“Mike” is Out – Michael P Kortan Quits FBI…
CONSERVATIVE TREEHOUSE ^ | 2/8/2018 | SUNDANCE

Posted on 02/08/2018 4:40:47 PM PST by bitt

Another longtime FBI official quits today. According to Fox News Catherine Herridge reporting, FBI Asst. Director Michael Kortan (aka text message “Mike”), the head of the FBI Public Affairs Office, has announced he is retiring.

Mike Kortan was previously exposed by FBI Agent Peter Strozok as having specific information that the investigation into Hillary Clinton was manipulated by the “small group”. “Mike’s” job was to sell the ruse as a valid investigation.

WASHINGTON – The longtime head of public affairs at the FBI — who was a confidant of former director James Comey — is planning to retire, Fox News has learned.

A notice went out this week for a retirement get-together for Michael Kortan scheduled for Feb. 15. Since 2009, Kortan has served as assistant director for public affairs, an influential job that controlled media access. He also served under former director Robert Mueller, now leading the Russia probe.

The FBI confirmed to Fox News that Kortan is retiring.

It’s unclear whether the retirement was long-planned or in any way precipitated by recent events. The FBI emphasized he was finishing 33 years of service. (read more)

Boy-o-boy this prior Peter Strzok tweet, as read by Bob Goodlatte on January 25th, is striking a nerve:

Time for him to get a clue.

Oh for god's sake, you think President Trump is clueless about this? You're the one pooping your Pampers here. He seems to be fairly well satisfied with most of the progress being made. Maybe he knows something you don't.

Can’t help but believe these rats jumping ship are making a huge mistake ... you leave the FBI and you are just Citizen Zero, with no chance of free legal, or any claim of privilege ... thusly, anyone leaving the FBI should be handed a subpoena on the way out, because if you abruptly leave a Derp State org that possesses some limited ability to shield you, you done f’d up ...

"At first, the context behind the September 10th, 2016, message was elusive, however it is now clear...the FBI providing the documents behind their investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of her personal email, and the subsequent decision by FBI Director James Comey not to pursue criminal charges therein, the FBI released their investigative files."

There it is. Comey rolled the dice (backed to the hilt by the "FBInsurance" squad) ... and Cankles lost ... and they lost. And now they're being escorted out of the Sedition Casino, one by one...

Congress will eventually appropriate money for a wall... a defensive wall around DC.

The scandal is worse than people ralized. The good news is that the closet will be cleaned out, and I actually believe that the Republic stands a chance of surviviving. The only two candidates that the Deep State feared were Cruz and Trump. Cruz mistaked his way out, which left Trump - their worst nightmare. Imagine how much damage would have been done if Hillary had of won...

What needs to be exposed next is why were all these higher ups so damn certain she was going to win.


That was likely a fair assumption until James O’Keefe wrecked the last-minute machine vote fraud by terrorizing Bob Creamer and his minion ilk. FBI didn’t know he was stinging them.

I guess you tend to get a little cocky when you think you’re above the law and Hitlery is going to take care of you.

Boo hoo.
