The most insightful person who writes about the whole Russia-Trump mess has to be Andy McCarthy. He is a former prosecutor and is fully aware of all the internal FBI lingo and practices that permeate many of the relevant documents. He is also tireless in ferreting out bits of information from an avalanche of documents. Just the other day, he came out with information that can only be called a true bombshell. Here's what it is:
In the summer of 2016, the FBI began its counter-intelligence probe of the Russian intervention in the election and the suspected collusion between the Russians and the Trump campaign. We know that there was no such collusion, or at least that after looking for almost two years there has been no evidence of such collusion found. We also know that the Obama FBI and CIA planted a spy or spies inside the Trump campaign to secretly gather information about what the campaign officials were doing. Well, Andy McCarthy went back to one of the gold mines of this whole story, the text messages between Peter Strzok a senior agent of the FBI and his mistress Lisa Page, an attorney who worked for FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe. When the counter-intelligence investigation began, Strzok was sent immediately to London to meet with someone whose name is redacted from the text messages. When Strzok got back there was a big meeting as some sort of kick off for the whole investigation. Strzok was there and he told Page about it. Here's how McCarthy describes that exchange:
Finally, after some back-and-forth over who should be invited to a major meeting about the new case, a meeting was held. In the aftermath, at about 4:30 p.m., Strzok and Page had the following exchange:
Think about that for a moment. At the big meeting to kick off the investigation into Russia-Trump the FBI senior agents involved are told, THE WHITE HOUSE IS RUNNING THIS"!!!!!!! Strzok undoubtedly went to London to meet with Stefan Halper, the Oxford professor who was then inserted into the Trump campaign so as to spy for the Obama FBI/CIA. That's right, a spy is put into place to inform on the Trump campaign when we know that there was no evidence of any wrongdoing by that campaign, and it was THE WHITE HOUSE that was running the whole thing. THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!!! Amazing!
Without a doubt, we will hear over and over again in the next weeks and months that no one in the Obama White House knew anything about putting a spy into the Trump campaign. The problem is that Peter Strzok's need to fill in his mistress about what happened at the meeting has just ruined that defense. We can't know for certain from this that president Obama knew the details of what was happening, but it certainly seems likely. We do now know that White House personnel were in charge of the operation.
Someone really needs to go to jail for this.

Strzok: And hi. Went well, best we could have expected. Other than [REDACTED] quote: “the White House is running this.” My answer, “well, maybe for you they are.” And of course, I was planning on telling this guy, thanks for coming, we’ve got an hour, but with Bill [Priestap] there, I’ve got no control….
Page: Yeah, whatever (re the WH comment). We’ve got the emails that say otherwise.
