Lisa Page and Peter Strzok, the reported FBI lovebirds, are
the poster children for the next “Don’t Text and Investigate” public
service ads airing soon at an FBI office near you.
Their
extraordinary texting affair on their government phones has given the
FBI a black eye, laying bare a raw political bias brought into the
workplace that agents are supposed to check at the door when they strap
on their guns and badges.
It is no longer in dispute that they held animus for Donald Trump, who was a subject of their Russia probe, or that they openly discussed using the powers of their office to “stop” Trump
from becoming president. The only question is whether any official acts
they took in the Russia collusion probe were driven by those
sentiments.
The Justice Department’s inspector general is endeavoring to answer that question.
For
any American who wants an answer sooner, there are just five words,
among the thousands of suggestive texts Page and Strzok exchanged, that
you should read.
That passage was transmitted on May 19, 2017. “There’s no big there there,” Strzok texted.
