“Mike” is Out – Michael P Kortan Quits FBI…
CONSERVATIVE TREEHOUSE ^ | 2/8/2018 | SUNDANCE

Posted on 02/08/2018 4:40:47 PM PST by bitt

Another longtime FBI official quits today. According to Fox News Catherine Herridge reporting, FBI Asst. Director Michael Kortan (aka text message “Mike”), the head of the FBI Public Affairs Office, has announced he is retiring.

Mike Kortan was previously exposed by FBI Agent Peter Strozok as having specific information that the investigation into Hillary Clinton was manipulated by the “small group”. “Mike’s” job was to sell the ruse as a valid investigation.

WASHINGTON – The longtime head of public affairs at the FBI — who was a confidant of former director James Comey — is planning to retire, Fox News has learned.

A notice went out this week for a retirement get-together for Michael Kortan scheduled for Feb. 15. Since 2009, Kortan has served as assistant director for public affairs, an influential job that controlled media access. He also served under former director Robert Mueller, now leading the Russia probe.

The FBI confirmed to Fox News that Kortan is retiring.

It’s unclear whether the retirement was long-planned or in any way precipitated by recent events. The FBI emphasized he was finishing 33 years of service. (read more)

Boy-o-boy this prior Peter Strzok tweet, as read by Bob Goodlatte on January 25th, is striking a nerve:

“Jim”, aka James Baker (FBI Chief Legal Counsel) was removed in January.

“Mike” aka Michael Kortan (FBI Asst. Director Public Affairs) quits today.

“Dave” aka David Laufman (DOJ – National Security Division, Deputy Asst. Attorney General in charge of counterintelligence) quit yesterday.

“Trisha” aka Trish Beth Anderson (Office of Legal Counsel, FBI)

At first, the context behind the September 10th, 2016, message was elusive, however it is now clear.

On September 2nd, 2016, during the (pre-election) apex of the FBI providing the documents behind their investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of her personal email, and the subsequent decision by FBI Director James Comey not to pursue criminal charges therein, the FBI released their investigative files:

I am amazed at the stupidity of criminals sending text messages and cell phone calls implicating themselves in crimes and providing evidence that will be used against them in court. This time the dumb crooks are FBI agents!

Do you think the rank&file are warming up to spill their beans as the corruptos are yanked out by the roots?

They were 100% positive Hillary would win and they’d be protected for the rest of the coup. They had intelligence agencies, half of Congress, 90% of the media, some governors, George Soros, and other assorted crooks.

No one but God could have beat her.
