Every day, the dots keep appearing and it's not hard to join them all up... unless those with Trump derangement syndrome have another agenda.

These are the key facts:

The discovery of all those text messages between Strzok and Page, raise serious concerns. The DOJ produced a first tranche of text messages on December 12, 2017, and a second tranche on January 19, 2018. These text messages raise several questions about the FBI's conduct under the Obama Administration and its investigation of classified information on Hillary Clinton’s private email server when she was Secretary of State.

Strzok and Page discussed serving to “protect the country from the menace” of Trump enablers or deplorable's as Clinton labeled them as, and the possibility of an “insurance policy” against the “risk” of a Trump presidency.

The two discussed then U.S Attorney General Loretta Lynch, knowing that Hillary Clinton would not face charges before the FBI had even interviewed Hillary and before her announcement that she would accept Director Comey’s prosecution decision. Let's also not forget Lynch herself, meeting with President Bill Clinton just days earlier on the back of a plane, while it sat on the tarmac in Phoenix, supposedly having a 40 minute chat about "The grandkids".

They wrote about drafting talking points for then Director James Comey because President Obama wants to know everything they were doing. This was a President who said on TV he does not talk to the FBI on pending cases, ever, period, those were his words and yet there is chatter about him wanting to know what they were doing.

The FBI did not use a grand jury to compel testimony and obtain the vast majority of evidence, choosing instead to offer immunity deals to key Clinton people and allow fact witnesses to join key interviews. This softly softly treatment against Hillary Clinton vs. the investigation of Russian Collusion and Trump, is at serious odds, the rule of law and balance of it, has to be equal no matter who the person is.

Strzok and Page also exchanged views about the investigation on possible Russian collusion with the Trump campaign, calling it “unfinished business” and and it being an investigation leading to impeachment, drawing parallels to Watergate.

The text messages raise several important questions that deserve serious public scrutiny

• Whether the extent to which, any personal animus and/or political bias influenced the FBI’s investigation in to Hillary Clinton's FBI Criminal Investigation;

• Whether, and the extent to which, the Obama Department of Justice or White House influenced the FBI’s investigation or had inappropriately and or even illegally intervened (Obstruction of Justice);

• Whether the extent to which, any personal animus and/or political bias influenced the FBI’s actions with respect to President Trump.

Strzok and Page exchanged texts about edits to Director Comey’s statement on Hillary Clinton. Strzok texted, “K. Rybicki just sent another version.” Page responded, “Bill just popped his head in, hopefully to talk to him.” (“Bill” refers to Bill Priestap, Strzok’s boss). Strzok replied, “Hope so. Just left Bill. . . . He changed President to ‘another senior government official.’”

In Comey’s final statement, even the reference to “another senior government official” might have been viewed as too incriminating, and it was removed altogether.

On May 19, 2017, two days after Robert Mueller III was appointed Special Counsel, Strzok and Page discussed the staffing of the Special Counsel investigation. Strzok wrote, “For me, and this case, I personally have a sense of unfinished business. I unleashed it with MYE. Now I need to fix it and finish it.” MYE is a reference to "Mid year exam" FBI code name for Criminal investigation of Hillary Clinton.
