The Washington Post reported that a former top FBI official, Peter Strzok, who had been assigned to and then removed from special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s investigation, had “exchanged politically charged texts disparaging [President] Trump and supporting Democrat Hillary Clinton” and that Strzok was “also a key player in the investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server.”

This is a blockbuster revelation, carrying the possibility of shattering public confidence in a number of long-held assumptions about the criminal justice system generally and the FBI and the Justice Department specifically. The Justice Department should appoint a special counsel to investigate Strzok’s actions as soon as possible.
The Strzok report comes on the heels of the widely derided Justice Department investigation into IRS discrimination against conservative groups, including the disposition of allegations against IRS senior official Lois Lerner, and after the wildly erratic behavior of then-FBI Director James Comey during 2016. It also follows the vote to hold then-Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. in contempt of Congress — the first ever against a sitting member of the Cabinet — with 17 Democrats voting in support. Mix into this battering of the Justice Department’s and the FBI reputations the still-murky charges and counter-charges of abuse of “unmasking” powers during the waning days of the Obama era.
As a result, a large swath of responsible center-right observers is demanding a full review of the investigation and prosecution powers wielded by the Obama-era Justice Department and FBI. Former federal prosecutor Andrew C. McCarthy wrote in National Review on Saturday that President Donald Trump should call for a second independent counsel to investigate abuse of the counterintelligence authorities under President Barack Hussein Obama, abuses he suggests were undertaken to protect controversial Iran deal on nuclear weapons.

Hold it! Has Lindsey has a second moment of lucidity?
Or has he seen the handwriting on the wall--that President Trump will prevail over the corrupt, decadent, evil Establishment--and Lindsey's jumping on the Trump Bandwagon?
In either case, it's a good sign.
Or have I missed something?
Nope, he is actively trying to keep the investigation from going beyond the FBI.
McCain, Linda and Flake are for sure involved.
Yep.
IF BURR came out they have seen something that is probably in some of that heavily redacted stuff that I hope POTUS soon declares no longer secret so we as Americans can see the festering sore of the swamp!
NO MORE SPECIAL COUNSELS!
If a 2nd special counsel was appointed today, it would be years before any results would be seen. In the meantime, if the Blue Wave® sweeps the GO-Pee out of Congress, that will be the end of the investigation, which is what the GO-Pee never-Trumpers are hoping for.
Where is his report? Was it given to Rosensessions long ago???
