Early in May 2017, after Trump fired FBI Director James Comey, Acting Attorney General Rod Rosenstein (he was the acting AG because Jeff Sessions recused himself), appointed Robert Mueller to lead a special investigation as the Independent Counsel (IC) into Trump and Trump's Campaign's collusion with Russia and obstruction of justice for firing Comey. The Office of Independent Council (OIC) hired numerous known left wing partisan lawyers like Andrew Weismann but also "used" FBI staff that were ostensively but not really reporting to the FBI but were taking order from the left wing partisan lawyers working for the OIC. At some point in June, Robert Mueller removed Peter Strzok from the OIC team because text messages between Strzok and Page surfaced. Mueller kept his mouth shut about the text messages but quietly removed Strzok. Lisa Page was never on the OIC team. Anyway, the text messages came to light because Peter Strzok's fat wife suspected Strzok and Page of having an affair and snooped on his government issued phone finding the texts between them. In a pique of jealous rage she threatened to turn them in forcing Peter Strzok to get a new phone from the FBI after turning in his old work phone. (in a dumdum's mind, the way to solve a problem with a wife who doesn't like to be cheated on, is the cheater gets a new phone because that of course, will stop the wife from being suspicious and feeling scorned). The messages were found on Strzok's phone by the FBI "device team" that processes old FBI phones. Thus Mueller fired Strzok because it would look bad to have someone like Strzok on the OIC team. At about the same time, or a bit earlier, the Inspector General Horowitz (IG. The IG's sit in Federal Government agencies, departments, etc to internally inspect processes and procedures to make sure everything is legal and in compliance with the law) was alerted to certain problems regarding the Crossfire Hurricane's methodology. IG Horowitz became aware of the text messages between Lisa Page and Peter Strzok. We don't know how that happened but either the "phone cleaning team" at the FBI told him, an agent told him or Lisa Page told him. Anyway, when Trump's lawyers asked for the text messages given a certain "leak" that Strzok and Page were having an affair and said things about Trump that tainted the investigation, the "phone cleaning' team and Mueller said they didn't have the text messages. however, IG Horowitz said he did have the text messages because he was already looking into the affair. Thus the saga of Lisa Page and Peter Strzok happened.
They brought Weissman in because this type of stuff is his specialty. He is a very unique guy in that regard, if you look into his history you'll see exactly why he was a good fit for the position they were seeking to fill.
This guy is the ultimate piece of scummy shit and he knows it, he is like that Worm Tongue character from LOTR, just a really slimy sleazy creepy guy and a pool of diarrhea.
There were a lot of moving parts in this game of hot potato, the game they were playing was very stupid and very dangerous so they wanted plausible deniability (like Obama, he kept his end of things fairly clean and had been referenced to by Strzok and Brennan and a few others, so it was known through them that he knew)
Hey, we can just send it to CNN! A random person with a claim is all they need to claim it's true. I'm sure they'll use the same standards for our side. /s
It is a nothing burger, go to The Conservative Treehouse, he has been following all of this for sometime, he explains it is yet another, "Ok just don't do it again" by Barr.
Exactly not one FBI agent came forward. I don’t trust the entire department.
This right here. Not a single FBI agent came forward. If Strzok's wife hadn't had a fit of jealousy, we'd would have never known.
Wait what? Please ELI5

This was such a great response to my question thank you so much.
Now I can articulate this to others.
Thank you Pede!!!

Just another DC reach-around.
Yes. Nothing will happen.
Carry on.
The Mueller probe . . .
Need proof, not just a random person with a claim
Hey, we can just send it to CNN! A random person with a claim is all they need to claim it's true. I'm sure they'll use the same standards for our side. /s
Wouldnt it be cool if Justice existed in this country?
Talk about a circle jerk of corruption.
Didn't Weissman tweet out protection for Clinesmith? Perhaps he was unaware that he had become bus-bait
It is a nothing burger, go to The Conservative Treehouse, he has been following all of this for sometime, he explains it is yet another, "Ok just don't do it again" by Barr.
Literally everything is flipping I think we have reached the tipping point
Jesus, how is this 'developing' - we've known this for YEARS. Only difference is that we know Clinesmith's name
