‘Trump was right’ about ginned-up Russia probe, FBI text messages show

“Trump was right,” an FBI agent declared shortly after the then-president-elect suggested that officials delayed a White House transition briefing on Russian meddling in the 2016 election because they needed time “to build a case.”

The bombshell admission is contained in a text message exchange that took place on Jan. 5, 2017, and was among several that lawyers for former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn said were turned over to them late Thursday night.

During the conversation on the FBI’s “Lync” messaging system, unidentified employees discussed a briefing that day of then-President Barack Obama, according to the court filing.

“What’s the word on how O’s briefing went,” one fed asked.
“Dont know but people here are scrambling for info to support certain things and its a mad house,” another wrote.
