Lisa Page is an attorney employed within the Department of Justice and FBI. Lisa Page served for a time with the Special Counsel investigation of Robert Mueller into Russian collusion. In July 2017 Lisa Page began cooperating with the FBI internal Inspection Division (INSD) and the DOJ Office of Inspector General (OIG) investigation into Obama era abuses of US intelligence services and law enforcement to harass and illegally spy on domestic political opponents.
Lisa Page specializes in complex and international money laundering cases. During the 2016 Presidential election Lisa Page served as Special Counsel to Deputy Director Andrew McCabe of the FBI, and continued to serve in that capacity into 2017 while McCabe served as Acting Director of the FBI. Lisa Page provided evidence to FBI and OIG investigators in the form of the Strzok/Page text messages to exonerate herself of the charge of unauthorized media leaks regarding the FBI's Clinton Foundation investigation. The evidence proved Dep. Dir. McCabe instructed her to leak, a fact McCabe denied and subsequently was fired for lying to investigators.
Clinton email investigation
From Lisa Page's text messages the American people learned the fix was in to exonerate Hillary Clinton for national security breaches and destruction of federal government documents. Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced that she would accept whatever recommendation FBI Director James Comey made about charging Clinton. Lisa Page and FBI Deputy Assistant Director (DAD) for Counterintelligence Peter Strzok exchanged messages saying that Lynch knew in advance of FBI's decision not to charge Hillary Clinton.
Strzok – Holy cow....nyt breaking [Matt] Apuzzo,[1] Lynch will accept whatever recommendation and career prosecutors make. No political appointee input.
Strzok – Lynch. Timing not great, but whatever. Wonder if that's why the coordination language added.
Page – No way. This is a purposeful leak following the airplane snafu.
Strzok – Timing looks like hell. Will appear to be choreographed. All major news networks literally leading with "AG to accept FBI Director's recommendation."
Page – Yeah, that is awful timing. Nothing we can do about it.
Strzok – What I meant was, did DOJ tell us yesterday they were doing this, so Director added that language.
Strzok – Yep. I told Bill [Priestap] the same thing. Delaying just makes it worse.
Page – And yes. I think we had some warning of it. I know they sent some statement to [Comey Chief of Staff James] Rybicki, bc he called Andy [McCabe].
Page – And yeah, it's a real profile in courage, since Lynch knows no charges will be brought.
