A huge bombshell report shows just how deep corruption runs in Washington D.C. During an interview with the Judiciary Committee, former FBI lawyer Lisa Page told a joint congressional task force that President Barack Obama’s Justice Department was biased and it was trying to take down President Trump’s campaign.

The President tweeted about the revelation.
The just revealed FBI Agent Lisa Page transcripts make the Obama Justice Department look exactly like it was, a broken and corrupt machine. Hopefully, justice will finally be served. Much more to come!

Transcripts also show that the department rejected the idea of bringing espionage charges against Hillary Clinton.
From the Washington Examiner:
Rep. Doug Collins, R-Ga., this week released 370 pages of transcripts of testimony that took place over two days in July last year. The transcript shows that Page testified that some wanted to throw espionage charges against Hillary Clinton, but that the Justice Department rejected that plan.
“The American people deserve to know what transpired in the highest echelons of the FBI during that tumultuous time for the bureau,” Collins said in a statement.
Page and another FBI employee, Peter Strzok, came under scrutiny last year when it was revealed text messages they exchanged showed anti-Trump bias. The duo worked on the Clinton email investigation.
