Let me know when this becomes a real story and the DOJ has filed some charges.
Sara Carter's opinion is nice, but not worth anything.
But in a perfect world, the FBI would be shut down and every agent punished, because, well, HILLARY!
New Text Msgs Reveal FBI Agent was Friends with Judge in Flynn Case
https://saraacarter.com/explosive-text-messages-reveal-judge-in-flynn-case-was-friends-with-strzok/
Page: “Thought of it because you had to Google FISC judges and him there. I’m telling you.”
Strzok: “….She brought up a good point about being circumspect in talking to him in terms of not placing him into a situation where he’d have to recuse himself.”
Page: “I can’t imagine you either one of you could talk about anything in detail meaningful enough to warrant recusal.” Page then goes back to discussing a different issue saying, “Anyway, maybe you meant to, but didn’t.’
Strzok “Really? Rudy. I’m in charge of espionage for the FBI. Any espionage FISA comes before him, what should he do? Given his friend oversees them?
Page: “Standards for recusal are quite high. I just don’t think this poses an actual conflict. And he doesn’t know what you do?”
Strzok: “Generally he does know what I do. Not the level or scope or area but he’s super thoughtful and rigorous about ethics and conflicts. (redacted) suggested a social setting with others would probably be better than a one on one meeting. I’m sorry, I’m just going to have to invite you to that cocktail party. Of course, you’ll be there. Have to come up with some other work people cover for action.”
Page: “Why more? Six is a perfectly fine dinner party.”
:lamo First, how AWESOME is Sarah Carter ??? SO awesome !! Second, this is really bad news. Contreras was a Obama appointee and on the FISA court when the FBI submitted Hillary funded opposition research corroborated with a Yahoo article to obtain FISA warrants to spy on the opposition candidate and his staff during a election year. He was also forced to recuse himself from overseeing Flynn's case, and now we know why.
Just think, had Hillary won we would have NEVER found out about any of this. Sztrok would have received a promotion, Bruce Ohr would be our new AG and Andrew McCabe the new FBI director. Man did we ever dodge a bullet or what !! :lol:
Oh, and McCabe should be officially fired either today or tomorrow and as we await the release of the IG's report the Left can continue focusing on non-issues like Don Jr's divorce or rehashed stories about Trump Org
Right, there's a hundred anti-Trump click bait threads that you would feel right at home in
Your TDS will go absolutely unchallenged there.

Please.... people can be friendly AND professional. Washington really is not that big a town.
The quest to protect Trump becomes more pathetic with each egregious sin we learn about. Continue to defend the indefensible if it helps you sleep at night. Maybe its time for another Benghazi investigation.
It's fun to watch you run around in circles, desperately trying to cite anything you can to continue the fantasy of FBI corruption, spazzing out when it never sticks.
Sara Carters opinion ? These text between Sztrok and Page aren't hypothetical, they're not a figment of someone's imagination either.
:lamo
So Wray should rehire McCabe immediately, and Sztrok and Bruce Ohr should be promoted, because now FBI corruption is a " fantasy " and Russian / Trump collusion is real
One, I don't see anything in there that is in any way inappropriate. Judges have friends, sometimes they have lawyer friends, even family members appear before them on cases.
They aren't justices because they wear black robes, they are justices who know and love the law and, in most cases can set their biases aside. If ANY of the parties involved had an issue in the case need only launch a challenge and they get a different judge.
Two, based on your record and poisonous loathing for anything Hillary I can easily dismiss the whole topic here.
Look, Obama has retired, just like war monger Bush and skirt chaser Clinton. Hillary is the most unpopular politician in the galaxy, not only is she horrible, but she piloted her ship to the bottom. She has the political power of a blade of grass in December.
You can stop harping at the wind any time. It's gotten kinda sick
Newp. Didn't say anything like that at all. I merely addressed your desperation to portray the FBI as corrupt.
When did I say the FBI was corrupt ? Top FBI and DOJ officials were obviously corrupt and these text messages are just the tip of the iceberg
Hell, the IGs report hasn't even been released yet.
And CNN flew to Thailand to interview a Russian prostitute / sex offender and went dumpster diving at a Russian troll farm in St Petersburg and after 14 months with no evidence, youre still holding out hope that Trump colluded with Russia
You people personify desperation, so glass houses and all...
Didn't we just go through "Secret Society"
Someone had a friend? OMG, collusion, lock her up!
based on your record and poisonous loathing for anything Hillary I can easily dismiss the whole topic here
Enough opinion
iLOLWhat amazes me is the FBI handed the election to Trump by announcing they were investigating Hillary, again.
the fantasy of FBI corruption
District Court Judge Lynn N. Hughes read the evidence and expressed incredulity that Mr. Calger was pleading guilty.
According to a court transcript, Judge Hughes grilled Linda Lacewell, one of Mr. Weissmann’s prosecutors. He asked her repeatedly to explain what the actual crime was. He said Enron lost no money, there were no bribes and the basic mechanism for the sale of some electric turbines was legal.
Ms. Lacewell said Enron should never have put proceeds on its balance sheets, echoing the 2003 prosecution of Merrill Lynch people in the Nigerian barge transaction.
The judge: “You don’t know the difference between their capital and their current income transaction?”
And he said, “But we do know that this transaction could not have been a tax avoidance scheme, right?”
Ms. Lacewell: “That’s right.”
She then said the plea was to wire fraud, not taxes. To that, Judge Hughes said the task force was trying to criminalize a private transaction to which all parties agreed.
“So you want to convert every default by a corporate officer into a wire fraud case,” he said.
When she explained the deal, the judge replied bluntly, “That’s not wire fraud.”
When she asserted that it was, Judge Hughes lashed out at the task force.
“According to your employer, everything is wire fraud,” he said. “It’s a far cry from what the statute was intended to do when it was adopted.”
But Mr. Calger persisted. He wanted to plead guilty, to which the judge said, “There’s no factual basis for your plea.”
The judge did not know then, but his spot courtroom lecture proved prescient. A year later, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals came to the same conclusion and ruled in the Merrill case that there was no wire fraud.
You are aware there was more than one judge involved right?
Sara Carter's opinion is nice
A court memorandum and order, which has never been made public before it was obtained by this reporter, reveals that Chief Judge Charles P. Sifton, who presided over the case, reprimanded Weissmann for failing to disclose that Gregory Scarpa, Sr., a witness on behalf of the prosecution, was also working for years as an FBI informant. Scarpa’s moniker in the mafia underworld was ‘grim reaper’ and ‘Hannibal.’ He was accused of being connected to more than 100 gruesome murders related to his work for the Persico faction of the Colombo mafia crime family, reports stated.
Sifton denied the defendants’ the extraordinary relief of dismissing the case, but he singled out Weissmann for withholding information. The judge described then AUSA Weissmann’s conduct as the “myopic withholding of information” and “reprehensible and subject, perhaps, to appropriate disciplinary measures,” according to the opinion obtained by this reporter.
Evidence suggested that Scarpa was involved in a personal relationship with his FBI handler, Lindley DeVecchio. DeVeccio, who was also a witness in a case connected to the Persico case.
Weissmann had DeVecchio testify against Michael Sessa, a captain in the Colombo family, despite knowing DeVecchio was under investigation by the FBI for his relationship with Scarpa. Weissmann and his team failed to disclose that to the courts and presented him as a solid witness in the case, according to Schoen and court documents.
Lol....Yes, as evidenced by your irrelevant and thoughtless reply, these latest text are that incriminating
I mean if there's nothing to them, then explain why Contreras was forced to recuse himself from overseeing Flynns case
yeah - because judges cannot have any friends in other white collar law related fields. :doh:roll:
Someone had a friend? OMG, collusion, lock her up!
You guys.
That's what you got out of that? Seriously?
You connect dots that don't exist to lynch Trump. You review the conspiratorial planning to obstruct justice laid out in the words of the conspirators and see nothing. Wow!
Does your impartiality know no beginning?
Have none of these people watch law and order before???
what so called "dots that don't exist" are you talking about?
What amazes me is the FBI handed the election to Trump by announcing they were investigating Hillary, again. We now know that they were looking at Trump even then and said nothing, but for a certain crowd the FBI is rotten to the corps and allied with Hillary.
And they let these people vote
