Former FBI lawyer Lisa Page said to be cooperative during Capitol Hill meeting about anti-Trump textsBy Karoun Demirjian
July 13 at 7:24 PM
Republican lawmakers contend that former FBI lawyer Lisa Page provided new information during private testimony Friday that further convinces them political bias marred the investigations of Hillary Clintons emails and the Trump campaigns alleged ties to Russia.
Though they offered no specifics, several GOP congressmen characterized Page as cooperative, forthcoming and transparent during her interview with the House Judiciary and Oversight and Government Reform committees. The closed-door session lasted nearly five hours and was expected to resume Monday afternoon.
They also said Page addressed questions that went unanswered during the public testimony Thursday of FBI agent Peter Strzok, who cited orders from the bureau not to disclose certain details about its work on the Clinton and Trump probes.
Pages lawyer declined to respond to a request for comment.
Page and Strzok came to lawmakers attention because of anti-Trump text messages they exchanged while having a romantic affair, material uncovered by the Justice Departments inspector general during an internal probe of the FBIs handling of the Clinton email investigation. Both briefly served on special counsel Robert S. Mueller IIIs investigative team, which is focused on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and whether anyone associated with the Trump campaign aided those efforts.

Im sure they need to figure out how to make themselves look better- and since it was closed door they can say whatever they want.

GOPers are scared, but they do have a microphone - the real fake news (Murdoch, sin sin clair, and hate radio) all of which do not believe in democracy.
