Trump-Hating FBI Agent Fired From Mueller Probe is Key Figure in Fusion GPS Dossier Scandal
Gateway Pundit ^ | December 3, 2017 | Joshua Caplan

Posted on 12/03/2017 12:40:30 PM PST by Golden Eagle

In yet another blow to Mueller’s investigation into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, the special counsel was forced to fire a top FBI agent after possible anti-Trump text messages were discovered.

Reacting to Strzok’s ‘anti-Trump,’ texts, House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) said, “We now know why Strzok was dismissed, why the FBI and DOJ refused to provide us this explanation, and at least one reason why they previously refused to make [FBI] Deputy Director [Andrew] McCabe available to the Committee for an interview.”

Strzok (also) played a key role in analyzing the infamous ‘Trump dossier,’ supplied by shady research firm Fusion GPS. The now disgraced FBI agent used disproven elements of the dossier to spy on members of the Trump campaign.

Fox News’ James Rosen also reveals Strzok played a key role in agreeing to pay ex-MI6 agent Christopher Steele $50,000 to find evidence to further support the dossier’s explosive claims. FBI officials were uncomfortable with the validity of Steele’s findings, yet they moved forward with FISA surveillance anyways.

This guy was Comey and McCabe's main fixer, that Mueller wanted to utilize as well. They'll need to find some charges or he'll just plead the 5th.

So Strozk clears Hillary, then goes on to use the dossier her campaign funded (and which is clearly written in a juvenile, unconvincing manner) to go after Trump. The dossier is relied on by the FBI in obtaining the FISA warrant. Strozk then is active in Mueller’s investigation and clearly indicates his bias against Trump in pushing Mueller and his twelve lawyers (seven of whom are not only Clinton supporters, but Clinton contributors) to go after Trump and (wouldn’t it be interesting if those emails were handed over to Congress, which supposedly has oversight over this rogue federal agency??). One of those twelve lawyers is listed as one “Lisa Page” whom Strozk supposedly exchanged anti-Trump emails with; how odd, isn’t it? Why would anyone outside the Clinton campaign trust a word Mueller or his cohorts said?? Tainted, and irrevocably tainted prosecution.

I stated in another post that if these messages exchanged and this guy is dirty then they may be THE smoking gun. I;ve stated for a while that maybe Mueller is weeding out these guys for Trump. If this guy is dirty he may be the downfall of the entire Obama/Clinton cabal. Mueller was stung by Obama during his time at The FBI in 2009 with the U1 deal. No one but Mueller knows where all the bones are buried.

So now we find out that the agent, who is on the record as being anti-Trump, was involved in the fake dossier disparaging Trump, and which has been shown to be a fabrication.

Can the corruption get any deeper?

I think it was actually Comey and McCabe at the top doing those deeds. This guy was just the bagman they were using.

Who seriously believes there is anyone on Mueller’s staff that doesn’t hate Trump?

Is Lisa Page, the lawyer, the ex girlfriend of this FBI clown? Was she a former FBI lawyer? Connect the dots for us.

It seems like among other things, aside from concealing and OBSTRUPtING their partisanship and inneptitude, the lurch like jackass Mueller was trying to hide jackass Stzrok’s extramarital affair with the other jackass agent from Strzok’s wife, by spacing the demotion and firing a month apart.

Hey- maybe Strzok can convince his wife that it’sjust a vast right wing conspiracy..

My, what tangled Clintonian webs these arrogant idiots weave..

Execute a “Manafort Raid” on Strozk’s house. And Lisa Page’s house.

Well, I guess we know at least one thing that Mueller and Comey discussed inter highly unethical and probably illegal private meeting after Mueller was appointed special prosecutor.

Gotta make sure you line up guys with the right experience to get the job done.

To me, the most important angle of this story is that this guy was apparently involved in the Hillary Clinton e-mail investigation. Comey's conduct in that investigation was documented explicitly by Sessions and Rosenstein as the reason for his termination.

This guy Stzrok is basically going to end up as Trump's airtight defense that there was no "obstruction of justice" in Comey's firing.

Nowhere in the article does it talk about Fusion GPS.

There used to be a lot of Freepers who claimed that Trump hired Mueller and they were working together in secret to actually target Clinton, but I think we're down to just a couple that still post here regularly. If you want to see them in action, check out Jeff Coates (@drawandstrike) on Twitter who they rally around, a person who has admitted he voted for CIA operative Evan McMullin for President.

It’s all becoming clear.
The FBI and DOJ has been completely corrupted.
And Sessions is sleeping thru it all.

Mueller was Comey’s best bud; I can’t imagine he would be doing anything Comey would disagree with. As far as Fusion GPS not being involved, they were the outfit paid by Hillary’s lawyers that commissioned the “dossier” upon which the FBI and Storzk relied; so yes, Fusion GPS is connected to Storzk.

^This.

If you have 100% BIASED prosecutors/ investigators, who we now *know* are dirty, how do we trust anything they conjure up?

I bet if anyone digs, they'll find more unprofessional and illegal behavior on Mueller's staff.

I would think enough to call it at minimum fruit of the poison tree, and "unclean hands".

That doesn't go over too well when it goes to court.

. Think how many people have gone to jail over the years based on prosecutors/DAs withholding exculpatory evidence, or using dodgy evidence.
