Lisa Page: “(Trump’s) not ever going to become president, right? Right?!”

Peter Strzok: “No. No he’s not. We’ll stop it.”

That reply from Strzok was never included in the release from the FBI. The OIG recovered the text using their independent forensics. The FBI intentionally hid the Strzok reply. The OIG only discovered it four days ago according to Daily Caller [SEE HERE].

Lisa Page text to Peter Strzok: “(Trump’s) not ever going to become president, right? Right?!” Strzok reply: “No. No he’s not.
