From the Daily Caller:

The attorney’s messages show that he was distressed at the FBI’s decision in October 2016 to re-open the investigation into Clinton’s emails. Democrats have claimed that decision hurt Clinton at the polls.

The FBI lawyer also suggested that he would work to resist the Trump administration.

“Is it making you rethink your commitment to the Trump administration?” one FBI lawyer wrote on Nov. 22, 2016.

“Hell no. Viva le resistance,” the future Mueller attorney responded. ‘Viva Le Resistance’: Mueller Team Attorney Sent Anti-Trump Texts | The Daily Caller

When interviewed by the Office of the Inspector General, the attorney claimed his political views had no impact on his investigative work but that he could see how there might be a perception problem.

Why, yes. Yes, there is.

Yeah the perception problem being that RWNJs think people talking about how bad Swampy is is grounds for firing or for not being able to do their job properly. Funny how liberals or moderates never go to those extremes. Except you know when you are talking about rapists, racists, and pedos.

Imagine if liberals went around everywhere and saying, "OMG. That person at the taco stands is a conservative!!!! I can't buy tacos from him. He'll probably poison them." No. No liberal does that. unless you're a PETA kook. RWNJs always do this for the most silly reasons. "OMG! Netflix hired Obama." Cancel subscription!

Meanwhile liberals say, "Hey you know Swampy boinked a pornstar and likely paid off multiple others, why is he still President?"

Yeah, remember how politically neutral Ken Starr and Sol Weisenberg were in Whitewater. I mean, they couldn't have been more unbiased and independent and ... oh, right.

As has been pointed out more than once here, there seems to have been two ongoing investigations at the time of the 2016 election. One into the Clinton server matter and one into the Trump campaign. One investigation was outed in July 2016 and reopened eleven days prior to Election Day. The other never came to light until the election was over..................

So by ignoring the report and focusing on one text you can validate your deep state conspiracy. Bravo

It should be noted the lawyer is no longer with the Mueller team. Apparently Mueller does not like people on the team with possible biases...

So enlists an extremely super majority of known Democrats to be on his team. No bias possibility there.

It is possible Mueller could be a space alien. Much like the claim of bias, there is no evidence to support it though.

The fact that the very huge majority of his team are Democrats investigating Trump? No evidence to support bias? How would you feel if a jury against a black man consisted of 11 white people and one black? No bias there, right?

It’s your job to show evidence of bias.

Mueller hand picked his team. He knew what he was getting. The only reason some of them got booted, was because they got exposed.

Why don't you find a post anywhere on this forum, just one, in which I've discussed deep-state conspiracy?

And good luck with that.

Yes, he left in late February, so three and a half months ago. How long has the investigation been going on?
 
Nobody worried about the bias of all the repeated investigations into Clinton were. Now we're worried? Are we trying to push "two wrongs don't make a right" until the sentence implodes, taking reality with it?



At any rate, the IG report that far-right people were salvating over said that despite anything that could be criticized that it dug up, the actual prosecutors' decisions were not influenced in any way by said "anything"s. So...

:shrug:






Wait, is that a squirrel I see over there?

LOOK!

The deep state playing 3d chess?

I still can't come up with the "movie" of the rw conspiracy.

It does appear that a time machine would have to be involved in the planning.
 
The resist movement started post election.

The email was in November of 2016.

More time travel.

Seems like a pretty stupid use for a time machine if you ask me.

If they really wanted to do away with trump why not arrange some HIV from some condom free escapade in the 80's?

You can call the conspiracy anything you'd like. The idea that Russian collusion or the Russian investigation ran by Mueller (Republican) put into place by Comey (Republican) ordered by Trump (Republican) and managed by Rothestein (Republican) is tainted because some of these investigators truly dislike Trump is unproven. The IG report says that there was no bias in how the investigation was ran or carried out. That was the finding. You zero in on personal text messages of some of the investigators and claim...what exactly? That the investigation is null and void? That it should be stopped? That the findings are tainted?

Let's zero in some more (and hope that the identities of Agents 1 and 5 are revealed) [bolding mine]:

Agent 5 sent an instant message to Agent 1 on February 9, 2016, griping about the Midyear [Clinton investigation] work she was being given to do. Agent 1 messaged back to commiserate: “Yeah, I hear you. You guys have a ****ty task, in a ****ty environment,” he wrote. “To look for something conjured in a place where you cant find it, for a case that doesnt matter and is predestined.”

It’s bad enough that a lead agent on the Clinton case was convinced the outcome was “predestined,” but there’s more in Agent 1’s description of the culture they were operating in: “DOJ comes in there every once in awhile and takes a wishy-washy, political, cowardice stance. Salt meets wound. That is the environment love. Can’t sugar coat it.” At least he followed by telling his girlfriend to “do the best you can.”

That sounds like a frank and honest description of a politically skewed shop. But when asked about that message, Agent 1 had another message altogether for the IG: “I have no information that [the Clinton investigation] was a pre-determined outcome by anyone.” No, of course not. https://www.weeklystandard.com/eric...-texted-about-the-clinton-email-investigation
