Mueller aide fired for anti-Trump texts now facing review for role in Clinton email probe
Fox News ^ | Dec. 3, 2017 | James Rosen, Jake Gibson

Posted on 12/03/2017 8:47:21 AM PST by libstripper

EXCLUSIVE – Two senior Justice Department officials have confirmed to Fox News that the department's Office of Inspector General is reviewing the role played in the Hillary Clinton email investigation by Peter Strzok, a former deputy director for counterintelligence at the FBI who was removed from the staff of Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III earlier this year, after Mueller learned that Strzok had exchanged anti-Trump texts with a colleague.

A source close to the matter said the OIG probe, which will examine Strzok's roles in a number of other politically sensitive cases, should be completed by "very early next year."

The task will be exceedingly complex, given Strzok's consequential portfolio. He participated in the FBI's fateful interview with Hillary Clinton on July 2, 2016 – just days before then-FBI Director James Comey announced he was declining to recommend prosecution of Mrs. Clinton in connection with her use, as secretary of state, of a private email server.

Looks like Strzok is the rotten apple at the core of the Clintonoid, DOJ, FBI barrel, a barrel that must be upended, flushed, and cleaned out with a flame thrower.

I wonder how the OIG learned of this. Did an aggrieved spouse(s) drop dime? (Anachronistic expression, I know...)

He was having an extramarital affair with a lawyer on the team. So he was a big security risk and subject for blackmail.

so, if you are on on Mueller’s team, it’s ok to be a Hillary backer as long as your anti-Trump messages don’t come to light ?
Got it !

There was a bunch of people on here last week declaring Mueller was a covert Trump associate. If true, it seems odd Mueller would put together an investigation team with such biased investigators against Trump on his team who are anything but impartial.

Incorrect. The core was Obama, filtered through Holder/Lynch/Comey. EVERYONE was sold on the idea that Clinton was inevitable so that thinking is what gave them free reign.

All the others are just slime bit players hoping to hitch a ride on the corrupt train. This guy Strzok will be the first to turn over on the whole mess, if he has not already. He will not get the full consequences but he will serve time.

The Page woman is in further peril as is McCabe to a further extent. Maybe the reason it seems nothing is being done at the DOJ is that all the worker bees are in full CYA mode instead of investigating.

Some brief bio info on Mueller’s team. I saw one reference that said Lisa Page had worked for Andrew McCabe, too.

Is Page the one he was having an affair with? So far, I haven’t seen a name mentioned. But the damning text messages were to a female FBI attorney that was involved in an extramarital affair with Strzok.

There is no Peter Strzok.

Peter Strzok is Andrew McCabe

So far it looks like we’ve got them all in one bag.
