Strzok-Page texts show they freaked out after Comey firing: 'DYING down here'

There are new text messages obtained from DOJ by Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton between Lisa Page and Peter Strzok both of whom are still employed by the FBI for some strange reason. 

The newly recovered messages exchanged between the Trump-hating lovers Strzok and Page reveal their shock and frustration after James Comey was fired by President Trump in May 2017. They apparently ran around like headless chickens reacting to the news.

The messages were transmitted to congressional committees on Thursday by the DOJ after the inspector general announced his office was able to recover missing communications sent during the critical period between December 14, 2016 and May 17, 2017, the time of Comey's canning and Mueller's appointment as Special Counsel.

On the day former FBI Director Comey was fired, the lovebirds exchanged a barrage of text messages.

"Ack dammit I'm DYING down here," Strzok wrote. He invited his sweetie pie to talk and suggested they do lunch with another person whose name was redacted. "Now more than ever this is an important, critical time."

Just moments before, Strzok wrote, "And we need to open the case we've been waiting on now while Andy is acting."

The "case" referred to is not known, but the message suggests Strzok wanted to act while Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe was still in charge after Comey was sent packing.

Page replied, "We need to lock in [redacted]. In a formal chargeable way. Soon."

Several days afterward, their texts show Page and Strzok rallying behind Comey.

"Are you watching this s*t?!?? Call me when you're off..." Strzok texted. "... [Sarah Huckabee Sanders] said D [Comey] had 'lost confidence of rank and file of fbi.'"

The paramours exchanged texts days later about feeling a "sense of loss," over Comey's departure, evidently. "Having a tough time processing tonight, Lis. Feeling a profound sense of loss," Strzok wrote through tears of profound sadness.

Page replied: "I feel that same loss. I want to see what the FBI could become under him! His vision of greatness for our strong but flawed organization. I'm angry. Angry and mourning. We will endure, we just won't be as good."

Gag me with a spoon.

"Yeah I keep telling myself the organization is much bigger and stronger than any one person, that we'll endure. But that didn't seem to help," Strzok replied.

How very fair and balanced.
