Lisa Page Text to Peter Strzok: ‘You get all our oconus lures approved? ;)'
[RedState] A fascinating article, written by Judicial Watch's Chris Farrell, a former counterintelligence case officer, recently appeared on the Gatestone Institute's website. Just when we thought we could recite every text message ever exchanged between Page and Strzok, along comes a new one. In December 2015, Page wrote to Strzok, "You get all our oconus lures approved? ;)."

Because, believe it or not, the FBI is prohibited from such activities as investigating a major political party's candidate for the presidency, they needed to find an alternative. Farrell explains that their alternative was to "manufacture a foreign counterintelligence (FCI) "threat" that could then be "imported" back into the United States." He writes:

Plausible deniability, the Holy Grail of covert activities, was in reach for the plotters if they could develop an FCI operation outside the continental United States (OCONUS) involving FBI confidential human sources (Halper, Mifsud, others?) that would act as "lures" (intelligence jargon associated with double agent operations) to ensnare Trump associates.

We have evidence of these machinations from December 2015 when FBI lawyer Lisa Page texts to her boyfriend, the now infamous FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok, "You get all our oconus lures approved? ;)."

The coup plot failed, but the chief coup conspirators are free, crisscrossing the country on book tours and appearing as paid contributors to CNN and MSNBC.

#1 Surely must have been some kind of fishing tackle.

#3 This may only be a portion of the Executive Order 12333 (prohibition of collection against US Persons) skirting. Unless I missed something, nothing in here about foreign intelligence agency assistance.

I believe the enabling of foreign intelligence agency activities against US persons could be characterized as espionage.

#4 Is it not documented that Steele and Simpson/Ohr/GPS enabled foreign intelligence activities - Russian, British, Australian, perhaps also Italian intelligence activities - against US persons?

#5 Ref #4: And well, there you have it. Before the media or pols go there, unless something has changed I don't recall Russia and Italy as being "Five Eyes" members.

#6 Some of Mifsud's activities took place in Rome, did they not?
Didn't Steele consort with GRU operatives in Moscow?

This seems like an obvious case of enabling foreign intel activities against US persons.

#7 This doesn't even address the Ukrainians' activities orchestrated by Chalupa, GPS, possibly the pro-Clinton Blue Star lobbying firm as well.

#8 I would also suggest we not forget the placement and access of Russian expert and writer Nellie Ohr and Foggy Bottom employed husband Bruce.

#9 'Nellie Ohr'...there's that name again:

The political makeup of the team [FUSION GPS]
was exclusively democratic with many of the employees and interns having a strong political connection to the Clinton or Obama administrations. Jason Raymond, the Research Director, came from John Kerry’s press office and was affiliated with USAID; Laura Seago, a senior analyst, came from the Brennan Center for Justice and was also affiliated with USAID.

#10 I can't stop thinking that it is the season to decorate lamp posts.

#11 You have to be supremely stupid or supremely confident to text something like that.
