The release of FBI agent Peter Strzoks text messages has touched off a partisan debate in Washington over whether his anti-Trump and pro-Hillary Clinton comments undermine his work on the Clinton email as well as the Russia investigation being conducted by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
Republicans argue that Strzoks texts, which he exchanged last year with Lisa Page, his mistress who also worked on the Mueller team, mar his work on both of those investigations. Democrats are downplaying the exchanges and accusing Republicans of hyping texts in order to protect Trump from Mueller.
Strzoks texts do show that he made politically-charged comments right in the midst of his work leading both the Clinton and Russia investigations. Here is a definitive timeline of his investigative work, the text messages, and developments in both the Clinton email and Trump collusion investigations:
July 10, 2015 FBI opens the Clinton email investigation in response to a referral from the Intelligence Community Inspector General.
Feb. 27, 2016 Strzok interviews Jake Sullivan, a former Clinton State Department aide and adviser to her campaign.
March 2 Asked by Page who he planned to vote for, Strzok replied: I suppose Hillary.

According to the hearing I watched, the FBI invited reporters in ahead of the hearing and apparently revealed all the text exchanges for all to see, much to the chagrin of many committee members. Rosenstein said something to the effect that the release was deemed okay.
July 2 Strzok and Justice Department lawyer David Laufman interview Hillary Clinton.
google david laufman doj
you’d think he would know better
maybe he was a dummy/patsy promoted to be the hit guy and take the fall if/when it went south...
When I was a kid growing up in Chicago shortly after the telephone was invented, there was one “Stiff, Peter” on p. 1848 of the telephone directory! All us kids knew about it. I remember the important things.

My guess: Srzok, along with a lot of the Klintoon/0vomit crowd, thought the fix was in and that with Hitlery in the WH they would be protected. They thought those texts and emails would never see the light of day.
“The U.S. Department of Justice has named an experienced former federal prosecutor to oversee its counterespionage efforts, part of a broad restructuring of the national security prosecution team to deal with cyber attacks and the threat of sensitive technology ending up in the wrong hands.
David Laufman will become chief of the counterespionage section of the Justice Departments national security division, according to an internal announcement viewed by Reuters. He starts his new job on Monday.
Laufman, who also worked as a CIA analyst in the 1980s, a congressional investigator in the 1990s and a senior Justice Department official at the beginning of the George W. Bush administration in the early 2000s, joins the agency from private practice.
Bush nominated Laufman in 2006 to serve as the inspector general of the Defense Department, but Laufman withdrew his candidacy amid concerns from Democratic Senator Carl Levin about his independence.”
Strzok and Laufman are like two peas in a pod. Funny that Cernovich would finger him as an anti-Trump leaker, given that Levin thought he wouldn't be "independent."
i would like to know about his “export control” work-uranium 1?
