Former FBI lawyer Lisa Page has been praised for her 'cooperative' performance at a closed door congressional hearing on Friday, as some Republicans say her testimony confirmed their suspicions of bias.
Page and her former lover, Peter Strzok, are facing the hearings after text messages sent between the pair revealed their hard anti-Trump stance.
The pair were working on Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 Presidential election, and an investigation into Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's emails.
Page - whose affair with Strzok has led Trump to dub them the 'FBI lovers' - struck a deal with the House Judiciary Committee to testify privately after months of attempts to haul her before Congress, including defying a subpoena to testify publicly this week.
FBI agent Peter Strzok, for the first time ever in public, admits that the Steel dossier, which is the ONLY evidence that the FBI had to start the Russia collusion investigation, came from Bruce Ohr, in the Department of Justice.
Why is this significant? Because Bruce Ohr's wife worked for Fusion GPS. And we know, for a fact, that Fusion GPS came up with the Steele dossier as "campaign dirt" to be used against Donald Trump in the election. The payments from Clinton's campaign to Fusion GPS for this opposition research are a matter of public record.
Of course, digging dirt on a political opponent is not evidence of wrong doing by that opponent...it's just a political strategy to find ways to paint your opponent as a scumbag, using means that would almost never, ever pass muster in a court of law.
So we have the following chain of events:
1. The Clinton campaign pays off Fusion GPS to dig up "dirt" on Donald Trump, and they come up with a document now know as "the Steele dossier" which was named after the former British intelligence operative who provided the dirt.
2. Nellie Ohr, who works for Fusion GPS, passes the Steele dossier to her husband Bruce Ohr, who works in the Obama Department of Justice.
3. Bruce Ohr passes the Steele dossier to the FBI, and most likely directly to Peter Strzok, though he denies he received it personally. But he does admit that "the FBI" did receive it from Bruce Ohr.
4. Armed with nothing more than campaign dirt funded by the Clinton campaign, Peter Strzok opens up the now famous "Russia collusion" investigation into Donald Trump.
Does that seem a little fishy to you? How often does the FBI open up criminal investigations based on PAID campaign opposition research as it's ONLY source of evidence? Never, of course, but that is, in fact what happened. Those of you who know how the Democrats have controlled the city of Chicago for decades on end know full well how they operate, and, of course, both Hillary and Obama are Chicago Democrats with extremely close ties to the machine, especially Obama.
So what is really going on here? Let me give you the following scenario for your consideration, every single one of these points is extremely well documented, with many published articles or Congressional hearing testimony to back them up:
1. Hillary Clinton pays Fusion GPS to come up with a dossier on Donald Trump that links him to Putin's attempt to interfere with the American elections.
2. The dirt that is dug up is all done by a former British MI6 agent by the name of Christopher Steele.
3. Steele gets paid for his work, and hands his dossier to Fusion GPS and they provide it to both the Hillary Campaign, and the Obama Department of Justice.
4. The Department of Justice hands it off to FBI Agent Peter Strzok, who then uses the campaign dirt as "evidence" that Donald Trump is colluding with the Russian government to overthrow the election, and opens a secret investigation.
5. Because now Donald Trump is now labeled a threat to national security, the FULL WEIGHT OF ALL GOVERNMENT RESOURCES, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC, are used to "investigate" the Trump campaign, including wire taps, spying, electronic surveillance, and other spy-craft. Of course, they are also going to hear a lot about campaign strategy too in all these intercepts, which of course is what they are really after. Think Watergate, but with the ENTIRE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT being used as the means to spy on the campaign. In other words, something that is one thousand times worse than Watergate.
6. But, because Donald Trump is a "threat" to national security, we not only use American government resources, but now also employ the resources of our allies to spy on the Trump campaign, especially those of Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand. Again, all this is well documented and in the public record.
7. The entire idea behind this secret Russia collusion investigation was never to prove that Donald Trump really did collude with the Russians, a charge so incredibly ridiculous it's hard to understand how any grown adult can believe in it, but rather this was just an effort to infiltrate his presidential campaign, find out his strategies and plans, and get that information to Clinton and Obama to be used to destroy the Trump candidacy.
8. Hillary Clinton, with tremendous help from the "Russian collusion" investigation then becomes president of the United States, and the "investigation" gets shut down, remaining a dirty little secret, and we never, ever hear about any of this.
But something funny happened on the way to Hillary becoming president: she lost, despite the deck being stacked in her favor, and in the anger and frustration of losing, she blows the lid on the secret "Russian collusion" investigation, making it now public. That was a very bad mistake on her part, as now we are finding out just how very dirty her campaign and the Obama administration really was. We are also finding that Peter Strzok, the lead FBI investigator, and the man who personally began the Russian collusion investigation, is an extremely loyal and even fanatical supporter of Hillary Clinton and Obama. The same is true of Peter Strzok's girlfriend, FBI lawyer Lisa Page, who was in on the conspiracy from the very beginning. As a matter of fact, it was the personal communications between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page that are now showing the Russia collusion investigation to be nothing more than "an insurance policy" to be used to make sure Trump never won the election.
We are only looking at the very tip of the iceberg here, the depth and the breadth of this corrupt use of government resources for partisan political purposes has yet to be fully revealed, but make no mistake about it, since Obama and Hillary made good use of our allies intelligence gathering ability as part of their "opposition research", we have what could easily become a case for high treason.
Now of course, this only my interpretation of events from all the public sourced documents, interviews I could find...none of this is "conspiracy theory" stuff, it's all quite real. The proof of this is how FIERCELY the Democrats are protecting the scumbag FBI Agent Peter Strzok, who is well hated by a majority of the regular "rank and file" FBI agents. All the Democrats in Congrees know full well what was happening here, and they are doing everything they can to prevent the truth from getting out. This might finally be the one thing that truly destroys the Democrat Party, something that should have taken place back in the 1860's, but never happened.
What's going on here is very interesting: Trey Gowdy is asking some very general questions about the Russia investigation, in terms of how it originated. But Peter Strzok refuses to answer the question, stating that the FBI will not allow him to answer, which is complete nonsense. Trey Gowdy is an EXTREMELY accomplished prosecutor, and is trying to find out the truth about the Russia collusion allegations, but Peter Strzok, with the tremendous help of the Democrats in the chamber, are doing EVERYTHING THEY CAN to prevent an answer to be given.
Here's a very important question to ask yourself: Why would would the Democrats not want ANY information about the origin of the Russia collusion investigation to be known?
The question of the number of people interviewed is not going to cause any problems to the investigation, unless, of course, the answer to that question is ZERO.
I guarantee that Trey Gowdy knows, for a fact, that the answer, is ZERO. Good prosecutors always know the exact answer to these questions before they ask them, and he's giving Strzok the opportunity to come clean. The TREMENDOUS amount of obstruction on display here is to make sure that the answer of "ZERO" is never heard.
The point being, that Peter Strzok, who is the ORIGINATOR of the Russia collusion investigation, never had any evidence, nor any basis in fact, for opening the investigation to begin with. A good prosecutor always has a series of interviews and a big pile of evidence handy before an official investigation is begun. Otherwise, the FBI (or any other police agency) could have official investigations into just about anything they wanted to, whether or not there's a hint of evidence for their meddling. Investigations without any basis of wrongdoing are known as "fishing expeditions".
