We know, we’ve been talking about how these FBI yahoos may finally have to answer for their actions during (and now maybe after) the 2016 Election but MAYBE things are finally getting started. Between Rod Rosenstein calling Obama out to these new Strzok-Page texts, MAYBE justice will stop being conveniently blind.
It could happen.
But like many of you, we’re not exactly holding our breath.
Ruh-roh: Strzok-Page texts suggested using post-election briefing to gather information on Trump team https://t.co/Tkj29IyjCT

From Fox News:
Text messages between former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page indicate they discussed using briefings to the Trump team after the 2016 election to identify people they could “develop for potential relationships,” track lines of questioning and “assess” changes in “demeanor” – language one GOP lawmaker called “more evidence” of irregular conduct in the original Russia probe.
Fox News has learned the texts, initially released in 2018 by a Senate committee, are under renewed scrutiny, with GOP Sens. Chuck Grassley and Homeland Security Committee chair Ron Johnson sending a letter Thursday night to Attorney General Bill Barr pushing for more information on the matter.
“Any improper FBI surveillance activities that were conducted before or after the 2016 election must be brought to light and properly addressed,” the senators wrote.
Brought to light and properly addressed.
Gosh, guys, that would be nice for a change.
An important development. What was the FBI up to in grooming sources inside the Trumo transition?https://t.co/piHEnyOG9K

What was the FBI up to?
Good question.

Yeah, we’re all totally shocked.
Heh.
Will anyone else in the US media cover any of these stories?

Ruh Roh is right

You’d think.
This is getting good. Let the fireworks begin.

Crosses fingers.
When history of 2016 is written, & we look back 30 to 50 years from now, Obama & Clinton will not be reflected in a good light.
Media love to use Watergate analogies. I won’t do that, but this will be a scandal like no other in history as party in power spied on opponent.

These people are down right disgraceful and have really put a bad name on the FBI

I hope they finally do something.
