Judicial Watch (JW) has done it again. They have recovered 138 pages of texts between Peter Strzok and his FBI lover Lisa Page. In those texts we find out that not all copies of the Steele dossier are the same, so the copy the FBI had could be positively identified as coming from John McCain. McCain admitted to giving the FBI his copy but he denied giving it to BuzzFeed. But Buzzfeed’s copy was identical to McCain’s.
They may not have gotten it from McCain per se but possibly got it from David Kramer who traveled to Europe to get McCain a copy. Both McCain and and Kramer were ardent NeverTrumpers. It’s funny but Kyrsten Sinema actually votes with Republicans more than McCain did after Trump was elected. McCain had become a bitter old man.
Something else that JW found was that leadership at the top of the FBI would mock Trump after his election, which displayed a very strong bias against the new president.

Judicial Watch announced today it received 138 pages of emails between former FBI official Peter Strzok and former FBI attorney Lisa Page. The records include an email dated January 10, 2017, in which Strzok said that the version of the dossier published by BuzzFeed was “identical” to the version given to the FBI by McCain and had “differences” from the dossier provided to the FBI by Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson and Mother Jones reporter David Corn. January 10, 2017, is the same day BuzzFeed published the anti-Trump dossier by former British spy Christopher Steele, The emails also show Strzok and other FBI agents mocking President Trump a few weeks before he was inaugurated. In addition, the emails reveal that Strzok communicated with then-Deputy Director Andrew McCabe about the “leak investigation” tied to the Clinton Foundation (the very leak in which McCabe was later implicated).
On January 10, 2017, BuzzFeed published a version of the phony Steele dossier that Peter Strzok said was “identical” to what then-Senator McCain’s office gave to the FBI.
On January 10, 2017, Strzok, under the subject “RE: Buzzfeed published some of the reports,” writes: “Our internet system is blocking the site. I have the pdf via iPhone, but it’s 25.6MB. Comparing now. The set is only identical to what [Sen. John] McCain had (it has differences from what was given to us by Corn and Simpson).”
Now it’s revealed the FBI also knew McCain leaked the dossier to the media.
“These new emails show that Strzok and his Obama FBI colleagues knew almost immediately that McCain likely leaked the infamous dossier,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “The emails also show that senior FBI officials had contempt for President Trump and gossiped about its counterintelligence briefing to him. The FBI under Comey and McCabe was a train wreck and, given the ongoing cover-up of these docs, the agency hasn’t improved much.”
