On his talk radio program Tuesday, conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh discussed the newly revealed messages from former FBI agent Peter Strzok, who was removed from the Trump-Russia investigation after his overt anti-Trump bias came to light. Strzok’s newly released texts and emails from December 2016 and April 2017 triggered a request by two high-ranking Republican senators on Monday for further investigation. The reason they’re so “significant,” said Limbaugh, is they provide a possible clue about the role of John Brennan’s CIA in spreading false “collusion” claims to the press.
On Monday, Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Ron Johnson (R-WI) and Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) sent a letter to Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson highlighting a text and an email from Strzok that raised serious questions. In a December 2016 text to his paramour, former FBI lawyer Lisa Page, Strozk wrote: “Think our sisters have begun leaking like mad. Scorned and worried and political, they’re kicking in to overdrive.” Then, in an April 2017 email to some of his FBI colleagues, Strzok wrote: “I’m beginning to think the agency got info a lot earlier than we thought and hasn’t shared it completely with us. Might explain all these weird/seemingly incorrect leads all these media folks have. Would also highlight agency as source of some of the leaks.”
