Fox & Friends Reads Anti-Trump Texts from FBI Agent Removed from Mueller Investigation

Role Play! Fox & Friends Reads Anti-Trump Texts from FBI Agent Removed from Mueller Investigation (Mediaite) 

Fox News recently obtained a copy of the private text messagesexchanged between two FBI agents that led to the dismissal of Peter Strzok from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team of investigators. This morning, the hosts of Fox & Friends did a bit of role-playing by reading out the ostensibly damning texts.

But the presentation of this so-called damning evidence of career government officials exchanging private thoughts seemed to be far less incriminating of the “deep state” than anticipated, especially given the sturm and drang with which right-of-center opinion programs at Fox News have presented the news.

In the past week, critics have seen something of a coordinated effort to undermine the Mueller investigation, with full-throated attacks on US law officials led by Jeannine Pirro, Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Fox & Friends, Laura Ingraham and numerous pro-Trump talk radio programs and websites. In fact, if the so-called “mainstream media” were to make a similar critique, they’d likely be vilified for hating America.
