Want them!
Donnie is agitated.
Wow, 19,000 Texts between Lisa Page and her lover, Peter S of the FBI, in charge of the Russia Hoax, were just reported as being wiped clean and gone. Such a big story that will never be covered by the Fake News. Witch Hunt!

A REAL scandal is the one sided coverage, hour by hour, of networks like NBC & Democrat spin machines like Saturday Night Live. It is all nothing less than unfair news coverage and Dem commercials. Should be tested in courts, can’t be legal? Only defame & belittle! Collusion?

So where are all the missing Text messages between fired FBI agents Peter S and the lovely Lisa Page, his lover. Just reported that they have been erased and wiped clean. What an outrage as the totally compromised and conflicted Witch Hunt moves ever so slowly forward. Want them!

Remember, Michael Cohen only became a “Rat” after the FBI did something which was absolutely unthinkable & unheard of until the Witch Hunt was illegally started. They BROKE INTO AN ATTORNEY’S OFFICE! Why didn’t they break into the DNC to get the Server, or Crooked’s office?

No they didn’t. He was told no they didn’t at the time. He doesn’t listen if he doesn’t want to hear it.
Updating to add Elie Honig tweet:
I worked mafia cases for years in SDNY, mainly Gambino and Genovese. I usually hesitate to make this comparison but here it is completely warranted. This – calling somebody who provides information to law enforcement a “rat” – is straight up mob boss language. https://t.co/K8w46rVMP5

Judge Ken Starr, former Solicitor Generel & Independent Counsel, just stated that, after two years, “there is no evidence or proof of collusion” & further that “there is no evidence that there was a campaign financing violation involving the President.” Thank you Judge. @FoxNews

Oddly enough, Ken Starr’s saying something on Fox News makes no difference to the Special Counsel investigation.
How does Ken Star know? Has he been peering over Mueller’s shoulders?
What I find amusing about these public statements from former prosecutors is how they ignore their own knowledge and awareness of the legal system. The idea that a “witch hunt” would reach the subpoena stage, never mind the indictment and plea agreement stage completely disregards the rules of evidence and other procedural hurdles. And let’s also ignore that many of the judges involved are Republican appointees.
“Deep State” is Trump code for “people who want to hold me accountable for stuff I did”.
Funny, I thought it was code for “people who think they know stuff that I don’t, who are blocking what I want to do.”
Wait. Put these together and I think you come up with:
DEEP STATE = ADULTS
That’s so 2017.
^ this right here.
Is it illegal for FBI employees to delete personal text messages from their own (I assume that the agency has a record of everything sent or received via an FBI-issue phone; it’s the FBI, for fuck’s sake, it’s what they do) phones?
Also, is it just me or does 19,000 messages between two people sound a tad unrealistic? Is this just Trump imagining that everybody shares his obsession with himself, and then trying to quantify that obsession?
I’ll bet he won’t show the same courtesy to his sentencing judge.
Especially if it’s a woman. He’ll probably try that hand-wavy thing he used on Pelosi.
So, the Bari Weiss/Andrew Sullivan/Dark Web free speech brigade are going to be all over this story of the president of the United States threatening to take comedy writers to court for mocking him, right? Or did some Oberlin freshman do something silly that is the REAL threat to Our Liberty?
Does Trump seriously lump SNL in with news organizations? So, does he think SNL is news? Or that CBS and MSNBC are parody? Or is he simply unaware of anything outside his own self and his own desires?
You don’t need to answer that multiple choice question. I know the answer.
AoS,
Apparently there were 20,000 texts between them over a space of five months that went missing because of a technical glitch, but they’ve been recovered.
That works out to about 133 texts per day. I assume that about half of those were emojis.
