The conundrum of Page and Strzok

Figure 1: The most arrogant, pompous, berating, snide, smug, self-righteous, biased and untrustworthy person recently displayed on US television. At least until another alphabet agency Deep State actor appears on US television.

Lisa Page ‘cooperative,’ ‘credible,’ lawmakers say after 5-hour closed-door session

by Amy Lieu

Former FBI lawyer Lisa Page was “cooperative” and “credible” in a closed-door session Friday with select House committee members that lasted nearly five hours.

U.S. Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., had been among Page’s harshest critics heading into the session, but he said her cooperation “speaks well of her,” according to the Hill.

Meadows said he thinks the American people “would be happy” with Friday’s transcribed interviews, the Washington Post reported.

“She’s been willing to help in the spirit of transparency. … We’ve certainly learned additional things today,” Meadows said.  

That would certainly be in direct contravention of what little information the superior and keening Peter Strzok deigned to parse out on Wednesday past.

Page, who defied a subpoena Wednesday, would have been held in contempt of Congress had she not appeared at Friday’s session, lawmakers said.

In the private testimony, she primarily answered questions about text messages with Peter Strzok that allegedly showed bias against then-candidate Donald Trump, the New York Post reported.

Meadows called Page a “credible witness,” as he walked out of the hearing, the report said.

“There is new information,” he told reporters. “And that information is credible.”

Lisa Page was, let’s be blunt, nothing more than a stepping stone in a whirlwind of choices Peter Strzok had to make in the past few years. Lisa Page was possessed of a, well, a certain “mien” the likes of which Strzok apparently couldn’t otherwise acquire at home or else he wouldn’t have strayed. Common soldiers united in thought, deed, pillow biting and politics. Say, isn’t that a new Austrian industrial music group, Pillow Biting and Politics — Kissenbeißen und Politik? Or a new Angela Merkel call-in radio show?

You, of course, remember this as the infamous Peter Strzok/Lisa Page illicit liaison in 2016 (perhaps even farther back) of a married man and an unmarried woman.

Was Louis Gohmert correct in this tactic? I suggest that, yes, clearly, he was.

Let’s be honest. Robert Mueller wasn’t going to fire and replace Peter Strzok until the day that the DOJnot Mueller or any of his group — brought certain problems to Mueller’s attention. Strzok was doing God’s work on the Mueller team in keeping with his theme of “against Trump by any means.” Mueller had the latitude but, sadly, lost a very devoted soldier but only because Strzok was, well, stupid. Had the texts not been revealed or perhaps not even created on FBI/taxpayer equipment on FBI/taxpayer time, Mueller would have continued to be the happy bivalve/mollusk packed in sand. “Bias? What bias?”

Bank on it.

So this is an “expert counterintelligence agent,” one who hangs his ass out in a potential honey pot scheme, opens himself to potential blackmail by opposing agents or forces, and then conducts his biased business essentially “in the clear” in today’s digital age? We’re supposed to trust this guy? And then add in all of his numerous and egregious examples of bias in the HRC investigation and the Trump/Russia investigation? In the eyes of Strzok and others like him, yes, we are that daft.

Let me ask those who believe Strzok’s documented written biases didn’t affect his thoughts, deeds or actions this question: let’s insert your name for Trump’s in all those text messages. Peter Strzok is subject to sitting on a jury where you are the defendant. Would you want him seated in the jury? I mean, after all, he insists he can be completely unbiased.

Further, former FBI Assistant Director Andrew McCabe has already said something similar to “if I’m going down, others are going down with me.” Or words to that effect, Senator. Heh.

Is Andrew McCabe the as-yet unacknowledged proverbial floater in the punchbowl?

Perhaps an incredibly important adjunct question is this: why is McCabe free and Manafort behind bars in solitary confinement?

Peter Strzok appears in public House hearing

First, from FoxNews.com:

Fireworks at Strzok hearing as GOP reps fume at anti-Trump FBI agent, threaten contempt

by Brooke Singman

FBI official Peter Strzok’s first public hearing tumbled into a rancorous and heated political fracas on Thursday, as Republicans clashed with Democrats as well as the former investigator over his anti-Trump texts — and even threatened contempt for initially refusing to answer questions on the Russia probe.

Strzok, throughout it all, remained defiant and maintained that he did not show bias in those infamous messages with former FBI lawyer Lisa Page.

Republicans sharply disputed that assessment, with Rep. Darrell Issa later making Strzok read examples of those texts aloud. Among them, Strzok read one message where he called Trump a “disaster,” and another calling him an “idiot.”

Listening is best, however. Here is Rep Trey Gowdy, Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, with Peter Strzok.

Rep Jim Jordan had the opportunity to question FBI Agent Peter Strzok.

Finally, so too did Rep Louis Gohmert question Strzok.

And this is the Demorat response to essentially the head planner of a soft coup against the United States of America — which is clearly acceptable to the LDAMM.

At one point FBI Agent Peter Strzok was the actual head of Counterintelligence for the agency and, despite this, he compromised himself to outside actors in 1) Having an affair with Lisa Page as a married man, and 2) Providing a surfeit of material to be compromised by outside actors in a continuing series of seemingly never-ending texts. I should also point out the obvious as well — all on official FBI and hence taxpayer purchased equipment on FBI time.

Is that not what I said? Are these not the facts?

Let us remember that Inspector General Horowitz wrote, about Strzok, that he had a “clear biased mindset.” Let us also remember that Special Counsel Robert Mueller removed Peter Strzok from his team. Why?

This is quite sadly all you need to know about the FBI — as Strzok is still employed — and all you need to know about the kind of an individual who partakes mightily in a soft coup against a presidential candidate, a president-elect and a sitting president.

The best illustrations I can find.

In my opinion these are the responses of a sociopath.

FBI Agent Peter Strzok is proud of having spearheaded a soft coup against President Trump whilst, beforehand, minimizing and doing his best to cover up the actions of presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Heads explode in the DC Swamp: consolidate government

You can hear the enamel chipping and flecking from the teeth of Deep State embedded do-nothing DC Swamp Rats from here.

And oh boy, if you think the Deep Swamp Statists are obstructionists now, hang on.

From TucsonNewsNow.com:

White House Proposes Merging Labor, Education Departments in Government Overhaul

by Kimberly L. Wright

 (RNN) – The White House has proposed merging the Department of Labor and the Department of Education on Thursday as part of the overhaul of the federal government.

Mick Mulvaney, the Office of Management and Budget chief, unveiled a plan during what he called a “drain the swamp” cabinet meeting, media reported.

The proposal would allow the administration to focus its efforts on student vocational training under one department, according to The Washington Post.

Mulvaney said at the meeting he wants to reduce about 45 job training programs down to 15.

The overhaul proposal results from an order President Donald Trump signed in March last year, which called for a review of the federal government in order to find redundancies and streamline agency operations.  

DC dentists, get ready. You’re about to be flooded with appointments.

Congress would need to approve any such overhaul of federal agencies.

The Department of Education was created by President Jimmy Carter in 1980, and has since been a subject of ire among conservatives.

The White House proposal to merge the departments is expected to occur as part of a larger vision to overhaul the federal government, including shrinking some agencies and altering the missions of others.

It’s part of a directive by Office of Management and Budget head Mick Mulvaney, urging leaders of federal agencies to find ways to streamline their efforts.

Again I say: this is precisely why I acquiesced and voted for Donald Trump. He’s the proverbial bull in the china shop.

Some days I don’t like that.

Most days I do.

That works for me.

Rip, tear. Repeat if necessary.

Oh yeah. It’s necessary.
