Special counsel's Russia probe loses top FBI investigator
ABC News ^ | August 16, 2017 | MIKE LEVINE

Posted on 08/16/2017 11:49:38 AM PDT by PJ-Comix

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.

I suspect that is what happened. And I like the article’s rundown of how it is otherwise going just swimmingly. I read their coverage as, “They’re really making progress. They’ve checked between the couch cushions AND behind the toilet!”

Big deal.

This may point to just how bad a witch hunt & fishing expedition is going on, but the problem is they will just get a more pliable “top investigator” to do their dirty work.

“...a secretive probe ...”

When this results in NOTHING, which it will, I think all associated with this WASTE of time and resources deserve some PROBING!

Maybe he’s thinking this is bogus. I didn’t sign up for this...

Russia is so yesterday.

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

Seems like a good defense witness if it comes to that?

Thanks to the internet, we don’t have to wait for the Lord’s return for that to be so. ;)

Forensics shows that the DNC computer was NOT hacked from the outside. Instead somebody downloaded from the inside onto flash drive. How do they know? The bitrate of retrieval was much too fast to have happened via an outside hack. Even leftwing magazines The Nation and Slate have admitted to this recently.

At the end:

A real slueth.

yes, that would be my guess!

I’m just worried about who replaces him that is willing to go along with the b.s.

Yes, he probably got bored to death, or was being asked to read, and then create, “between the lines” on everything he touched, to the point that he knew the investigation is a sham.

I don’t know why my browser keeps doing duplicate posts! I re-booted my laptop but it is still happening.

Giving Russia our uranium, not a problem.

Not finding any proof that anything happened at Russia’s initiative, a very big problem.

Muller and his team have probably made sure this guy is on a non-disclosure agreement. Would love to hear this guy come out and actually tell the truth.

If this person worked for Trump we’d never hear the end of it.

Your statement is correct.

But, as I recall, the bitrate in question was something like 25 Mbps. If so, that seems like a perfectly valid download speed to me.

What am I missing?
