A Justice Department Inspector General’s report identifies another pair of FBI agents who engaged in a personal relationship and exchanged messages highly critical of President Donald Trump.
The agents, identified only as Agent 1 and Agent 5 in the report, are in addition to the already identified couple, Peter Strzrok and Lisa Page, who exchanged anti-Trump texts in 2016 while having an affair.
In just one August 29, 2016 exchange, the pair have an exchange about things they would ‘rather’ not have to do.
‘I’m trying to think of a ‘would i rather’ instead of spending time with those people’ writes Agent 5, a woman.

‘Stick your tongue in a fan??’ replies Agent 5.
‘I would rather have brunch with trump’ writes agent 5.
‘French toast with drumpf’ responds agent 1, using the germanization of Trump’s name.
‘I would rather have brunch with trump and a bunch of his supporters like the ones from ohio that are retarded,’ wrote Agent 5 in an exchange identified by the Weekly Standard.
The report says the pair ‘were in a relationship at the time and are now married.’
In another exchange, on Election Day, Agent 1 writes: ‘You think HRC is gonna win right? You think we should get nails and some boards in case she doesnt,’ using Hillary Clinton’s initials.

Agent 1 responded: ‘ooooooooooooooooooo’
‘Screw you trump,’ texted Agent 5, adding: ‘wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!’

Agents are permitted to vote and have political preferences, but investigators asked whether the messages showed bias that could harm the ‘integrity’ of the Clinton probe.

‘Yes, I, I have personal, a personal life, private opinions, private views. I think what happened here is that I used instant message and chat like it was my home,’ said Agent 1.
Agent 1 said at the prospect of interviewing Clinton in connection with her email scandal: ‘
“My god … I’m actually starting to have embarrassment sprinkled on my disappointment. … Ever been forced to do something you adamantly opposed.”
The agent later explained: “I don’t want to make it sound like there was no reason to interview her.”
