Text messages between ex-members of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe have surfaced and contain references to President Donald Trump as a “loathsome human,” and “an idiot.”
“Trump should go f himself,” was one of the 10,000 text messages between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page in 2016 referring to then-candidate Trump. The messages, being reviewed by the Justice Department, were obtained by Fox News on Tuesday.
An FBI counterintelligence agent, Strzok was removed from the Mueller investigation and reassigned to the FBI’s human resources department following the discovery of the text messages with Page, who was also briefly part of the probe team. Strzok was reportedly having an affair with Page at the time.
Fox News’ Heather Childers said the “stunning” revelation in the exchanges obtained by the network were “not pretty” and some could not even be shared on morning TV.
Fox News reporter Shannon Bream shared the content of some of the texts in a series of tweets.

One exchange from March 2016, according to Fox News:
“Seriously?! Would you not [vote] D[emocrat]?” Page responded.
“I don’t know,” Strzok answered. “I suppose Hillary [Clinton].”
“I would [vote] D,” Page affirmed.
Two days later, Page texted Strzok, “God, Trump is a loathsome human.”
“Yet he many[sic] win,” Strzok responded. “Good for Hillary.”
Later the same day, Strzok texted Page, “Omg [Trump’s] an idiot.”
“He’s awful,” Page answered.
“America will get what the voting public deserves,” said Strzok, to which Page responded. “That’s what I’m afraid of.”
Later that same day, Strzok texted Page, “Ok I may vote for Trump.”
“What?” answered Page. “Poor Kasich. He’s the only sensible man up there.”
“He was pretty much calling for death for [NSA leaker] Edward Snowden,” Strzok said. “I’m a single-issue voter. ;) Espionage Machine Party.”
Strzok later told Page, “Exacty [sic] re Kasich. And he has ZERO appeal.”
In another message nearly two weeks later, Page texted Strzok, “I can not believe Donald Trump is likely to be an actual, serious candidate for president.”

The pair also mocked Trump and his family at the Republican National Convention.
“Oooh, TURN IT ON, TURN IT ON!!! THE DO*CHEBAGS ARE ABOUT TO COME OUT,” Strzok texted Page on July 19. “You can tell by the excitable clapping.”
Later, Strzok reached out to Page again, saying, “Omg. You listening to npr? Apparently Melania’s speech had passages lifted from Michelle Obama’s…Unbelievable.”
“NO WAY!” Page answered, adding “God, it’s just a two-bit organization. I do so hope his disorganization comes to bite him hard in November.”
On Aug. 6, Page texted Strzok a New York Times article and added the message, “Jesus. You should read this. And Trump should go f himself.”
“Thanks for sharing. And F TRUMP,” was Strzok’s response.

The deeply biased messages continued between the two who would be asked to serve on Mueller’s supposedly impartial investigation team.
Strzok/Page texts 10/20/16
PS – I am riled up. Trump is a f*cking idiot, is unable to provide a coherent answer.
PS – I CAN’T PULL AWAY, WHAT THE F*CK HAPPENED TO OUR COUNTRY (redacted)??!?!
LP – I don’t know. But we’ll get it back. …

The investigation into alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian officials seems to be drowning in accusations of collusion itself as Strzok’s anti-Trump bias in the text messages led to his removal from the probe and his demotion at the FBI.
While everyone was focused on Alabama election, Trump got a big victory in the courts
Strzok played a leading role in Hillary Clinton email server investigations and questioning former Trump National Security Advisor Mike Flynn.
