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.

It's always bothered me that Flynn supposedly lied to the FBI about something he had no need to lie about.

Was he under oath at the time?

According to Rush on today's show McCabe called Flynn and informed him that 2 agents were coming over and that Flynn assumed that it was part of ongoing training for the transition.

Next thing he knows he's being questioned without his attorney present.

Since the FBI do not record or video interrogations was it "Well, there's 2 of us and we say that you said such and such?

Why didn't Flynn call his attorney?

Comet is a political appointee. Stroll, while political, is a career employee. He can only be fired for cause, as he is protected by Civil Service rules. As was Lois Lerner.

Mueller committed misconduct with Uranium One. Apparently dirty conduct is a way of life with this Mueller clown.

"The FBI belongs to American citizens, not to Peter Strzok and his friends."

Paraphrasing Tucker Carlson tonight.

Apparently from the looks of her, there aren’t a lot of options for philandering men at the FBI.

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.

Rudy Guliani is quoted as saying, “The definition of gross negligence under the law is extreme carelessness. It's the first definition that comes up in the law dictionary. It's the definition the judges give to juries when they charge injuries on gross negligence. Negligence equals carelessness. Gross negligence equals extreme carelessness. So that is a clear, absolutely unassailable violation of 18 United States Code, Section 793, which is not a minor statute. It carries 10 years in prison."

Hillary Clinton's Extreme Carelessness Sure Seems Like a Federal Felony
