Maybe try to figure out what happened to those Russians in Siberia! (a photograph of the Yeti!).
Actually, that second thing would make more sense than what he is doing and would actually involve ......... (wait for it) ..... Russia!

UH-OH! Top FBI Investigator Quits Special Counsel Mueller’s Russia Investigation

Top FBI investigator Peter Strzok has quit special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
ABC News reports:
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.
It’s unclear why Strzok stepped away from Mueller’s team of nearly two dozen lawyers, investigators and administrative staff. Strzok, who has spent much of his law enforcement career working counterintelligence cases and has been unanimously praised by government officials who spoke with ABC News, is now working for the FBI’s human resources division.
He is no stranger to complex and controversial investigations.
As chief of the FBI’s counterespionage section last year, he helped oversee the FBI’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server, and he took part in the FBI interview of the Democratic presidential candidate.
Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election is reportedly entering a new phase, with the Special Counsel now looking to interview White House officials.
New York Times reports:
In a sign that the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election will remain a continuing distraction for the White House, the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, is in talks with the West Wing about interviewing current and former senior administration officials, including the recently ousted White House chief of staff, Reince Priebus, according to three people briefed on the discussions.
Mr. Mueller has asked the White House about specific meetings, who attended them and whether there are any notes, transcripts or documents about them, two of the people said. Among the matters Mr. Mueller wants to ask the officials about is President Trump’s decision in May to fire the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, the two people said.
That line of questioning will be important as Mr. Mueller continues to investigate whether Mr. Trump obstructed justice in the dismissal of Mr. Comey.
No interviews have been scheduled, but in recent weeks Mr. Mueller’s investigation has appeared to intensify. Late last month, he took the aggressive step of executing a search warrant at the home of Paul J. Manafort, Mr. Trump’s former campaign chairman, in Alexandria, Va. Legal experts say Mr. Mueller may be trying to put pressure on Mr. Manafort to cooperate with the investigation.
That’s why the press had abandoned the Russia story and are jumping on the racist story. They know nothing is coming of it.
That has been my bet as well.
What do u think it means?
Unjustified middle-of-the-night no-knock raids on innocent citizens tends to infuriate REAL law enforcement agents. They realize it compromises the integrity of the legal system they have spent their lives upholding.
“...abandoned Russia story ...jumping on racist story...”
I totally agree - and I am able to don my tin foil hat to the point where I do not think it an outlandish theory that the violence at the rally was a set up - this is the likely scenario - the antifa were were paid and brought in and the police were told by the demonrat VA governor or mayor to stand down as the demonrats in power were hoping for violence and a lying narrative for the left.
The left has tried this set up many times and this time unfortunately it “worked”. This time an innocent girl was killed and our President who had nothing to do with it whatsoever is being blamed.
I don’t think people understand how desperate and demoralized The Left is right now.
If the hot, new, “Trump KKK” narrative also goes kaput..?
I don’t know what they’ll do.
I think the whole roof might cave in.
They'll pray for a Hurricane, so Trump will have his "Katrina".
Agreed. The Russia thing had no evidence, and no traction with the American people because they smelled a nothingburger. Now it’s on to the racist thing.
Especially when the middle of the night raid produced nothing.
Every time I read an article on the Mueller investigation and see the words “entering a new phase”, I take a drink.
I’m becoming perpetually wasted.
While it is getting somewhat tiresome, every day I awaken to wondering what extremes these bolshevik losers will go. They do not disappoint. A mass suicide would be interesting or running off cliffs into the ocean like lemmings. Lunatics.
The media and the rest of the deep state has been calling grass roots white Americans racist for awhile now. POTUS was called a Nazi/ racist since he was campaigning same with Bannon; a white supremacist. We don’t gaf at this point. Nobody listens to these losers except others in their circle jerk.
I’m astonished at how mad a few dems I know are at this statue/monument issue. None of them can stand POTUS but think he was right to stand up and condemn removing monuments. Most also had no idea this was a movement going on around the country.
I think the dem politicians are just pandering to their black, Muslim, and Hispanic base. That’s all the have left outside of white 20-somethings. These vacuous anti American pig Democrat pols would be for tearing down the Washington monument in DC if they thought it would help get their base show up at the next election. No soul, no principles ...nada.
That’s why logic doesn’t work on them at all.
I am with you 100 percent.
Why did he quit? What did he find out about Hill/Obie/Molesta?
chuckle, chuckle. We hear you.
Don’t get your hopes up.
According to ABC News: “As chief of the FBI’s counterespionage section last year, he helped oversee the FBI’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server, and he took part in the FBI interview of the Democratic presidential candidate.”
With the reopening of the Clinton investigation I believe he would be considered a potential witness, so has just been moved elsewhere.
There's a Kewpie doll with your name on it.
