Newly declassified FBI texts detail ‘the FBI’s desire to take down Trump’ at any cost – twitchy.com

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:

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.

Techno Fog has the texts regarding Flynn:

Hopefully, they have something coming.

Sadly that seems to be the case.
