(Reuters) - Senior FBI officials who helped probe Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign told a colleague that Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton had to win the race to the White House, the New York Times reported on Tuesday.
Peter Strzok, a senior FBI agent, said Clinton “just has to win” in a text sent to FBI lawyer Lisa Page, the Times reported.
The messages showed concern from Strzok and Page that a Trump presidency could politicize the FBI, the report said, citing texts turned over to Congress and obtained by the newspaper.
Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz is investigating the texts in a probe into FBI’s handling of its investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server for official correspondence when she was Secretary of State under former President Barack Obama, the report added.
Strzok was removed from working on the Russia probe after media reports earlier this month suggested he had exchanged text messages that disparaged Trump and supported Clinton.

Those who dwell in the Swamp were all for Hillary, who would have congratulated these SOBs for doing her bidding.

The messages showed concern from Strzok and Page that a Trump presidency could politicize the FBI... This statement alone is proof that the FBI already is "politicized."

Yeah, especially given that the FBI politicized itself a long time ago.

...a Trump presidency could politicize the FBI... Apparently, he meant politicize it in the wrong direction. It's pretty obvious that the FBI had already been politicized.

The messages showed concern from Strzok and Page that a Trump presidency could politicize the FBI...It is staggering that these people apparently are so utterly devoid of self awareness that they fail to see the irony in what they have transacted.

Strzok is a criminal and an ahole, but I sure hope my fellow FReepers don't join in on this frenzy over his PRIVATE text messages to his lover. These were PRIVATE text messages, no different than a phone conversation, etc., and should be OFF LIMITS to Congress' review or anyone else's scrutiny.
Yes he's biased, but this frenzy over his PRIVATE text messages is totally uncalled for. The Repubs are falling into a DIVERSION TRAP here and better STOP. NOW. Strzok's PRIVATE texts are HIS and his lover's business, NOT OURS.

It’s amazing how Mueller thinks that he’s going to undo the Election.
To: simpson96
It was worse than that. NYT is covering up. They were discussing Plan B to “insure” taking out Trump if he won.

This Obama Admin abuse of power is a scandal greater than Watergate. The fact that the media is covering and the criminals are investigating themselves is pathetic.

If you’re serious you’re an idiot. Text messages among top FBI officials about meetings at FBI headquarters are not even remotely private especially when they are discussing an alternate to the election!

Let me tell Judge N something. When you are a top FBI official you don’t have these type of conversations in the office or in texts out of concern for the integrity of the FBI.

I think he meant that a Trump victory would DE-POLITICIZE the FBI.
