The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway and Sean Davis are reporting today that President Trump was right when he tweeted in January 2017 that the FBI was cooking up evidence against him. Trump seems to agree, as he’s retweeted the report:
‘Trump Was Right’: Explosive New FBI Texts Detail Internal Furor Over Handling Of ‘Crossfire Hurricane’ Investigation — Newly disclosed internal FBI notes & text messages detail the extent of the FBI’s desire to take down Trump & his associates at any cost.https://t.co/KsHId8YJVD

On Jan. 3, 2017, Trump tweeted the FBI was delaying its briefings for him to buy time to cook up evidence against him.
Two days later, as Obama and Comey met in the WH to go over their plans to to take out Flynn, one FBI agent texted: “Trump was right.” https://t.co/RXjFKGNjBS

Hemingway and Davis report:
“[W]e all went and purchased professional liability insurance,” one agent texted on Jan. 10, 2017, the same day CNN leaked details that then-President-elect Trump had been briefed by Comey about the bogus Christopher Steele dossier. That briefing of Trump was used as a pretext to legitimize the debunked dossier, which was funded by the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign and compiled by a foreign intelligence officer who was working for a sanctioned Russian oligarch.
“Holy crap,” an agent responded. “All the analysts too?”
“Yep,” the first agent said. “All the folks at the Agency as well.”
And then there are the texts about Crossfire Razor, the investigation into Michael Flynn:
The new disclosures made by DOJ also show that the FBI used so-called national security letters (NSLs) to spy on Flynn’s finances….
…
“[T]he decision to NSL finances for Razor bought him time,” one agent said nearly two weeks after the initial order to shut down the anti-Flynn case. It is not known to whom the agent was referring in that text.
“What do we expect to get from an NSL[?]” an agent texted on Dec. 5, 2016. “We put out traces, tripwires to community and nothing.”
“[B]ingo,” another FBI agent responded. “[S]o what’s an NSL going to do – no content.”
“Hahah this is a nightmare,” an agent said.

I have to admit THIS is going to be my favorite part. Watching the coup plotters entire corrupt operation crumbling in the public eye for all to see.
For what they’ve done to so many countless lives: @realDonaldTrump @DonaldJTrumpJr @GenFlynn and many others … I hope it HURTS

A big fat setup, and Obama was at the top of the food chain.

Why did it take so long to discover that stuff. It’s infuriating.

Terrible people who deserve everything they have coming!

Hopefully, they have something coming.
So… Why have there been no charges of sedition yet?
This is really bad and needs to stop going forward…

So what we saw in 2016 was not a “peaceful transfer of power.”

And nothing will come of it because the Dems can do whatever they want without repercussions.

Sadly that seems to be the case.
