      Liberals talking about Strzok's overblown "secret society" text should talk about all the other ones, too.

      The other ones that have been explained? Do you have any that haven't been explained?

      I'm not saying they need explaining. Many are self-explanatory, like the "F Trump" ones. I'm saying that they should be acknowledged rather than ignored or downplayed.

      They showed they didn't like Trump (and other pols)--you know, like the entire NY FBI didn't like Hillary, which is unsurprising bc FBI Agents tend to be GOP. And?

      When Mueller/Horowitz found that they had very normal opinions on politics, they were removed. Which means...the system worked. Sure. Let's talk about the system working, shall we? Maybe you should ask why GOPers are ignoring the real basics?

      Look, we dont know one way or the other yet so to say anything definitive is difficult. However calling for "an insurance policy" is very far from a normal political opinion.

      The public explanation is that they were discussing insuring THE COUNTRY, not some party--and there's abundant evidence that their political opinions were not solidly of one or another party.

          That's the implication of the WSJ story. CI Agents look on the world as foreign spies trying to steal (via Hillary's stupid server) or persuade (via debt and compromising agreements) policies counter to American interests. Trump looks like the latter to a CI Agent.

          Here you go. The issue, as I see it, was whether or not Trump's admin would come already infiltrated by an adversarial power. That's just not how partisan non-CI agents think of these things.pic.twitter.com/GG4rWymrGC

          appreciate it, I guess we will have to wait and see what happens with all of this. could go either way.

          Yes. Perhaps it would have been better to let Michael Horowitz (who has repeatedly done things that GOPers especially liked) finish his still-active investigation?

          true, let him finish and not jump the gun and make outlandish claims, however we are dealing with the American media, so that could never happen

          The media got onto this story when a bunch of GOP Congressmen gave them texts he was still using, w/o his OK, as it turns out.

          Again; why do you raise what party they are from? It might be more predictive here in 2018, but the correlation between party allegiance and Trump support, esp among Federal types, was weaker than ever in 2016.
