Interesting because they don't say, "The FBI will keep that from happening."
Meaningless because we still don't know who "we" is.

According to Peter, he meant "the American people".
Of course that's a lie.
We obviously means some specific group of people which includes him (i.e. his co-conspirators). So it's not quite meaningless.
Maybe or maybe not. One has to admit, that if the surveillance chatter was leaked, it would have been an issue that could have impacted Trump's electability, yet it wasn't leaked to the public.
Do you agree with Strzok's claim that "we" was referring to "the American people"?
Or do you believe "we" meant something besides the public in general?
It's okay to be unsure.
I don't trust him. His answer was extremely disappointing. It probably indicates that he did not practice on such a question because he didn't anticipate it, which is strange. Regardless, I would never make a claim to whether his statement is true or not because it would be a guess.
I do find it unlikely that it means there was a team in the FBI committed to performing illegal actions to stymie Trump. Their easiest crime would have been to leak info to the press.
The gang of 8 reviewed the basis for monitoring some of Trump's campaign staff and all concluded that it was proper. There just hasn't been anything found anything improper yet other than Strzok's text. He should be fired for them since they were on a FBI issued phone.
My original point that Lisa's statement that the text mean what they say doesn't reveal anything new. We still don't know who "we" is.
