Mark Meadows: US ambassadors conspired with DOJ - to take down Trump Posted: Mar 19th, 2019 - 6:30 am
Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., hinted Monday the coming release of documents that will "show" U.S. ambassadors conspired with the FBI and the Justice Department to harm President Trump.
“It's additional information that is coming out that will show not only was there no collusion, but there was a coordinated effort to take this president down,” Meadows told Fox News’ Sean Hannity. “We talk about the 'Deep State.' There are players now, even ambassadors, that are sitting ambassadors that were involved in part of this with the FBI-DOJ.”
Meadows did not name any ambassadors.
“As we look at this, it's time to show that we show the American people what's out there, declassify some of those documents,” added Meadows, a member of the House Oversight Committee. “I think when the American people see what I've seen, they will judge for themselves and know that this has all been a hoax.”
Earlier this month, House Judiciary Committee ranking member Doug Collins, R-Ga., began to release transcripts of private testimony provided to a task force of the House Judiciary and Oversight committees as part of their investigation into potential bias in the Justice Department and FBI.
He first released DOJ official Bruce Ohr’s testimony from August 2018, and later released transcripts from former FBI officials Lisa Page and Peter Strzok. Ohr acted as an unofficial backchannel between the FBI and the author of the so-called Trump dossier, while Strzok and Page attracted scrutiny after it was revealed in 2017 they were involved in an extramarital affair and exchanged text messages critical of President Trump.
Strzok and Page also worked for special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, which is examining Russian interference and whether the Trump campaign colluded with the Kremlin. Strzok was removed from the investigation after the texts were found and was later fired by the FBI. Page also left the Mueller team following the controversy and departed the FBI.
“As I have said before, I believe the American people deserve transparency, and deserve to know what transpired in the highest echelons of the FBI during that tumultuous time for the bureau,” Collins said after releasing Strzok’s testimony last week.
