    Strzok and Page debating abt whether it was necessary to risk burning sources w/Trump or not actually is a pretty interesting explanation for "insurance" text.https://www.wsj.com/articles/in-fbi-agents-account-insurance-policy-text-referred-to-russia-probe-1513624580 …

        And that's before most of the dossier ones came out. (At 7/17, even assuming FBI got them right away.)

        Exactly. Steele's stuff was making the rounds, of course, bolstered by sigint. They were seeing the writing on the wall, early.

        fbi hit back pretty hard today - this and revealing the counterintelligence warnings during the campaign.

        I feel like the CI warning is a half-told story.

        Indeed it is. It as much as admits that they had determined the outcome a year and a half ago and were merely debating how fast to get there.

        Leaving that aside, I seem to remember an FBI investigation of great import where normal procedures were tossed aside in order to fit the outcome into an electoral timeline...

        The result was so badly botched that it ended up pissing off absolutely everybody and making the FBI look like a giant clown show. Anybody else remember that one?

        I do not get the fuss over this text--Strzok is stating his opinion that banking on a Trump election loss is like buying an insurance policy that will only pay out if you die before 40. In other words, a dumb idea. That's it--no "secret plan."

        & yeah he's saying they need to do the work instead of just hoping the problem will go away with an election loss. But there's no actual "insurance policy" as in a secret plot....jeez...
