“A former senior Trump administration official said Strzok was even-handed in all of his dealing with the Trump White House. “I had the occasion to work closely with Special Agent Peter Strzok and never experienced even a hint of political bias. He was one of the most competent (counterintelligence) agents, and a role model,” the official said. “The country is tearing itself apart, and men like Pete Strzok are victims. The enemy is better off with him sidelined.””

The above was likely PULLED OUT OF THIN AIR, so as to ‘balance’ the article. There is no way the above can be true, given the texts he sent.

How do we know that this guy wasn’t anti-Trump enough and will be replaced by a more zealous “investigator”?

[Williams]

I want to see the anti trump and pro Hillary emails that this Partisan left Winger Sent out before being fired. You have to have Manure for brains to be the top investigator of both Hillary and trump And to be writing partisan diatribes at the same Time totally unprofessional and frightening.

[Paladin2]

Is it legal for the FBI to lie to America?

[Lockbox]

Explains why Hillary got a pass and they’re all gung ho to investigate Trump.

[laconic]

Yes, and these biased FBI bums relied on the ‘dossier” as their basis for the investigation. The Steele “dossier” was created by a British socialist who was funded by the Clinton campaign; since when is the FBI as an impartial agency relying on a pathetic “research” document that looks like it was written by a little kid and paid for by one of the two presidential candidates to slam her opponent? What has been going on here, and is THAT why the FBI has been very uncooperative in providing congressional investigative committees with information demanded on the dossier?

And this is why the FBI House must be cleaned out.

So this immoral political hack has been one of Mueller's right hand men for the last four months of this investigation? These swamp rats have gone way over the line. Mueller should in no way be involved in this investigation with all his conflicts -- especially with his Uranium One connections.

“Wray has yet to make many significant changes at the top. But a major house cleaning by the new director is widely anticipated inside the bureau.”

Wray needs to get on with it! For starters, McCabe needs to go.

With the office of "special counsel," Congress stupidly created a Praetorian Guard and handed their own power to the deep-state.

I had a history teacher who taught us kids that stayed awake during his class that America was a republican form of government and compared her to the times when Rome too was a based upon (little "r")republican ideas but descended into dictatorship after lead by succeedingly corrupt emperors and an equally corrupt or inept Senate.

I see we are just about to enter our post-republican era

(See, Mr. Williams, I did stay awake during third period!)

[TXBlair]

Collusion seems to be everywhere except where the dims say it is.

[Brilliant]

Their mistake was they put it in writing.

[neverevergiveup]

I honestly could never trust the judgement or integrity of anyone who still thinks Hillary Clinton should have any job in government and isn't a criminal. Hillary is an indefensible person.

Warning Conspiracy theory:
Qanon has been suggesting that Mueller is a US Marine first that follows the Military code and a partisan hack second.

Not saying Qanon is real. Just pointing out the obvious.

[Monorprise]

This is a smoke screen to give Mueller more creditably, the face it Mueller still hired mostly democrat lawyers, and Mueller himself is implicated in some of the ‘cases’ he’s allegedly investigating, or rather not investigating.
IE: Uranium one.

Mueller needs to be removed if this is to be taken seriously as an honest investigation. Someone who isn’t implicated in the Clinton colution cases Uranium one needs to be incharge.

To quote Shel Silverstein, “Who’s keeping time with the timekeeper’s wife while the timekeeper’s out keeping time?”

>> “ Congress stupidly created a Praetorian Guard and handed their own power to the deep-state.” <<

What power might that be?

All of congress’ power is legislative. They have no power to prosecute anything.

The legislation creating special counsel is long expired.

Mueller is working under the authority of the President, not congress.

>> “It’s unclear why Strzok left.” <<

To spend more time with his family of course!

Everybody knows that.

How about pointing out that Robert Mueller was appointed only after he met with Trump.

With the office of "special counsel," Congress stupidly created a Praetorian Guard and handed their own power to the deep-state.

Congress is a part of the deep-state and of the ones that are not they are probably being blackmailed by the deep-state.
