WASHINGTON (AP) — An FBI lawyer who made headlines for exchanging derogatory text messages about President Donald Trump has left the bureau.That’s according to a person familiar with the situation, who said Lisa Page voluntarily resigned on Friday and is taking a new job.

Text messages between Page and Peter Strzok, an FBI agent who was assigned to special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, show them expressing negative views about Trump and referring to him in derogatory ways.

Strzok was reassigned from the special counsel team after the text messages were brought to Mueller’s attention. Page had already left the Mueller team.

Republican lawmakers have pointed to the texts as evidence of partisan bias at the FBI.

The New York Times first reported Page’s resignation.

    Yes, it’s biased against criminals and traitors. Go figure.

    If you haven’t watched SNL’s skit last might, please do. Gets Sunday off to a great start!

  2. With Trump and his gang of Republican thugs it is nasty comments one after another and they are merely expressing their heartfelt personal views, but let a couple of mid-level people exchange anything derogatory about the Trump criminal enterprise and it is a national scandal above the fold on the front page of the New York Times.

  3. Thanks for the link. I hadn’t seen that. It was actually quite awesome.

  4. One of the best openings of SNL in years. A storm is coming.

  5. Trump colluded with Russian intelligence agents and Russian organized criminals.

    I point to the lack of texts as evidence of partisan bias by conservative oligarchs who want to turn American liberal democracy into a fake, irrelevant exercise.
