"It's not surprising that these people would hate pro-lifers so much that they would want to abuse their authority to cancel the March for Life," Operation Rescue President Tony Newman told LifeSiteNews.

(Washington, DC)-[LifeSiteNews.com] Text messages recently released between FBI agent Peter Strzok and his mistress FBI attorney Lisa Page—both of whom are anti-Trump—reveal them saying that they "hate" pro-lifers and wanted to find an excuse to cancel the 2016 March for Life in Washington, DC.

"It's not surprising that these people would hate pro-lifers so much that they would want to abuse their authority to cancel the March for Life," Operation Rescue President Tony Newman told LifeSiteNews. "Given their extreme political bias against those who hold pro-life views, one can only expect them to stoop to criminal conduct."

Strzok and Page were reportedly carrying on a two-year extramarital affair, and texted each other frequently (Strzok is married to Melissa Hodgman; Page to Peter Burrow). The Senate investigation found at least 50,000 messages the couple shared.

The texts, along with many cursing and disparaging President Trump and other conservative values, has led to concerns over bias on the part of the one-time lead investigator under Special Counsel Robert Mueller...
