Newly disclosed internal FBI notes and text messages detail the extent of the FBI’s desire to take down Trump and his associates at any cost.

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents tasked by fired former Director James Comey to take down Donald Trump during and after the 2016 election were so concerned about the agency’s potentially illegal behavior that they purchased liability insurance to protect themselves less than two weeks before Trump was inaugurated president, previously hidden FBI text messages show. The explosive new communications and internal FBI notes were disclosed in federal court filings today from Sidney Powell, the attorney who heads Michael Flynn’s legal defense team.
“[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?” Read the rest HERE.
Trump could have avoided many of these problems by firing all of the Ocommie, Crooked Killary and G. W. Bush plants in his first days in office back in early 2017. On top of this, Trump made matters worse by hiring useless Jeff Sessions and then, nearly as bad, Candy Barr to be his AGs. He also hired Trump-hating Christopher Wray to run the FBI. These decisions were not playing three-dimensional chess. This was more like Trump playing cards with half a deck. I can’t understand why it’s so difficult for Trump to hire people who actually SUPPORT HIM AND HIS AGENDA. DUHHH.
