In case you missed it over the weekend, news broke that Special Counsel Robert Mueller removed an FBI agent from his investigation into the 2016 presidential election after the agent sent anti-Trump, pro-Hillary text messages to his girlfriend earlier this year.
The agent has been identified as Peter Strzok, one of the agency’s most experienced and trusted counterintelligence investigators, said the New York Times, which first reported the dismissal.The allegations came to light after the Justice Department’s inspector general started examining Strzok's messages.
“Immediately upon learning of the allegations, the Special Counsel’s Office removed Peter Strzok from the investigation,” Peter Carr, a spokesman for Mueller, confirmed to Fox News.
The messages were sent by Strzok, a married man, to FBI attorney Lisa Page. The two were having an affair.
Strzok also played a large roll in the FBI's criminal investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who was cleared in July 2016 of all potential charges after storing and transmitting top secret, classified information on her personal email server.
"There is evidence they [Clinton and staff] were extremely careless in their handling of classified information," FBI Director James Comey said at the time. "Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. Prosecutors necessarily weigh a number of factors before deciding whether to bring charges."
FBI Director Says No Charges For Hillary Clinton
Because of the clear political conflict, an inspector general investigation into Strzok's handling of the Clinton case has been opened.
Since Comey's July 2016 clearing of Clinton, it's become clear through a series of memos that he planned to exonerate Clinton months before the FBI investigation was complete and long before interviewing her -- the subject of the case.
In summary, Strzok was a main lead on the an investigation into Hillary Clinton, who he supported and Comey wrote her exoneration statement before all of the facts about the case were known.
Add former Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe's connections to the Clintons through his wife's Virginia state senate campaign and one word comes to mind: dirty.
Was strzok the fbi official leading the “we F’r Flynn & we’re gonna F trump next” yell in the office?
Or was it mccabe?
Or both?
Nope. Still on the FBI payroll assigned to HR.
Strzok is still there (FBI) as well.
Another straight shooter.
Gee, no blackmail and/or national security risk issues there, eh?
Good. Frickin'. Gad.
Strzok’s wife is Mellisa hodghan who was just promoted to asst director at the SEC in oct 2016.
Nothing like having your husband make you look like a fool, Eh?
She’s an FBI layer who apparently worked for Andrew McCabe at one point..
What happened this weekend was that Strzok’s relationship with FBI lawyer Lisa Page was exposed. Up until now no one knew there was such a connection between the two.
Agent Strzok committed an unforgivable offense that led to his termination on the Special Counsel’s task force.
He gave President Trump and Trump supporters documented factual proof of anti-Trump bias on the part of the task force staff.
It is okay to be crooked in pursuit of leftist objectives.
It is not okay to get caught and outed doing it.
In saner times a married FBI agent having an affair would bring his Security Clearance into question and he’d likely get booted from the bureau.
Maybe I missed it, but care to take a guess who was one of two FBI agents who interviewed Flynn (as is being reported by Sara Carter)?
A den of Girl Scouts or a pack of llamas
would do a better job of focusing on crime
than the stupid FBI.
Russian collusion?
HOW ABOUT THE MURDERS OF SETH RICH,
DOZENS OF WITNESSES,
AND A SUPREME CT JUSTICE.
"Do you like oak?" The Cleaner
What happened month ago, and where was it reported?
If you had read a little closer you would not have missed this part
The messages were sent by Strzok, a married man, to FBI attorney Lisa Page. The two were having an affair.
I know you meant “meet”, but your spell checker did not catch it because “meat” and “meet” are actual words.
Yeah but obviously these are not sane times, thanks to that arrogant pos former occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
I wonder if he’s related to Dick Houlder ?
He must be, who knows?
