By Jacqueline Thomsen - 01/26/18 08:47 AM EST

FBI officials considered appointing a special prosecutor to oversee a probe into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server, Politico reported Thursday.

Texts between FBI agent Peter Strzok and FBI attorney Lisa Page show that former U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald was considered being named to the probe.

"Thought of the perfect person [FBI Director James Comey] can bounce this off of?" Strzok said in a March 2016 text to Page. "Pat....You got to give me credit if we go with him....And delay briefing him on until I can get back and do it, Late next week or later."

"We talked about him last night, not for this, but how great he is," Page responded.

Fitzgerald  - I think he's been involved in some other high profile issues.  Have to look him up when I get a chance.

How is it the responsibility of the FBI to appoint a Special Prosecutor?

Oh wait, this was the DOJ-FBI of Lynch, Comey whereby the /FBI Director took upon himself, the decision to NOT prosecute H. Clinton for the felonies f endangering US national security by her negligence.

My bad.
