The texts between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page

[question everything]

thousands of them, were turned over by the Justice Department to Congress on Jan. 19 as part of an internal inquiry into how the Federal Bureau of Investigation handled its investigation into Mrs. Clinton. Mr. Strzok and Ms. Page, who were in an extramarital affair at the time, have been accused of bias against President Donald Trump after some previously released emails showed their disdain for the president.

In the new texts, provided to Congress and reviewed by The Wall Street Journal, the pair’s distaste for Mr. Trump re-emerges. After the 2016 election, Mr. Strzok wrote, “OMG I am so depressed.” Ms. Page replied, “I don’t know if I can eat. I am very nauseous.”

Republicans have said the FBI’s handling of the Clinton probe and the Russia investigation, as well as the criticism of Mr. Trump in the couple’s exchanges, indicate bias against the president and have suggested a conspiracy to undermine him.

Texts critical of Mr. Trump represent a fraction of the roughly 7,000 messages, which stretch across 384 pages and show no evidence of a conspiracy against Mr. Trump. Rather, a broader look shows an unvarnished and complex picture of the lives of an FBI agent and lawyer who found themselves at the center of highly charged probes.

They logged long hours and frequently worked on weekends. They seemed dedicated to their jobs but didn’t hesitate to chastise or criticize many others beyond Mr. Trump, including their colleagues and each other. In deeply personal office chatter, they come across as intense, ambitious and unsure of their standing in the bureau.

1. Strzok's strongest "bias" was anti-Russian as he expressed his hatred of Russian actions and methods

Seems to me that his dislike of Trump stems largely from his view that Trump was pro-Putin which was extremely disturbing to Strzok after what he had seen witnessed over many years dealing with Russia counterintelligence.

5. That makes sense.

The Puppet's relationship with Putin is businessman transactional, an oligarch and kleptocrat who can deliver deals.

The FBI, the Federal government and both political parties have completely different outlooks - on Russia and a lot of other issues.
