Bill McGurn: The Text Messages Between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page ‘Suggest They Knew What They Were Doing Was Improper’

‘Some of their messages like that one contradict the official line out there’

EXCERPT:

SCOTT: "The timing of all of this is at the very least suspicious because James Comey had not come out yet and said that Hillary Clinton would not be charged."
MCGURN: "Right. Although he had drafted a statement, right, earlier, that she would not be charged before she had been interviewed. Look, Jon, it’s just the latest piece of evidence that we need to know more about what the FBI was doing. Agents are entitled to have their own opinions and strong opinions, but the text messages back and forth between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page suggest they knew that what they were doing was improper. There are several references to we shouldn’t be doing this over our work phones and so forth. And some of their messages like that one kind of contradict the official line that's out there. So people need to know was this an honest inquiry?"
