Yes, Lisa Page's text messages matter

In the summer of 2016, FBI agent Peter Strzok began working on the bureau’s inquiry into Russia’s 2016 election meddling after concluding an investigation into Hillary Clinton’s misuse of confidential information on a private email server.

It was about this time that Strzok began venting his frustration to FBI lawyer Lisa Page. The two had been involved in an extramarital affair and sent thousands of messages back and forth over the course of a year, messages that have been the subject of an internal review into how the FBI handled its investigation into Clinton and whether political bias tainted its investigation into Russia and President Trump’s 2016 campaign.
