      (THREAD) 1) Investigate Trump-Russia. Determine if anyone broke the law. 2) Investigate the FBI. Determine if anyone has a political belief Fox News wouldn't like. Crime vs. Thoughtcrime.

      The current attempt to discredit the Mueller investigation--which is reaching a fever-pitch on FOX and other pro-Trump media--involves private text messages sent by FBI agent Peter Strzok. For example, "God, Trump is a loathsome human being." 2/x

      The most incriminating-seeming text Strzok privately sent sayings "there’s no way he gets elected—but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk." According to critics, this is evidence of a conspiracy at the FBI to help Hillary Clinton defeat Trump. 3/x

      The FBI publicly drew attention to its investigation into Hillary's emails shortly before the election, while keeping quiet about its investigation into Trump's ties to Russia. If that was a conspiracy to help Hillary win, it was awfully confused. 4/x

      Stewart Baker, a lawyer who served as Assistant Secretary for Policy in the Department of Homeland Security under George W. Bush, provides a good explanation of why Strzok’s "insurance policy" text is not at all evidence of a conspiracy here: 5/xhttps://www.lawfareblog.com/peter-strzoks-insurance-policy …

      It turns out Strzok also texted that Bernie Sanders is "an idiot" and “I’m worried about what happens if HRC is elected.” And, it bears repeating, these are private text messages. Privately sharing an opinion isn't a crime. Thankfully. 6/x

      Strzok was removed from the Mueller investigation over the summer, which was the right decision, because appearance of impartiality is important to any law enforcement effort. 7/x

      And oversight of law enforcement and intelligence agencies is crucial. There are many cases in US history where officials have abused their power. Privately expressing opinions isn't one of them. However, DOJ selectively publicizing private text messages might be. 8/x

      What's clear is the people trying to make a big deal out of Strzok's private opinions aren't motivated by the rule of law, oversight, the integrity of law enforcement, or other laudable concerns. Quite the opposite. They're trying to undermine the rule of law. 9/x

      Two Trump officials confessed to felonies. Two others are under indictment. Anyone charged is innocent until proven guilty. But publicly available information indicates there's likely enough evidence to bring charges against others. Trump loyalists are right to be nervous. 10/x

          “If the facts are against you, argue the law. If the law is against you, argue the facts. If the law and the facts are against you, pound the table and yell like hell.” Yelling about one FBI agent's private political opinions is an especially desperate table pounding. (END)
