Text messages between an FBI agent and a lawyer on special counsel Robert Mueller's team investigating alleged ties between Russian officials and President Donald Trump's campaign suggest they both knew the outcome of the Hillary Clinton email probe in advance. The Justice Department on Friday turned over to Congress nearly 400 pages of text messages sent between FBI investigator Peter Strzok and lawyer Lisa Page. In the messages, sent July 1, 2016, Page and Strzok discussed then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch's decision to accept the FBI's conclusion in the Clinton investigation. Last month, the Justice Department released hundreds of text messages Page and Strzok had exchanged before becoming part of Mueller's team of investigators. Many of those messages were about the 2016 election and their personal thoughts on Clinton and Trump.
