Government Watchdog Obtains Additional Emails, Texts Between FBI Lovebirds Strzok and Page
A public-interest legal firm and think-tank on Friday began receiving the first 87 pages of records from the U.S. Department of Justice exposing the office gossip and anti-Trump conspiracy of former FBI counter-intelligence official Peter Strzok and FBI in-house attorney Lisa Page.
The communications between the two lovers — both of whom are married – reveals the lovebirds’ disdain for the FBI hierarchy and policies. In spite of their knowing what the two lovers believed hasn’t put an end to the FBI or the Justice Department from resistance to Fitton watchdog group, Judicial Watch, written request for a court order to be issued in order to preserve Page-Strzok communications including emails, memos and other communications between the two “Trump-haters.”
The Strzok-Page anti-Trump, anti-GOP voter text messages became center-stage amid allegations of bias at the Bureau, according to the joint session of the House Judiciary Committee and the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
Judicial Watch obtained the documents through a January 2018 Freedom of Information (FOIA) lawsuit filed after the DOJ failed to respond to a December 4, 2017, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request: The lawsuit sought and continues to seek:
- All records of communications, including but not limited to, emails, text messages and instant chats, between FBI official Peter Strzok and FBI attorney Lisa Page.
- All travel requests, travel authorizations, travel vouchers and expense reports of Peter Strzok.
- All travel requests, travel authorizations, travel vouchers and expense reports of Lisa Page..
Emails between Strzok and Page include conversations about a change in FBI policy that eventually would allow companies to discuss National Security Letters, which are secret non-court issued subpoenas for records:
Judicial Watch’s President Tom Fitton appeared on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” to discuss additional emails and texts between FBI the adulterous lovers, Strzok and Page, which were released during an explosive House hearing.
Additional emails and texts between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page which were released during the explosive House hearing makes many observers believe that there is more such material that may further expose the corruption that exists in both the FBI and Justice Department.
“Judicial Watch is in court successfully getting Strzok-Page documents thus far denied to Congress,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “Yet the Justice Department is stonewalling and even protecting Strzok and Page by battling our request for preservation order to ensure that no government documents are destroyed.”
This situation causes Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton to wonder how the Mueller investigation can still be going on after all of the bias and unfairness that exists in the federal law enforcement and intelligence communities is uncovered?
“We’ve never seen this level of secrecy and outright obstruction on the part of the Department of Justice and the FBI. It extends from the current top brass (Assistant Attorney General Rod Rosenstein) down to chief Hillary Clinton/Donald Trump investigators (led by Peter Strzok) to people who were known to have the now fired Andrew McCabe’s ear at the FBI (Lisa Page) [during the Trump-Clinton presidential race].
Their utter lack of cooperation has been shielded by the FBI’s own as well as the news media, who help to perpetuate the pretense that House Republicans are simply on a mission to “save the president from justice.”
“That’s absolute nonsense. Cooperate, testify, and turn over the documents as required by our constitutional separation of powers, and THEN we will see who is ‘protecting the president,'” said Fitton, who appears regularly on Fox News Channel (FNC), NewmaxTV, One America News Network (OANN) and other news and commentary shows.
On February 9, 2015, in a discussion of an article about how the Department of Defense may have unwisely used an Arabic translator in a Guantanamo hearing who had also been used as a translator at a CIA black site, Strzok says, “I cannot begin to describe the amount of f*ckupedness if true…” Page replies, “I know. I heard about it on npr on my way home tonight. Multiple mentions of the FBI’s infiltration of defense teams last year too.”
“Judicial Watch is in court successfully getting Strzok-Page documents thus far denied to Congress,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “Yet the Justice Department is stonewalling and even protecting Strzok and Page by battling our request for preservation order to ensure that no government documents are destroyed.”
