Washington (CNN)Emails obtained by CNN show the FBI agent at the center of a Capitol Hill storm played a key role in a controversial FBI decision that upended Hillary Clinton's campaign just days before the 2016 election: the letter to Congress by then-FBI Director James Comey announcing the bureau was investigating newly discovered Clinton emails.
The new revelation about FBI agent Peter Strzok comes as Republicans accuse him of being sympathetic to Clinton while seeking to undermine Donald Trump during the heat of the 2016 campaign season. Strzok, who co-wrote what appears to be the first draft that formed the basis of the letter Comey sent to Congress, also supported reopening the Clinton investigation once the emails were discovered on disgraced former Rep. Anthony Weiner's laptop, according to a source familiar with Strzok's thinking. The day after Strzok sent his draft to his colleagues, Comey released the letter to Congress, reigniting the email controversy in the final days of the campaign.

CNN actually reporting on Strozk. I guess they are trying to catch their followers up on the real news.
RE-wrote!
I heard this a couple of days ago, featured on CNN.
So now Strozk is a good guy, being rehabilitated.
This had nothing to do with Hill losing. She sucks and blew off key parts of the country because she thought they were in the bag....and they weren’t cool places to visit.
Clinton New Network needs to STFU.
Well ... uhhhhhhh ... I guess ... ahhhhhhhh ... the FBI is ... ummmmmmmmm ... out to get the Clintons and ... uhhhhhh ... will do anything to help Trump ... because ... you know ...
CNN trying to whitewash Strozk.
Swamp gas diversion.
Lisa and Peter got extra time on their hands after delivering the office mail so they fed the story to their pals.
The Bitch set Comey up?
So what? Is CNN trying to say this guy was NOT a Hillary flunkie because he actually did his job once by making a rough draft document?
he tried to run out the clock and postpone it until after the election but his plan didn’t work
CNN is trying to say there is nothing to him being pro- clinton because he was the one the reopened it costing her the election
They re-opened it so no one else would, and so they could re-close it BEFORE THE ELECTION.
Normally an investigation takes a little longer than that.
If another agent got involved... then who knows what happens?
We ALREADY know Strzok edited the draft exonerating hilLIARy before their investigation was complete.
This is just spin before the memo comes out- kind of like “see? he was not biased toward clinton”
He opened it, so he could immediately close it, if anything.
Yep. That’s the new FBI talking point all over the Liberal media today.
CNN?!!!
Well, it’s all fixin’ to hit the fan, so ...
Well, it looks like its being countered by the release of Page/Strozk emails discussing circumvention of the Records Act, communicating in secret. “Everyone else does it” seems to be the drift of the message.
This story is an example of how you tell a huge lie by revealing a small truth.
The FBI sat on the emails for two weeks before Comey kept his promise of informing Congress of new developments. The only reason there was any public disclosure was because both the NY field office of the FBI and the NYPD Special Investigations Unit (which took possession of the Weiner/Abedin laptop in the first place) already knew about the emails, and that fact was leaking all over NYC.
Rudy Giuliani leaked the fact that additional emails were known to exist on FNC.
The the fear of imminent exposure is what motivated the FBI to go public; the Feebs had NO other choice.
True, but the Liberal media doesn’t report that.
This happened after McCabe sat on Weiner’s lap...top for a month.
Strzok was likely asked by Comey / McCabe to write this damage-control crap for them.
It was late October and they were all overconfident that the Beast would win anyway, but they had to do something to appear like they were doing their job. The plan was to sweep it all under the rug a few months into her Thighness’s reign.
Real story is he delayed the investigation for weeks, then rushed to dismiss the new emails when he couldn’t delay any longer.
In the crucial 72 hour news-cycle before the election Comey "cleared" Clinton, in a second whitewash.
