The Witch Hunt Revealed

If the leaks were a response to the Congressional investigation that is obstruction of justice

Papadopoulos implied that he believes that he was set up.

No he didn't.

He pointed out that the Trump campaign knew everything about what he was doing.

He implicated the campaign... Implicated Trump and Sessions. This is why Sessions recused himself.

Also RCP does much better reporting than Real Clear Investigations.

So you read the texts that show that it's a conspiracy between at least 3 people but you still insist that the conspiracy only involves 2 people. Got it.

[-Jrabbit]

I'll take that as a "yes."

Real Clear Investigations has an extreme conservative point of view and is disavowed by Real Clear Politics. Many of the writers on RCI are too extreme. Lee Smith... Another one thar can't cut it.

This piece debunks the claim by Strzok's lawyer that the leak strategy was to prevent leaks.

How Anti-Trump Leakers Moved From Offense to Defense


By Lee Smith, RealClearInvestigations

A trail of evidence appearing in major news outlets suggests a campaign to undermine President Trump from within the government through illegal leaks of classified information, and then thwart congressional investigators probing the disclosures.

On Monday the Justice Department released a handful of texts and other documents that included two former officials known for their anti-Trump bias – Peter Strzok and Lisa Page of the FBI – discussing the DOJ’s “media leak strategy.” Strzok now says, through his lawyer, that that strategy was aimed at preventing leaks. Nevertheless, days later he and Page approvingly mention forthcoming news articles critical of Trump associates.

“The leaks that have been coming out of the FBI and DOJ since 2016 are unconscionable,” said retired FBI supervisory special agent James Gagliano. “There’s a difference between whistleblowing and leaking for self-serving or partisan purposes.”

Past and present U.S. officials say the template for the leak campaign can be traced back to the Obama administration’s efforts to sell the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, which made the press reliant on background conversations and favorable leaks from government officials. Obama adviser Ben Rhodes told the New York Times in 2016 that “we created an echo chamber” that “helped retail the administration’s narrative.”

“That same configuration,” said Michael Doran, a senior official in the George W. Bush White House, “the press, political operatives, newly minted experts, social media validators—was repurposed to target Trump, his campaign, transition team, then presidency.” The echo chamber’s primary instrument in attacking the current White House, said Doran, “is the Russia collusion narrative.”

Read the texts

[-Jrabbit]

So in your world, two lovers texting each other is a conspiracy, but top campaign officials and family of a POTUS candidate meeting secretly with Russians is not.

Interesting.

The new texts are evidence of conspiracy

No they aren't. Fake story. The only conspiracy is the one Trump took part in against this country. The one he could be indicted for.
