FBI Blocked Information About Peter Strzok From Its Website
Daily Caller ^ | 12/5/17 | Chuck Ross

Posted on 12/05/2017 4:41:13 PM PST by markomalley

The FBI blocked all information on its website about a top counterterrorism official who was kicked off of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation for sending politically-biased text messages to an FBI lawyer.

“FBI site blocked all the information about him,” reads a Google response to a search conducted of the FBI website for Peter Strzok, the embattled FBI agent.

Google search results for FBI information about Peter Strzok (Retrieved on Dec. 5, 2017)

It was revealed on Saturday that Strzok was removed from Mueller’s team in August after the Department of Justice’s inspector general discovered that he exchanged anti-Trump and pro-Hillary Clinton text messages with his mistress, an FBI lawyer named Lisa Page who also worked on the Mueller team.

Strzok was sent to the FBI’s human resources department. The circumstances of the demotion remained a mystery for several months, with Mueller’s office refusing to provide background information on the personnel move.

The revelation of Strzok’s biased texts is significant because of his central role in both the Russia investigation and the Clinton email probe. As the FBI’s No. 2 counter-terrorism official, Strzok helped start both of the investigations. He also conducted interviews with former national security adviser Michael Flynn in the Russia investigation and with Clinton and several of her top aides in the email inquiry.

It is not known when the FBI blocked information about Strzok on its website. A request for comment submitted to the bureau was not returned.

The Google search for information on Strzok returns one document involving the FBI employee — a May 16, 2016 email in which FBI officials were asked to review a draft of a statement that then-FBI Director James Comey planned to give at the conclusion of the Clinton email investigation.

The FBI published that document on its Freedom of Information Act portal. Strzok was identified on Monday as the FBI official who edited the language in Comey’s so-called exoneration statement. He changed a phrase referring to Clinton’s email actions as “grossly negligent” to “extremely careless.”

The change was significant because gross negligence in the handling of classified information is a federal crime, whereas extreme carelessness is not a legal term.

The FBI has not blocked information for other FBI officials listed in the Comey draft email.

Update: A spokesman for the FBI contacted The Daily Caller after this article was published to say that the bureau did not block information about Strzok from the bureau’s website.

If Trump can fire Comey is there any sane reason for him to not fire Strzok?

I’m with the earlier article, that Mueller committed misconduct by hiding this story while going after Flynn. Stzrok was the leading witness against Flynn.

How can the former Obama FBI Director investigate the Obama FBI? It’s plainly a conflict of interest.

No wonder the FBI doesn’t want to respond to Nunes. These people are as dishonest as the day is long.

So the leading witness against Flynn was exchanging anti-Trump emails with his mistress, who was also on Mueller's team, and he just happens to be the guy who edited Hillary's email investigation results to lead to no prosecution. And Mueller knew about all this in August and didn't tell anyone, and proceeded against Flynn anyway.

No, no corruption here. At this point nobody would believe this den of thieves if they produced an IMAX film of Trump dancing a fandango on Lenin's tomb with a bottle of vodka in either hand.

Time to up the ante. Time to re-open the Clinton email investigations, and see who dives for cover and who gets thrown under the bus.

The SEC may have done the same with Strozk’s wife, Melissa Hodgman. She was appointed in OCt 2016, probably, I guess, after she discovered he was having the affair with Lisa Page and was gonna squeal and run if she didn’t get a payoff??

ANYWAY, no pics on the SEC website — and where her pic is supposed to be, with her bio, all you get is the SEC seal — GO FIGURE!!

No, Trump cannot fire Peter Strzok, or Strokez, or Jack N Meyoff for that matter. Why? Because he does not exist, not before 2016 anyway. I still say Peter Stroker is really Andrew McCabe.

I still cannot find a photo that identifies Peter Strzok with his named caption below.

The goofy guy with the awkward part in his rapidly balding head they keep showing a photo of next to Lurch Mueller is more than likely a Secret Service guy.

Wasn’t Mueller appointed by President Bush?

Strzok is a Polish name. There are only half a dozen people with that last name and they are short, blond looking, and have round faces.

He can do it because he has the RADIOACTIVE SHROUD
of IMPRORIETY from his transfer of US Uranium
to N. Korea AND Iran, all for money to McCabe’s wife,
and others peppered throughout the FBI,
including their spouses and mistresses, and whores, sluts.

FBI = Pizzagate, Uranium for N.Korea AND its coverup

The Deepsters are experts at circling their wagons. The GOPers are experts at circular firing squads.

Wow. It’s just like the old... Soviet Union! Peter Strzok is disappeared.

How does that go? It’s not the crime, it’s the coverup.
