anyone with half a brain knows not to write down anything you don't want people to read later. Texts, email, phone records. C'mon man!

I don't think there is any malice there, but you know the RWNJs are gonna latch onto this idiot. We need this case to be air tight. I'm glad Mueller shit canned him, but why did Strzok think it would be a good idea to involve himself in the first place? Rant over.

They will be found.

Strzok and Page, worked for the FBI, and still decided to text message some really stupid things on company phones. What the hell were they thinking????

The articles I've seen on it never seem to explicitly say it one way or another...

Probably was but I just haven't seen it 100%

One of the few links outside the RW news sources:
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-fbi-clinton/senator-says-fbi-lost-crucial-texts-tied-to-clinton-probe-idUSKBN1FA15O

"Congressional Republicans have been focusing on Strzok and Page in recent weeks after learning the two had exchanged anti-Trump text messages on their work-issued cell phones."

Thats what makes this so bizarre for supposedly smart people. Why would you ever text some of the things they are texting ON A WORK PHONE!?!?!?

I'm sure republicans do the same thing, but unless you've been hiding under a rock the last 20 years, it only matters if a democrat does it.

counter intelligence operation. Just something to keep Rs busy while they do the real investigative work on their very real target.

Whiners can't even see that sending 50,000 texts is barely physically possible over a short period of time with a full time job, a spouse, sleep, etc..

Like high ranking F.B.I. agents don't understand their communications are monitored. It's all key word stuff.

Leakers are just outing themselves as leakers. None of these texts have approval from OIG to be released to the press. DOJ OPA consulted senior career legal/ethics experts (KING Leaker). I'm sure AG and Raymond told Sarah to release it to the press. And she did.

but it's innocuous as far as the investigation is concerned. The right ring will hang their hat on ANYTHING in order to smear the Mueller team and protect their criminal president.

Mueller is a registered republican, as well as Comey. You'll never hear the right wing mention that.

I'd love to get my mitts on the emails of the Nunes, Gowdy and the other idiots who have just put giant neon signs over their heads that say "Investigate Me."
