Trump Target, Former FBI Lawyer Lisa Page Speaks Out, Claims Her Own Power

Former FBI lawyer Lisa Page broke her silence over the weekend, speaking to The Daily Beast, after Trump’s melodramatic mocking of her at a recent political rally.

Former FBI lawyer Lisa Page has always maintained that the anti-Trump text messages surfaced between her and FBI agent Peter Strozk on their government phones had no effect on her work handling the Hillary Clinton email case and the Russia investigation.

Justice Department Report Expected to Exonerate Page Fully

A report from the Justice Department due out on December 9 is expected to exonerate Lisa Page fully in her pre-election investigations of Clinton emails and the Russia probe. In spite of Trump’s insistence that the indiscreet texts confirmed his argument that Page is a member of the deep state working to elect Clinton, there is apparently no evidence to support that case. A prior inspector general’s report agreed that the texts “cast a cloud” over Page’s role in the investigation but, after further investigation, also confirmed that Page ran the inquiry by the book.

Trump has added Page to his long list of women he loves to demean. In October 2019, at a political rally in Minneapolis, Trump disgraced himself fully in his mockery of the two FBI officials.

After watching Trump mock her, having a demeaning, fake orgasm on national television, Page decided to break her silence in a Daily Beast interview with Molly Jong-Fast.

“I had stayed quiet for years hoping it would fade away, but instead it got worse,” she says. “It had been so hard not to defend myself, to let people who hate me control the narrative. I decided to take my power back.”

Speaking about her life as a frequent Trump target, Page tells The Daily Beast:

“It’s almost impossible to describe” what it’s like, she told me. “It’s like being punched in the gut. My heart drops to my stomach when I realize he has tweeted about me again. The president of the United States is calling me names to the entire world. He’s demeaning me and my career. It’s sickening.” 

“But it’s also very intimidating because he’s still the president of the United States. And when the president accuses you of treason by name, despite the fact that I know there’s no fathomable way that I have committed any crime at all, let alone treason, he’s still somebody in a position to actually do something about that. To try to further destroy my life. It never goes away or stops, even when he’s not publicly attacking me.”

Asked by Jong-Fast, daughter of feminist icon Erica Jong, if her day-to-day life is impacted by Trump, she responds: “I’m walking down the street or shopping and there’s somebody wearing Trump gear or a MAGA hat, I’ll walk the other way or try to put some distance between us because I’m not looking for conflict. Really, what I wanted most in this world is my life back.”

Jong-Fast’s interview is long and highly informative. Read it NOT behind the paywall at The Daily Beast.

New NY State Atty Gen Letitia James Prepares To Launch Massive Trump Business Investigation

Newly-elected NY Atty Gen Letitia Tish James is ready to take on Trump

Besides Nancy Pelosi, another bad-ass lady boss has entered Trump's sweet dreams.

Newly-elected New York Attorney General Letitia James, has reached out to former US Atty General Loretta Lynch to be part of her transition team, with an eye on bringing in experts for its Trump-related investigations, writes NBC News.

Writing Hillary Women News on FB for 3 yrs. I know well the mountain of dead bodies in Trump's namesake business. And the NY Feds have watched the Trump family since the mid-80s, preferring to monitor his ties to the Russian mob and money-laundering -- leading to numerous arrests -- and not going after Trump himself. Trump was the honey bait, if you will.

When Trump supporters start screaming that this is all Trump hate, it's important to understand that Trump's brazen actions now threaten democracy in America, and so both the feds and state legal entities are moving in on Trump as part of an international network up to no good.

If the Zembla videos out of The Netherlands are correct -- and they have been on everything so far -- the missing piece in the public domain is the relationship of Israel's right wing to Russia. Israel is the one big chess piece not openly on the legal chess board. Not yet. But Russia has courted Israel's right-wing billionaires extensively. Jared Kushner is, of course, a major conduit in the Zembla analysis.

Zembla is the equivalent of '60 Minutes' in the Netherlands.

The Daily Beast writes Thursday that the ‘Russia investigation’ is set to go global. In court filings due to drop in 2019, prosecutors will unveil Middle Eastern countries’ attempts to influence U.S. politics.

Various witnesses affiliated with the Trump campaign have been questioned about their conversations with deeply connected individuals from the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Israel, according to people familiar with the probe. Topics in those meetings ranged from the use of social-media manipulation to help install Trump in the White House to the overthrow of the regime in Iran.

This week has been a blockbuster headache for Trump, with so much breaking news that it’s almost impossible to track all the lawsuits and investigations surround Trump and the Trump family.
