FBI’s former attorney Lisa Page openly voiced her opinion about her treatment, including by President Donald Trump after text messages between her and former FBI agent Peter Strzok were made public, adding that she has come to the realization that “being quiet isn’t making this go away.”
Page spoke with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow about a week after the Justice Department’s inspector general released the findings of its probe into the bureau’s handling of its investigation into Trump campaign associates in 2016.
The Hill reported that long-awaited report sharply criticized the FBI over its handling of applications to surveil a former Trump campaign adviser, but undercut a GOP talking point in finding that the probe was not motivated by political bias.
Page called the inspector general’s findings “two years too late.”
“It won’t make a difference and it’s two years too late,” she said on MSNBC. “[Investigators] realized what I’ve known from the beginning which is that my personal views had no impact on the course of either investigation.”
“Two days later, you see Lindsey Graham in the Senate spend 40 minutes reading text messages again,” she added. “These are three years old. They’ve been described as immaterial ultimately by the inspector general and yet we’re still talking about them.”
