In newly surfaced text messages between the two lovers and FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, it seems President Barack Obama asked to receive updates on as the agencys probe into Hillary Clintons private email scandal developed.
The specific text in question, as reported by Fox News, is dated September 2, 2016 and involves Page texting Strzok who worked on the investigation into Clinton for updates regarding a report as potus wants to know everything were doing. The exchange was apparently about preparing talking points for then-FBI Director James Comey to give to President Obama.
According to a newly released Senate report, Fox News reported, this text raises questions about Obamas personal involvement in the Clinton email investigation.
While this text is sure to add fuel to Republicans and conservative media declaring insidious bias on behalf of the FBI, this message does not necessarily prove any wrongdoing by Obama or the agents. In fact, as noted by The Daily Beasts Lachlan Markay, the text was sent just three days prior to Obama calling-out Russian President Vladimir Putin over election tampering issues, which could be why the then-president would want updates on the FBIs investigations at that time.

(4,407 posts)Sean Hannity will blow this so out of proportion, and the Republicans will claim another pretext to attack the FBI. It doesn't matter if it is a nothingburger; they live to turn nothingburgers into full blown hysteria.
