I’m surprised it took this long.
Lisa Page– that horrid FBI official who exchanged anti-Trump text messages with her lover Peter Strzok– has resigned from the bureau. So has Jim Baker, the FBI lawyer who “was reassigned in late 2017 after being linked to a journalist who wrote about the so-called ‘Trump dossier.'”
Lisa Page, whose electronic communications with another FBI employee drew accusations of political bias, “resigned” Friday to “pursue other opportunities,” an FBI spokesperson told Fox News.
James Comey is heartbroken.
A great public servant retired from the FBI today. Jim Baker’s integrity and commitment to the rule of law have benefitted our country through 5 presidents, of both parties. We are fortunate he and so many others choose to devote their lives to justice.

Speaking of “integrity” and “commitment to the rule of law”…
Baker had been the subject of a Justice Department investigation on suspicion of leaking classified information about the so-called “Trump dossier” – a document that supposedly contained evidence about the Trump campaign’s connection to Russia.
He had been reassigned in December as an adviser to current FBI Director Christopher Wray.
He was reassigned because he was just OVERFLOWING with integrity, you guys. But back to Page.
Page, who was previously a member of Robert Mueller’s special counsel team, came under fire for allegedly sending “anti-Trump” text messages to a colleague.
She was one of Comey’s advisers in 2016 when the former director announced the bureau would not pursue criminal charges against Hillary Clinton for her handling of classified emails.
Comey has said he would have removed Page from any relevant investigations had he known of her anti-Trump bias.
Why do I have a hard time believing that?
LISA PAGE has resigned! I guess the IG report coming up has her running. https://t.co/OB7JykK0NH

Nobody cares what you have to say, Jim.
P.S. Lisa Page resigned too.
P.S.S. Keep “Rule of Law” out of your vocabulary. https://t.co/Ed7ISbejXV— Jordan Rachel (@TheJordanRachel) May 5, 2018
Lisa Page (Strzok’s texting lover) has resigned from the FBI.
Hmmmm I wonder why she would do that? 🤔
The storm is coming. The swamp is being drained. Stay tuned…

The fact that Lisa Page and Jim Baker resigned today means a lot. They've been told of the evidence against them, and which will be exposed soon
