Ex-FBI agent: Attacks from Trump ‘outrageous’ and ‘cruel’ [Strzok]
Dissociated Press ^ | September 5, 2020 | Eric Tucker

Posted on 09/05/2020 9:20:32 AM PDT by Olog-hai

Peter Strzok spent his FBI career hunting Russian and Chinese spies, but after news broke of derogatory text messages he had sent about President Donald Trump, he came to feel like he was the one being hunted.

There were menacing phone calls and messages from strangers, and anxious peeks out window shades before his family would leave the house. FBI security experts advised him of best practices — walk around your car before entering, watch for unfamiliar vehicles in your neighborhood — more commonly associated with mob targets looking to elude detection.

“Being subjected to outrageous attacks up to and including by the president himself, which are full of lies and mischaracterizations and just crude and cruel, is horrible,” Strzok told The Associated Press in an interview. “There’s no way around it.”

A new book by Strzok traces his arc from veteran counterintelligence agent to the man who came to embody Trump’s public scorn of FBI and his characterization of its Russia investigation as a “witch hunt.” The texts cost Strzok his job and drew vitriol from Trump. But even among Trump critics, Strzok isn’t a hero. His anti-Trump texts on a government phone to an FBI lawyer gave Trump and his supporters a major opening to undercut the bureau’s credibility right as it was conducting one of the most consequential investigations in its history.

Trump’s attacks have continued even as two inspector general reports found no evidence Strzok’s work in the investigations were tainted by political bias and multiple probes have affirmed the Russia probe’s validity. …

Wow, no less than two IG reports. Time to drain the IG swamp, eh?

Funny how Strzok can’t say that anything is false.

Yes. Please ignore the fact Strzok talked about being able to smell the Trump supporters at Walmart. He had no political bias whatsoever. Not a bit.

Yeah, in the phone book (whatever that is) he would be listed as strozk, peter. Which I guess he has to do since lisa is out of the picture. Or is she. What an insipid POS.

Today, Strzok is teaching at Georgetown University and watching from the outside for election interference from Russia, which he warns had information it did not use in 2016.

“I can’t talk in a lot of detail about that,” he added, “but I do think they returned those arrows to their quiver and made them better for this year.”

Oh.....good, he’s moved on to indoctrination.

He's got a book coming out.And the Ass-ociated Press is giving him free publicity. I think they call that “symbiotic”.

These IG's are a joke.They have not credibility whatsoever.

They try to give an outward appearance of being impartial, but they have proved to be working for the corrupt establishment, and particularly biased toward the extreme left wing.

All their "reports" minimize the crimes committed, protects the key top level players in the crimes, and whitewash the very corrupt behavior.

They work to deflect and deflate the anger of the public.

“A new book by Strzok”

The poor man has been emotionally crippled.

Maybe he can find a job suited to his talents.....like being a weasel.

Peter Strzok spent his FBI career hunting Russian and Chinese spies,

I’ve now read literally 1000 of his texts. The thing that’s obvious to me is that he is a life-time bureaucratic climber and DC swamp rat. He spends all his time discussing who said what, who met with whom, what some boss said, what the Washington Post said, who participated in meetings and who didn’t. He’s like a high school cheerleader gossiping in the lunch room.

With his focus entirely on the FBI and DC bureaucratic-power hierarchy, I can’t believe he spend any time “hunting spies."

Maybe “hunting” really means “collaborating with”.

Wonder how Lisa would feel if a pretty female Chinese spy from Peter’s past shows up . . .

What there's no way around, Strzok, is your treason.
