PETER STRZOK FIRED FOR ANTI-TRUMP TEXTS
DC ^ | Aug 13, 2018 | Saagar Enjeti | White House Correspondent

Posted on 08/13/2018 12:12:40 PM PDT by upchuck

FBI agent Peter Strzok has been fired from the FBI for anti-Trump text messages he sent his mistress and colleague Lisa Page during the 2016 presidential election.

“Late Friday afternoon, the Deputy Director of the FBI overruled the FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) and departed from established precedent by firing 21-year FBI veteran Peter Strzok,” his lawyer Aitan Goelman said in a statement.”

Strzok’s text messages to Page revealed significant bias against then candidate Donald Trump and even one in which he pledged “we’ll stop” him from becoming president. Strzok played a central role in the investigation of the Trump 2016 campaign and its alleged ties to the Russian government along with the inquiry into Hillary Clinton’s private email server.

Trump was targeted by the government. That stuff happens in Iran and N. Korea, it’s not supposed to happen here. It does now, and it can happen to anyone not a Democrat.

Two things:

1. If he was fired last Friday, how come we're just now learning about it.

2. From the article:

Well, President Trump, since Strzok ultimately reports to you, why didn't you take care of this when Strozk was fired from Mueller's team?

Can’t be just the texts.. that has been known for a year

That’s the reason the media is assuming and is in every headline

I’m guessing they learned a lot from Lisa Page. Maybe she sang to save herself.

And has anyone seen this reported anywhere?????

His lawyers statement that broke the news doesn’t mention why he was fired and nothing about any texts

The FBI had no comment

They were aware of these emails months ago. They made the Congressmen sit through a venue where he sat and lied and sneered at them. Why did it take so long?

I would bet that Lisa Page sang and sang big and is in the federal witness protection program by now.

Left her guy swinging in the wind.

Of course. They have to make it seem that the man was fired simply because he said bad things about Trump. These people are so corrupt.

Well, President Trump, since Strzok ultimately reports to you, why didn't you take care of this when Strozk was fired from Mueller's team?

Because, as documented by Finley Peter Dunne, politics ain't beanbag.

upchuck, you seem to have a singular lack of understanding how things work inside the beltway.

Not that that's a bad thing, but it does betray a discourteous attitude toward the President's efforts at turning the nation around. It's taken him a year to begin learning how to best manage this leviathan, and it would be nice if some of us would, if even begrudgingly, acknowledge that this isn't a boardroom parlor game.

Should have fired long ago for cheating on his wife.

The old Bureau never tolerated that crap.

We’ll be waiting for those who shitpost daily about AG Sessions to explain why his Deputy took this action which far exceeds the recommendation of the OPR.
