The Hill reported that House and Senate panels are looking anew at the text messages exchanged between agent Peter Strzok and lawyer Lisa Page, who were romantically involved and exchanged anti-Trump views in their now-public texts. They also discussed news articles and strategized on how to react. One set of texts in late October 2016 suggests they knew about a Wall Street Journal article in advance. After Page alerted Strzok to the piece’s publication, Strzok responded:
“Boy that was fast. Should I ‘find’ it and tell the team?”
Other text messages reviewed by The Hill showed the two agents seemingly attempting to track down New York Times reporter Matt Apuzzo, who has covered the Russia collusion investigation.“We got a list of kids with their parents’ names. How many Matt Apuzzo’s (sic) could there be in DC,” Page texted. “Showed J a picture, he said he thinks he has seen a guy who kinda looks like that, but always really schlubby. I said that sounds like every reporter I have ever seen.”
Strzok texted back, “He’s TOTALLY schlubby. Don’t you remember?”
It's crazy to think in 2017 we have a law enforcement agency being used to hunt and prosecute political parties and sitting presidents.

Let's hope they are that stupid to use their gov/personal phones for illegal activities.

Why is it so crazy? It's not the first time it's happened, by any means. The Bureau was balls-deep in McCarthyism and "anti-American" investigations. They were balls-deep in the civil rights era, to the point they were playing both sides of the game.
Given the incredibly politically-charged atmosphere of the last year and change, I don't think it's crazy at all. More of the same past behavior.
Disappointing in the extreme? Yes. Crazy? Not at all.

Or a IG and AG with some balls....at least enough to do their jobs.
If you want to stop this type of behavior make examples out of all these miscreants.

OIG can only make recommendations; it has no teeth. It rests on the AG. I'm being patient, though. Because it is so politically-charged, they may be waiting for the OIG report to drop before formally pursuing this. I think they are making the safe play.
If Sessions still sits on his hands after the report is published, however, I'll be ready to grab my pitchfork, too.
