WSJ: Russia Investigation Was The 'Insurance Policy' Mentioned in FBI Agent's Texts

The "insurance policy" which FBI agent Peter Strzok said was needed on the off chance presidential candidate Donald Trump won the election was the Russian collusion investigation, according to a new report in the Wall Street Journal.

Strzok and his mistress Lisa Page, whom he sent the incriminating texts to, were both hired by Special Council Robert Mueller to help in the Russia investigation only to be later fired after evidence of their bias came to light.

From Wall Street Journal:
An FBI agent’s reference to “an insurance policy” in a much-debated text message was meant to convey that the bureau needed to aggressively investigate allegations of collusion between Donald Trump’s campaign and Russia, according to people familiar with his account.

The agent didn’t intend to suggest a secret plan to harm the candidate but rather address a colleague who believed the Federal Bureau of Investigation could take its time because Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton was certain to win the election, the people said.

The text was one of many that have recently emerged in which FBI Agent Peter Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page disparaged Mr. Trump, calling him an “idiot” and “loathsome human,” among other things.

Republicans have cited the texts as evidence of bias. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa), who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, wrote the Justice Department: “Some of these texts appear to go beyond merely expressing a private political opinion, and appear to cross the line into taking some official action to create an ‘insurance policy’ against a Trump presidency.”

Mr. Strzok was the lead agent on the FBI investigation into Mrs. Clinton’s use of a private email server while secretary of state. Until late July, he was also the top investigator in special counsel Robert Mueller’s office, but Mr. Mueller removed him after learning of the texts.

The Justice Department’s Inspector General is examining the texts as part of an investigation of how the FBI and Justice Department handled the Clinton inquiry.

Few of the messages have attracted as much attention as the one sent by Mr. Strzok to Ms. Page in August 2016 mentioning an “insurance policy,” which critics have read as reflecting an intent to prevent Mr. Trump from winning.

Mr. Strzok wrote, “I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy’s 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…”
The writer of the piece, Del Quentin Wilber, is trying to claim on Twitter this is all harmless.



Only a journalist could be so stupid as to believe that crap.

I have no doubt they were planning on using this "Russkie collusion" garbage as a battering ram to smash Donald Trump after the election just to send a message, but more seriously they laid out plans for shutting down alternative media through the so-called "Countering Disinformation And Propaganda Act." Net Neutrality had similar rules which a Clinton regime could have used for censorship. One look at how the FBI and CIA have treated Trump since getting elected makes it abundantly clear this insurance policy was about overturning the election.





Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder is out threatening a revolution if Trump tries to shut this witch-hunt down:




Comey, who got outplayed like hell by Trump, is busy sending weird, cryptic tweets all day:






It sounds like he doesn't want to get arrested.

This report is more confirmation to show the "insurance policy" was this Russia witch hunt. We need a serious investigation of Strzok, Comey, Brennan, Sally Yates, Rosenstein and all the other cronies who helped organize this scheme. Unlike with Trump and Russia, you can be damn sure the evidence they find will be overwhelming.
