Did Democrats Turn The FBI Into A Corrupt Anti-Trump Tool, Or Are Republicans Destroying A Treasured Institution To Save Trump?

So, here’s a list of the revelations from the past few weeks surrounding the FBI’s investigation into alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government:

• Text messages between FBI agents Peter Strzok and his mistress Lisa Page talked openly about a “path you threw out for consideration in [deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe’s office]” as an “insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40,” with reference to a Trump election. Strzok worked heavily on the Hillary investigation, and crafted the language exonerating her. He was also deeply involved in the Trump-Russia collusion investigation;
• According to Reps. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) and John Ratcliffe (R-TX), text messages between the pair referenced a “secret society” working against Trump;
• The FBI somehow “lost” a batch of text messages between Strzok and Page, conveniently identified as the period between December 2016 and May 2017, when special counsel Robert Mueller took over the probe;
• The FBI changed its language regarding Hillary Clinton before Hillary was even interviewed;
• House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) compiled a 4-page memo that purportedly blows the lid off of FISA malfeasance in the Trump-Russia collusion case. Presumably, the suggestion here is that the FISA warrant on Trump foreign policy advisor Carter Page, which launched the investigation, was garnered based on a partisan smear oppo report from the Democrat-paid Fusion GPS, working hand-in-glove with the FBI. Nunes wants the memo released.

Republicans have been shellacking the FBI for months. Trump said last month that the FBI’s reputation was “in tatters.” And now Republicans in the House and Senate are suggesting that players within the FBI worked in corrupt fashion to deny Trump the presidency, and then to destroy his presidency after his election.
