New revelations about anti-Trump texts as Deputy AG faces hot seat on FBI, Russia probe
Developing now, Thursday, Dec. 14, 2017:
Watchdog group reveals how FBI agents' anti-Trump texts came to light – while Deputy AG Rod
Rosenstein gets grilled on Capitol Hill Republican Roy Moore posts a YouTube video,
refusing to concede defeat in Alabama's Senate election
Congressional Republicans reach a deal on tax reform, clearing the way for a final vote
Tavis Smiley rips PBS after network suspends distribution of his show following allegations
of sexual misconduct THE LEAD STORY: The anti-Trump texts between
two former members of Robert Mueller's team investigating Russian interference in the
2016 presidential election first surfaced after a Justice Department watchdog requested
messages from the government-issued phones of several FBI employees involved in the Hillary
Clinton email investigation ... Peter Strzok, a former deputy to the assistant director
for counterintelligence at the FBI, played a key role in the email probe, changing former
FBI Director James Comey's early draft language about Clinton's actions from "grossly negligent"
to "extremely careless" and conducting the FBI interview of Clinton over the July 4 weekend
in 2016.
According to DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, "politically oriented" text messages
between Strzok and Lisa Page were found in his office's initial search.
That led to the watchdog requesting all messages between the two through the end of November
2016.
Those messages were produced by the FBI on July 20 of this year and Mueller and Rosenstein
were informed about them a week later, on July 27.

NOT GIVING UP: Republican Roy Moore is still not conceding defeat after Democrat Doug Jones
claimed victory in Alabama's special election for a U.S. Senate seat ... In a video posted
to YouTube on Wednesday night, Moore says his campaign is still waiting for the election
results to be certified by the Alabama secretary of state.
Moore notes that military and provisional ballots remained to be counted, and laments
that the race was "tainted by over $50 million from outside groups who want to retain power
and their corrupt ideology."
Election results showed that Jones defeated Moore by 49.9 percent to 48.4 percent.

TAX CUTS FOR CHRISTMAS?: House and Senate GOP leaders have forged an agreement on a
sweeping overhaul of the nation's tax laws, paving the way for final votes next week to
slash taxes for businesses, give many Americans modest cuts and deliver President Trump's
first major legislative accomplishment ... Top GOP aides, speaking on the condition of anonymity,
said lawmakers had reached an agreement in principle on the final package.
The broad parameters of the deal call for cutting the top tax rate for the wealthy from
39.6 percent to 37 percent, slashing the corporate rate to 21 percent and allowing homeowners
to deduct interest on the first $750,000 of a new mortgage.
One congressional aide said the deal was contingent on whether late changes to the bill still
complied with budget rules adopted by both the House and the Senate.

'BIASED AND SLOPPY': Tavis Smiley, the longtime talk show host, blasted PBS for its "so-called
investigation" into his alleged sexual misconduct ... Smiley, whose nightly program has aired
on PBS since 2004, flatly denied PBS's accusations that he had behaved inappropriately in the
workplace.
Variety reported that the allegations involved sexual misconduct with co-workers.
Smiley said on Facebook he had "never groped, coerced, or exposed myself inappropriately
to any workplace colleague in my entire broadcast career, covering 6 networks over 30 years,"
adding for emphasis: "Never.
Ever.
Never."
