A Big Petrovski exclusive by Alex Cordasco
On February 7th, 2018, the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental affairs of the U.S. Senate released a report that is damaging to Hillary Clinton, the Obama Department of Justice, and the F.B.I. The title of said report is “The Clinton Email Scandal and the FBI's Investigation of it: Interim Report.”
This interim report was a review of everything that had happened since 2013 in regards to the Clinton Email Investigation. The report was fair, thorough and informative. The newest developments in the investigation relate to FBI employees Peter Strzok and Lisa Page. It is becoming apparent that the two were part of a larger team that were coordinating to cover up Hillary Clinton's crimes, while at the same time framing the current President under false pretences.
The report starts by explaining that they are continuing to investigate and that they have requested additional documents from the DOJ. An excerpt reads:
“Following the November 2016 election, President-elect Trump announced that his Justice Department would not pursue any further action against former Secretary Clinton – “the voters had held her accountable..”
However because of the Justice Department and the FBI's unusual management of the investigation and intrusion int the electoral process, charges of politicization arose from both sides of the political spectrum.”
It was only through a DOJ Office of the Inspector General investigation that the Lisa Page and Peter Strzok text messages were discovered. In spite of an active investigation, the DOJ OIG investigation had to learn of the texts from the news media and not the FBI themselves. When presented with the messages and their content, Mueller removed Strzok from the Trump Russia witch-hunt team.
Among the topics discussed in the Page and Strzok messages according to this report:
• “Protecting the country from the menace of trump enablers;”
• An “insurance policy” in case of a Trump Presidency;
• Knowing that then- Attorney General Loretta Lynch would not subject Hillary Clinton to criminal charges before the FBI had even interviewed Clinton and before her announcement that she would accept James Comey's decision;
• Making a list of talking points because President Obama “wants to know everything we're doing;”
• Exchanging views about the investigation of a possible Russian Collusion with the Trump campaign. Specifically calling it “Unfinished Business” and “an investigation leading to an impeachment;”
• Strzok regarding the possibility of Trump colluding with Russia “gut sense and concern there is no there there.”
These text messages show clear evidence of a personal political bias within certain high position FBI employees. It is also obvious now that the Obama Department of Justice had influence in this investigation. What needs to be investigated is how much this bias has influenced the FBI's treatment of President Trump. Since the investigation is ongoing, it is likely we will have this question answered in the future.
The bulk of this report is a summary of the background of the Clinton Email investigation which can trace its roots back to March of 2013 when “The Smoking Gun” reported that a hacker named Guccifer had broken into Clinton aide Sidney Blumenthal's AOL account.1 This was the first evidence of emails to hdr22@clintonemail.com.2 Hillary Clinton was the intended recipient for these messages proving the existence of her prior email account, she was supposed to be using her official government email instead of a private server.
In March of 2015 the New York Times reported that Secretary Clinton did not have an official State Department email the entire time she worked as Secretary of State.3
It should be also noted that she was the first SoS to not have an Inspector General overseeing and keeping her accountable.
From a report by the National Review;
“There was no permanent, Senate-confirmed inspector general at any point during Clinton’s tenure at State. Despite its own repeated pledges of transparency and bipartisan pleas from Congress, the Obama administration declined to nominate an official IG until five months after Clinton had left office. By then, she had become the only secretary of state to serve without the oversight of a permanent inspector general since the position was created in 1957.”4
Despite Clinton never having had a State Department Email Address, Obama claimed in March of 2015 that he only found out about her private email server when the media and everyone else did.5 That is extremely quite obviously a lie because 2 days later, the White House Press Secretary said that the president WAS aware of her address and that Obama had traded emails with Secretary Clinton.6
This report was a blast from the past for all who have been following the Clinton Email scandal since the beginning. It references all of the preposterous Clinton missteps. From Hillary Clinton joking that she wiped her Private Server Email clean “with a cloth” to the Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch tarmac meeting the night before James Comey recommended they would not be pursuing criminal charges against Hillary.
There is a substantial amount damning information within this report so it should be expected that the Democrats will be pushing back heavily with their false Russia narrative. The evidence is stacking up against Hillary Clinton, Obama and his Justice Department, and the FBI. Alternatively, the Mueller investigation has been going on for the better part of a year and has resulted in not a single piece of evidence against Donald Trump.
I will leave you with his excerpt from the Committee report:
“On May 19, 2017, two days after Robert Mueller was appointed Special Counsel, Strzok and Page discussed the staffing of the Special Counsel investigation. Strzok wrote, “For me, and this case, I personally have a sense of unfinished business. I unleashed it with MYE. Now I need to fix it and finish it.”95 He appears to be referring to the upcoming inquiry when he later wrote “[a]n investigation leading to impeachment?”96 These text messages raise questions about whether a personal animus may have been a consideration prompting Strzok to join Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation.“
