WASHINGTON — The special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, removed a top F.B.I. agent from his investigation into Russian election meddling after the Justice Department’s inspector general began examining whether the agent had sent text messages that expressed anti-Trump political views, according to three people briefed on the matter.

The agent, Peter Strzok, is considered one of the most experienced and trusted F.B.I. counterintelligence investigators. He helped lead the investigation into whether Hillary Clinton mishandled classified information on her private email account, and then played a major role in the investigation into links between President Trump’s campaign and Russia.

Whoooooaaaa! Great observation on GPS locators on Hillary and McCain. McCain even flubbed which foot was “injured”, and strangely enough, was adult enough to vote yes on the tax bill last night.

[Mr Apple]

Thank you for the ping.

No question,problem is when you deal with Hillary the links to this and that are endless. It would take an army of Tom Fittons to get the job done.

For sure inviting yet another Pinocchio moment for the old geezer....

Anyone — Freepers included— who thinks that this Mueller investigation has some secret plan to vere toward the Clintons has lost their mind.

We’ve had three Tump associates arrested and charged on minor misdeeds — NO Clinton campaign associates. Trump associates seem to be the only ones being interviewed — NO Clinton campaign associates.

Now we find out as part of this Peter Strzok dismissal that Nunes has been chasing him to testify for months, and is ready to file contempt charges against the DOJ — including (surprise) Rod Rosenstein.

Jeff Sessions is a worthless piece of s**t for starting this mess, and even more worthless for not pursuing the real collusion culprits.

Well that all depends on whether or not you think Hillary and McCain were arrested and are wearing ankle bracelets under neath their Christian Dior booties.

Also, did you think that Pres.Trump was more than happy to allow Mueller to go after him and his administration so that he could ultimately be impeached? Or did you think Trump may have had something else in mind?

My bet is for something else in mind.!

I have no idea what Sessions is doing or not doing. My guess is that he was one of the few who stood by Trump during the campaign when everyone was deserting him. In the process Trump is known to have said 'Sessions can have any job he wants.' He took AT.Gen.

Are there others out there who could do the job better? Most likely.Trump rewards those who stand by him. He's the real deal.

So now we’re to believe that Mueller and his investigation are towers of integrity? This is baloney. Everybody’s biased. Everybody has opinions. The only legitimate questions are, how the investigation has been conducted, and did it reach a final conclusion that is supported by the facts?
