New FBI Texts: Agents Bought Liability Insurance over Russia Investigation

New text messages released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Wednesday evening suggest that FBI agents involved in investigating Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign bought professional liability insurance for fear of being exposed and sued.

The text messages, reported by The Federalist and included in court filings by Sidney Powell, were part of a new batch of documents released as exculpatory evidence in the prosecution of former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. The evidence was released after a review of the case by U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Jensen, ordered by Attorney General William Barr.

In one text, an agent speculated that they would be “screwed” when a new attorney general began asking questions about the investigation, possibly after leaks to the New York Times or other media outlets.One text, dated Jan. 10, 2017, read: “we all went and purchased professional liability insurance.” Other texts discussed the rules for reimbursement of that insurance.

Powell also pointed to text messages that suggest FBI agents believed that some officials in the bureau were biased in favor of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election in arguing that the case against her client should be dismissed.

Other text messages suggest that FBI agents deliberately kept the case open despite finding no evidence against Flynn. In one exchange, agents appeared to comment on a briefing that in the Oval Office on January 5, 2017, with then-President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, and several senior law enforcement and intelligence officials present.

One text reported that “people here are scrambling for info to support certain things and its a mad house.” Another suggested that “Trump was right,” a comment that may have referred to Trump’s Jan. 3, 2017, tweet saying the FBI was delaying a briefing on alleged Russian interference in the election because it needed more time to “build a case.”

Good Lord - if the media had played this straight it would be Watergate 2.0. Instead it became a willing accomplice

They gotta deflect and a big reason for the huge divide imo. 10 out of 10 Trump supporters see it that way. While that might not be a majority, it is a helluva bunch of people.

So I wonder if this is tied to the resignation on Durham’s staff recently somehow. I wonder if she objected to the release of this information at this time.

"I have consulted with Mr. Durham, who originally brought this information to my attention in the course of his investigation, and he has informed me that the disclosure of the information will not interfere with his criminal investigation," Barr wrote, adding that he alerted Director of National Inteligence John Ratcliffe to "certain classified information in possession of the intelligence community" which "bears upon the FBI's knowledge of the reliability of the dossier."

"Mr. Durham confirms that the disclosure of that information would not interfere with his investigaiton, and the Department otherwise defers to the DNI concerning the handling of this information," Barr said.
 
For the billionth time: 1) the Steele dossier was a small fraction of the probable cause that justified the warrants; 2) much of what was in it has been confirmed to be true; and 3) US intelligence agencies have confirmed that Russia interfered to help Trump win in 2016, and are doing it again.

You can debate whether Putin likes Trump because he has something on him, because Putin knows Trump is easily manipulated, or because he knows Trump is an idiot. Its one of those three. At best, Trump is just an easy mark.
 
The best we can hope for is that the information is made public and is compelling enough that even the media can't ignore it.

Doubtful anyone but small players will get indictments.

Maybe if Trump wins and retains the Senate there will be further investigation. If Biden wins, it all gets shut down.
