Judicial Watch: Emails Show Frantic Exchange Between Top FBI Officials Around Time of Trump’s Inauguration

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today it received 136 pages of emails between former FBI official Peter Strzok and former FBI attorney Lisa Page. They include heavily redacted emails showing Strzok, Page and top bureau officials in the days prior to and following President Donald Trump’s inauguration discussing a White House counterintelligence briefing that could “play into” the FBI’s “investigative strategy.”

On January 19, 2017, the night before President Donald Trump’s inauguration, a series of emails were exchanged between top officials in the FBI’s General Counsel’s office, Counterintelligence Division and Washington Field Office, and included then-Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and former Assistant Director for the Counterintelligence Division Bill Priestap.

The thread was initiated at 3:29 p.m. on January 19 by an assistant general counsel in the FBI’s National Security Law Branch in an email to Strzok with an almost entirely redacted email in which the person said, “I’ll give Trisha/Baker a heads up too.” Strzok’s reply is redacted, as is the response to Strzok. Strzok then says at 7:04 p.m., “I briefed Bill this afternoon and he was trying without success to reach the DD [McCabe]. I will forward below to him as his [sic] changes the timeline. What’s your recommendation?” The Counterintelligence Division official’s reply to Strzok is mostly redacted, except for “Approved by tomorrow afternoon is the request. [Redacted] – please advise if I am missing something.” An unidentified official replies, “[Redacted], Bill is aware and willing to jump in when we need him.” At 8 p.m., Strzok responds (copying officials in the Counterintelligence Division, Washington Field Office and General Counsel’s office), “Just talked with Bill. [Redacted]. Please relay above to WFO and [redacted] tonight, and keep me updated with plan for meet and results of same. Good luck.” Strzok then forwards the whole email exchange to Lisa Page, saying, “Bill spoke with Andy. [Redacted.] Here we go again …”. more here

  1. From the article “The emails detail a discussion about “squashing” an issue related to the Seth Rich controversy.”

    The whole thing is hard for me to follow but most of us know what happened to Seth!

    Nayow, Mr. Nightshade. Thay’s only so many billable hours in the day. Does this involve weed? How much profit civil forfeiture? Wayall, alrighhty thin. Thayall get to it. It’s on the list.

  4. SOSDD, same ole smoke different day.
    Call me after the burning at the stake of the traitorous bastids has begun.

    Oh, sorry, I should have patience and faith that it takes time to set the hook with perfect timing so the guilty don’t escape. Tension on the line to soon, and they spit the hook out, and escape. But setting the hook, as they’re swimming away, believing they’ve escaped, is spectacular.

  5. ” We are consulting with another agency. The FBI will correspond with you regarding this information when the consultation is completed.”

    they’re waiting for hell to freeze over.
    ‘we’ll call you’
    ‘if we get anything’
    corruption
    to the core

  6. “Are there actually people that are still interested in this?”

    Yes, Lindsey Graham 2.Zero

    It’s amazing that Fitton & Judicial Watch seem to always have more intel than a Senator can come up with. No worries, Graham will retire his Sherlock Holmes spyglass right after being re-elected by old & scared wypippo here in SC

  7. At this point, why is there still so much [redacted] bullshit? It is patently obvious by now that there is no “national security” at stake if all is revealed. There is only deep state culpability which is being [redacted]. It is pissy little legal games like this which make people doubt Barr and detest that greasy snake Wray. Full disclosure, now.

  8. Sheryl Atkinson wrote article at justthenews showing that nytimes article about russian collusion’s biggest claims were completely made up out of thin air.

    Why is the nytimes allowed to be on twitter or facebook and any of their articles allowed to be linked?

    We all know why. This is war. It’s not politics. It is WAR.

  9. U.S. Attorney John Durham’s copies are not redacted. These two love rats and their seditious confederates have been very quiet lately. This isn’t a coincidence. Their mouthpieces are keeping their big mouths shut. One of these rats has been squealing.

  10. @WDS: “Are there actually people that are still interested in this?”

    well, on pg. 92, strozk admits to reviewing clinton’s emails for content. Always did wonder who did that.
    the file is readable, but not searchable. Nice fbi provision there. Not.
    my attention span can handle it
