'God, Trump is a loathsome human': FBI lovers involved with Russia AND Clinton email probes called the future president an 'idiot' and discussed via text how they hoped he would lose the election

  • FBI agent Peter Strzok and senior FBI lawyer Lisa Page were having an affair when they shared more than 10,000 texts in 2016 discussing Trump 
  • During their exchanges, they described him as an 'idiot' and a 'loathsome human' and sharing their hopes that Hillary Clinton should win the election
  • Both were involved with Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe into potential Russian influence on the 2016 election
  • Pair's texts are now under investigation by the Justice Department's inspector general
  • Many dismissed the comments as simple discussion between the pair
  • But any suggestion that investigators may have been biased against Trump will fuel calls by Republicans for second special counsel to investigate Mueller 

Two high ranking FBI officials involved in Robert Mueller's Russian probe exchanged text messages calling Donald Trump 'an idiot'.

FBI agent Peter Strzok and senior FBI lawyer Lisa Page, who were having an affair, shared more than 10,000 texts in 2016 discussing the future president. 

During their exchanges, they described Trump as an 'idiot' and a 'loathsome human' and shared their hopes that Hillary Clinton should win the election, the Washington Post reported.

Special Counsel Mueller removed Strzok from the investigation into collusion between Trump's administration and Russia during the 2016 election, after the messages revealing anti-Trump sentiment first emerged in July.

Page had already ended her assignment to Mueller's office.

The pair's texts are now under investigation by the Justice Department's inspector general.

Both Strzok and Page were key players in the investigation into Clinton's use of a private email server as well as the Russian probe. They'd been involved in an extra martial affair during the Clinton investigation.

The texts date back to 2015, shortly after Trump announced his plans to run for president, when Strzok texted that Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders was 'an idiot like Trump.

'Figure they cancel each other out.'

The following year, on March 4, 2016, Page, sent a text to Strzok saying: 'God, Trump is a loathsome human... omg he's an idiot.'

THE SHOCKING TEXTS BETWEEN THE FBI OFFICIALS 

March 2016: Page, sent a text to Strzok saying: 'God, Trump is a loathsome human... omg he's an idiot.'

'He's awful,' Strzok replied. 'Yet he may win' (the Republican nomination), he said, adding that could be 'Good for Hillary.'

Strzok later added that Hillary 'should win 100,000,000-0.'

March 2016:  Page texted Strzok: 'I can not believe Donald Trump is likely to be an actual, serious candidate for president.' 

The same month, Page texted asking if Strzok had heard Trump: 'Make a comment about the size of his d*ck earlier? This man can not be president.'

July 2016, Strzok texted: 'HE [Trump] appears to have no ability to experience reverence which I [SIC] the foundation for any capacity to admire or serve anything bigger than self to want to learn about anything beyond self, to want to know and deeply honor the people around you.'

'He's awful,' Strzok replied. 'Yet he may win' (the Republican nomination), he said, adding that could be 'Good for Hillary.'

Strzok later added that Hillary 'should win 100,000,000-0.'

'Also did you hear [Trump] make a comment about the size of his d*ck earlier? This man can not be president,' Page said later that same evening, according to Politico.

On March 16, 2016, Page texted Strzok: 'I can not believe Donald Trump is likely to be an actual, serious candidate for president.' 

In April, they seemed to become a little nervous of their anti-Trump rants.

Page texted: 'So look, you say we text on that phone when we talk about Hillary because it can't be traced, you were just venting bc you feel bad that you're gone so much but it can't be helped right now.'

The texts also showed that the pair were horrified at the idea then-Sen. Jeff Sessions might be nominated as attorney general.

The messages were uncovered by the Justice Department during an investigation into potential political influence on the Clinton emails and Russian probes. 

While many have argued that the comments were simply discussion between the pair, any suggestion that investigators may have been biased against Trump will fuel calls by Republicans for second special counsel to investigate Mueller's operation.
