Whoop, there it is. Bloody treason conspiracy.
Since the first day President Trump took office, the party of treason has conducted a witch hunt, a baseless political prosecution of the people’s president and his administration.

Text messages from disgraced FBI figures Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, discussing whether to open a “case” in a “formal chargeable way” after Director James Comey was fired, are under fresh scrutiny after Page told congressional investigators there was no evidence of Russian collusion at the time, according to three congressional sources.
Two hours after Comey’s termination became public on May 9, 2017, Strzok, a now-former FBI agent, texted Page, his then-colleague and lover: “We need to open the case we’ve been waiting on now while Andy is acting.”
“Andy” is a reference to then-Deputy Director Andrew McCabe who temporarily took over the bureau until Christopher Wray was confirmed as director in August 2017.
Page, a former FBI attorney, replied to Strzok: “We need to lock in (redacted). In a formal chargeable way. Soon.” (FOX News)
Lisa Page bombshell: FBI couldn’t prove Trump-Russia collusion before Mueller appointment
By John Solomon, Opinion Contributor The Hill, September 17, 2018:
To date, Lisa Page’s infamy has been driven mostly by the anti-Donald Trump text messages she exchanged with fellow FBI agent Peter Strzok as the two engaged in an affair while investigating the president for alleged election collusion with Russia.
Yet, when history judges the former FBI lawyer years from now, her most consequential pronouncement may not have been typed on her bureau-issued Samsung smartphone to her colleague and lover.
Rather, it might be eight simple words she uttered behind closed doors during a congressional interview a few weeks ago.
“It’s a reflection of us still not knowing,” Page told Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Texas) when questioned about texts she and Strzok exchanged in May 2017 as Robert Mueller was being named special counsel to take over the Russia investigation.
With that statement, Page acknowledged a momentous fact: After nine months of using some of the most awesome surveillance powers afforded to U.S. intelligence, the FBI still had not made a case connecting Trump or his campaign to Russia’s election meddling.
Page opined further, acknowledging “it still existed in the scope of possibility that there would be literally nothing” to connect Trump and Russia, no matter what Mueller or the FBI did.
“As far as May of 2017, we still couldn’t answer the question,” she said at another point.
I reached out to Page’s lawyer, Amy Jeffress, on Friday. She declined to answer questions about her client’s cooperation with Congress.
It might take a few seconds for the enormity of Page’s statements to sink in. After all, she isn’t just any FBI lawyer. She was a lead on the Russia case when it started in summer 2016, and she helped it transition to Mueller through summer 2017.
For those who might cast doubt on the word of a single FBI lawyer, there’s more.
Shortly after he was fired, ex-FBI Director James Comey told the Senate there was not yet evidence to justify investigating Trump for colluding with Russia. “When I left, we did not have an investigation focused on President Trump,” Comey testified.
And Strzok, the counterintelligence boss and leader of the Russia probe, texted Page in May 2017 that he was reluctant to join Mueller’s probe and leave his senior FBI post because he feared “there’s no big there, there.”
The Department of Justice (DOJ) inspector general asked Strzok shortly before he was fired from the FBI what he meant by that text, and he offered a most insightful answer.
Strzok said he wasn’t certain there was a “broad, coordinated effort” to hijack the election and that the evidence of Trump campaign aides talking about getting dirt on Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton from Russians might have been just a “bunch of opportunists” talking to heighten their importance.
Strzok added that, while he raised the idea of impeachment in some of his texts to Page, “I am, again, was not, am not convinced or certain that it will,” he told the inspector general.
So, by the words of Comey, Strzok and Page, we now know that the Trump Justice Department — through Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein — unleashed the Mueller special counsel probe before the FBI could validate a connection between Trump and Russia.
Which raises the question: If there was no concrete evidence of collusion, why did we need a special counsel?
Page’s comments also mean FBI and Justice officials likely leaked a barrage of media stories just before and after Mueller’s appointment that made the evidence of collusion look far stronger than the frontline investigators knew it to be. Text messages show contacts between key FBI and DOJ players and The Washington Post, The Associated Press and The New York Times during the ramp-up to Mueller’s probe.
And that means the news media — perhaps longing to find a new Watergate, to revive sagging fortunes — were far too willing to be manipulated by players in a case that began as a political opposition research project funded by Clinton’s campaign and led by a former British intelligence agent, Christopher Steele, who despised Trump.
Finally, Page’s statement signals that the nation’s premier intelligence court may not have been given a complete picture of the evidence — or lack thereof — as it approved an extraordinary surveillance intrusion into an American presidential nominee’s campaign just weeks before Election Day.
There was no fault to the FBI checking whether Trump was compromised by Russia; that is a classic counterintelligence responsibility.
The real fault lies in those leaders who allowed a secret investigation to mushroom into a media maelstrom driven by leaks that created a story that far exceeded the evidence, and then used that false narrative to set a special counsel flying downhill ahead of his skis.
No matter where Mueller ends his probe, it is now clear the actions that preceded his appointment turned justice on its head, imposing the presumption of guilt upon a probe whose own originators had reason to doubt the strength of their evidence.

Why isn’t the will of the majority of the American people honored by removing Mueller long ago from this farce they call an investigation. It seems EVERYONE knows there was never any “there, there” on the Trump collusion lie, except Mueller himself. Every day he is allowed to continue with his charade, is another day he is sticking it to the Average American.

When Sessions recused himself that left ROSENSTEIN in charge of the phony investigation. Rosenstein is just as guilty as Mueller. Rosenstein wasn’t going to shut it down. Outside of immigration, Rosenstein has been our default AG because of Sessions recusing himself. Anything Trump related, Sessions has recused himself from it. See how this goes round and round and the farce continues?
How will Rosenstein explain that FISA warrant signed for a PHONY investigation and the renewal of it after it was discovered WHO paid for it ? They knew when they submitted it to a FISA judge that is was a phony witch hunt and the “insurance policy”.

The swamp has gotten worse because the uniparty is being threatened by Trump.
Like wounded animals they band together. They don’t want Trump changes.
Life was good prior to Trump now more is being exposed.

Sessions recused himself because perhaps he knew it was all a fake investigation and didn’t want to destroy his name and character.
Now the question come, if Sessions knows it was all a fake investigation, why hadn’t he done anything about the corruption in his department?
Something smells with Sessions. Maybe A.G. Sessons is part of the Deep State?

The Mueller investigation is nothing but a hoax perpetrated by the democRATS. Heads should roll and long prison sentences should be the result, if we had a functional department of justice and credible intelligence agencies.

Yes, the Democrats PAID for the investigation.
Even Joe McCarthy didn’t pay for his Russia witch-hunt and the media was not on his side.
Democrats have outdone McCarthy by orders of magnitude.

OK, when do heads start to roll, convictions, jail time, etc. Until then it’s business as usual with the taxpayer getting screwed. There has to be consequences and some hard time being done. And, being that being that Mueller and his crew knew it was a farce I want to see them pay back their salaries.

The truth always has a way of slipping out, despite the best efforts to conceal it. There was never any substance to the allegations of “collusion”. The entire narrative was fabricated from whole cloth.

If Mueller and his gangster friends had a shred of real evidence that Trump colluded with the Russians, they would have uncorked it by now. Instead, just before the mid-terms, they will release a stink of lies in an attempt to convince credulous American voters that Demos have hard facts with which to impeach President Trump. Stalin was a master liar and the hard-left Clinton political machine, including puppet Mueller, is equally deceptive and dishonest. Republican voters must support their President by turning out in large numbers at the polls in early November.

Is it just me? Or is it obvious that the Mueller probe was left open ended on purpose because 1) they knew they had nothing 2) because they had nothing, they needed a way to get them on anything they can find… in other words, this was a witch hunt from the outset and it still is. And Mueller and Rosenstein and maybe even Session are complicit. Maybe congress should be a special investigation into these two? Gotta start cleaning the house from somewhere… might as well start near the top.

Remarkably stupid even by the standards of this group. The only time you can investigate something is if you can prove in advance that somebody is guilty?
