Special counsel's Russia probe loses top FBI investigator

One of the FBI's top investigators, tapped by special counsel Robert Mueller just weeks ago to help lead the probe of Russian meddling in last year's presidential election, has left Mueller’s team, sources tell ABC News.

The recent departure of FBI veteran Peter Strzok is the first known hitch in a secretive probe that by all public accounts is charging full-steam ahead. Just last week, news surfaced that Mueller's team had executed a search warrant at the Virginia home of Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort. And the week before that ABC News confirmed Mueller is now using a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., to collect documents and other evidence.

Rats on a ship? ha ha ha ha ha.

Gee, if this were the Trump White House, we’d be hearing “Oh, the disarray. Mueller can’t keep good people. They obviously can’t find anything....”

There’s a new shiny object for the Left, Charlottesville.

The thing about C’ville is there are collectively hours of video with audio. Equitable statements after the fact cannot be elevated to crimes or evidence of instability. The backlash is building and if the Soros-funded left makes good on their threats of insurrection (NO4), many people who are right now nodding agreement to virtue signal will find themselves and their communities in the battle zone. I’m not certain mouth noises will overcome innate physical markers.

Most of the Antifa are white. They are the very opposite of stealth. Ditto their supporters.

I believe we could see blow back courtesy of many vets who are former Rangers, Seals, other Special Forces. I’ll leave it at that.

“Investigators found that 1,976 megabytes of data were downloaded locally on July 5, 2016. The information was downloaded with a memory key or some other portable storage device. The download operation took 87 seconds — meaning the speed of transfer was 22.7 megabytes per second — “a speed that far exceeds an internet capability for a remote hack,” as Lawrence puts it. What’s more, they say, a transoceanic transfer would have been even slower (Guccifer claimed to be working from Romania).”

I bet he said as he went out the door, “This is crap. I’m outa here.” Maybe he will have to have a heart attack before he can talk to anyone in the press about it.

Interesting since recent reports say this about Strzok:

Yup, looks like I was wrong back in August when I speculated that Strzok was pushing for prosecution of Hillary, and that’s why he was let go. He, as we know now, is a never-Trumper
