Newly discovered text messages obtained by The Federalist reveal two key federal law enforcement officials conspired to meet with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) judge who presided over the federal case against Michael Flynn. The judge, Rudolph Contreras, was recused from handling the case just days after accepting the guilty plea of President Donald Trumpâ€™s former national security adviser who was charged with making false statements to federal investigators.

The text messages about Contreras between controversial Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) lawyer Lisa Page and Peter Strzok, the senior FBI counterintelligence official who was kicked off Robert Muellerâ€™s special counsel team, were deliberately hidden from Congress, multiple congressional investigators told The Federalist. In the messages, Page and Strzok, who are rumored to have been engaged in an illicit romantic affair, discussed Strzokâ€™s personal friendship with Contreras and how to leverage that relationship in ongoing counterintelligence matters

Because they're not going to cut each others' heads off?

An EXCELLENT point my lady! And exactly why an independent council from far outside the beltway is desperately needed!

Hell, we can't even get Sessions to fire McCabe. There is no way anyone will ever be given their pink slip.

It is infuriating. Somebody needs to hit Sessions in the chest with some epinephrine a la Mia Wallace.
