On Friday, newly-revealed text messages showed that two senior federal law enforcement officials who were key figures in investigations into Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton allegedly conspired to meet with the judge who presided over the case against Michael Flynn.

The judge, Rudolph Contreras, was recused from handling Flynn’s case but only after he accepted a “guilty plea of President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser who was charged with making false statements to federal investigators,” The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway reported.

…

Contreras accepted Flynn’s guilty plea in federal court on December 1, 2017, which was the day before the New York Times revealed that Strzok had been removed from the case by special counsel Robert Mueller for text messages that revealed his extreme bias against the president. The Federalist further notes:

The text messages that show Page and Strzok conspiring to meet with Contreras were originally hidden from Congress. In records provided by DOJ to Congress, the exchanges referencing Contreras, and plans to meet with him under the guise of a cocktail party, were completely redacted by federal law enforcement officials. The exchanges obtained by The Federalistinclude information that was never turned over to Congress.
