The FBI’s Secret Society (and why this should worry all of us)

The FBI’s “Secret Society” (and why this should worry all of us)

Yesterday’s news reports that a substantial and crucial number of text messages between FBI Agent Peter Strzok, and his paramour Lisa Page- messages exchanged between December 14, 2016 and May 17, 2017 (the very day Robert Mueller assumed control named of the investigation into alleged Russian collusion with the Trump campaign)- have suddenly disappeared, provides even further evidence of corruption within the senior levels of the FBI and the Justice Department. Reluctance on the part of that same Justice Department, to comply with multiple House oversight committee requests for all documents related to this same investigation, further suggests the scope of this corruption, slowly emerging for all to see.

This corruption permeates top levels of the NSA, the CIA and cabinet level appointees of the Barack Obama administration, as it has become ever clearer that FISA warrants to spy on private citizens associated with Donald Trump’s presidential campaign were based upon GPS-Fusion dossiers, paid for by the DNC and the Hillary Clinton campaign. Further, hundreds of these same associates within the Trump campaign, caught up in these illegally-obtained FISA warrants, were unmasked by senior level cabinet members of the Obama administration, including UN Ambassador Susan Power.

Peter Strzok, who was the lead investigator into Hillary Clinton’s illegal use of a private server, and who was also in charge of the FBI’s investigation into alleged collusion of Russia and the Trump campaign, and his extra-marital lover, a trial attorney assigned to Robert Mueller’s investigation, Lisa Page, had already gained notoriety for messages they exchanged in August of 2016, where they discussed the need of an “insurance policy” to destroy the Trump presidency in the unlikely event that he would defeat Hillary Clinton in the fall campaign.

Then, on the day after the 2016 election, in one of several text messages exchanged between Strzok and Page, it was revealed that a “secret society,” one whose intent was to bring down the presidency of Donald Trump, was created and which included several pro-Clinton, anti-Trump members of the Mueller investigative team, along with others associated with the decision to clear Hillary Clinton of criminal charges two months before the July, 2016 announcement by former FBI Director James Comey.

Comey’s announcement, which essentially let Clinton off the hook, was written in May of 2016, and based on a decision to exonerate Clinton by Attorney General Loretta Lynch, in coordination with Comey and the Clinton investigative team. As it turns out, it was Strzok who changed the incriminating wording of “gross negligence” to “extreme carelessness,” all done at the behest of his superiors and to the benefit of Mrs. Clinton. To suggest that all of this “fix” was not under the auspices of President Obama is highly problematic, given the broad extent of what was required to exonerate Clinton from facing espionage and other charges related to her use of a private server and her release of classified documents to non-authorized personnel, like Huma Abedin.

According to Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) someone associated with this “secret society” has now come forward and corroborated the existence of the society, and that they held meetings outside the offices of the FBI and the Justice Department- meetings convened to discuss how they might be able to drive the current president from office.

Then there is the four-page memorandum from Devon Nunes, (R-CA), chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, which summarizes his committee’s findings that there is hard evidence that bias on the part of anti-Trump agents within the FBI, and which may also include several senior-level members of the Obama administration, is what prompted the entire investigation into Trump, in the first place. Republican House and Senate members outside the committee who have read this memorandum say that, once the public has seen its contents, all will be shocked to learn just how high up this corruption reaches into the Obama administration. Interestingly, Democrats who sit on this same committee are vehemently opposed to the public release of this memorandum, for fear of its ramifications, while other Democrats in both houses allege that the document is only a means to divert attention away from the Mueller investigation.

Regardless of one’s position on President Donald Trump- love him or hate him- the idea of FBI and Justice Department interference into a presidential election, and attempts to overturn the results of this election, should be disturbing at very least. The fact that powerful, senior-level officials within the FBI, the Justice Department, the CIA and the NSA, during the Obama administration, all participated in the illegal surveillance of Donald Trump and his associates, speak of a scandal much more serious than Watergate, and much wider than any in the history of the United States. The suggestion of the existence of a “secret society” designed to take down a sitting president of the United States, should send shivers down the spine of every American, that there is something so rotten in our nation’s capital, the very survival of representative democracy hangs in the balance of the whispers and designs of a very evil element within the deep state.

Not even Donald Trump could have imagined just how deep and murky the “swamp” that is Washington, D.C. really is…and little wonder why he is viewed as such a threat to the status quo of a corrupt government so entrenched in treachery and deceit.
