What does a text exchange between 2 FBI agents have to do

Last edited Tue Jan 23, 2018, 10:56 AM - Edit history (1)

With the investigation of Trump and team's criminal conspiracy with Russians? Nothing. Trump and his minions are not disputing the facts of the investigation but are trying to shift the focus to something completely irrelevant like private text exchanges between two FBI agents.

There are probably emails between every agent in the FBI? But they still do their jobs.

It means nothing.

Create reasonable doubt.

Their behavior is telling us that Mueller must have damaging information.
