The special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, removed a top F.B.I. agent this summer 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 had 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.
But Mr. Strzok was reassigned this summer from Mr. Mueller’s investigation to the F.B.I.’s human resources department, where he has been stationed since. The people briefed on the case said the transfer followed the discovery of text messages in which Mr. Strzok and a colleague reacted to news events, like presidential debates, in ways that could appear critical of Mr. Trump.
“Immediately upon learning of the allegations, the special counsel’s office removed Peter Strzok from the investigation,” said a spokesman for the special counsel’s office, Peter Carr.
So pretty cut and dried, right?
And keep in mind that the FBI has dozens of agents, investigators, and prosecutors working on this case.
However Donald Trump smells blood in the water and retweets the following.
BREAKING: top FBI investigator for Mueller--PETER STRZOK--busted sending political text messages bashing Trump & praising Hillary during the 2016 campaign. STRZOK actually LED the Hillary email probe & recommended clearing her; then was tapped to SUPERVISE the Trump Russia probe!— Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) December 2, 2017
And then follows that up this morning with this:Wray needs to clean house. Now we know the politicization even worse than McCabe's ties to McAuliffe/Clinton. It also infected his top investigator PETER STRZOK, who sent texts bashing Trump & praising Hillary during campaign. Strzok led Hillary probe & supervised Trump probe! https://t.co/0y403oeqvX— Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) December 2, 2017
Tainted (no, very dishonest?) FBI “agent’s role in Clinton probe under review.” Led Clinton Email probe. @foxandfriends Clinton money going to wife of another FBI agent in charge.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 3, 2017
After years of Comey, with the phony and dishonest Clinton investigation (and more), running the FBI, its reputation is in Tatters - worst in History! But fear not, we will bring it back to greatness.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 3, 2017
So now the anti-Trump sentiment expressed by one FBI agent indicates that not only is the Mueller case clearly a witch hunt, but that the outcome of the Hillary email case was prejudiced in her favor by his participation.Report: “ANTI-TRUMP FBI AGENT LED CLINTON EMAIL PROBE” Now it all starts to make sense!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 3, 2017
That is quite an impressive leap of logic right there.
It is merely a scrap of truth used to spin a web of lying fiction all in Trump’s favor he is a hero LOL
ReplyDeleteAnother deflection opportunity for the dotard.
ReplyDeleteOf course his stupid base will eat this up.
Trump is shitting in his depends right now. Mueller is maintaining the integrity of this investigation and being transparent while protecting the process. Meanwhile Trump continues to be himself with his continual lying and ,manipulation and intimidation tactics.
What a desperate moron.
He's a moron. The majority of people think he's a moron. Does he realize our system of justice is full of people who have opinons, but act according to law.
ReplyDeleteIs he guaranteeing that everyone in Congress right now intent on looking at emails again has NEVER written an email critical of Hillary.
What a dolt.
He's undoing the department of justice.
DeleteWe live in TRUMP world now.
That supposed "leaders" we elected can sit back and let him is beyond my comprehension.

His sentence structure is pathetic. What a maroon.
ReplyDelete60% of the American people and millions of people in other countries dislike Trump. Gee, it's hard to believe there is only one FBI agent texting their dislike of the orange orangutan.
ReplyDeleteTrump is a total dope.
we've only just begun...

As soon as I read about this agent, I KNEW Trump would use it to his advantage. The agent was incredibly stupid to have done this. Why give Trump any ammunition?? My son works for a branch of the govt that is non-partisan, but has a lot of power. From day one, it was drilled into his head that You Do Not post anything political on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or even private emails. There is never to be even a whiff of partisanship. If President Obama had of been under FBI investigation, I would have been very upset to find that an agent had been writing anything anti-Obama on Facebook. I hate Trump and want him taken down. We all must be squeaky clean in doing it though.
ReplyDeleteFuck, Donald Trump! He's a lying horses ass!
ReplyDeleteBaldwin did another great interpretation of Trump on Saturday Night Live this weekend! He's the best at ridiculing the potus which I'm sure irritates the holy Hell out of Trump!

Well, now I'm confused!
ReplyDeleteSo, we should condemn the entire FBI because of some anti-Trump texts sent out by ONE of their agents who has since been reassigned.
But when a white man with scads of pro-Trump posts on social media takes a gun and shoots a lot of innocent people, that is completely irrelevant?

DeleteBut it’s consistent with his delusions. This isn’t the dementia.
ReplyDeleteIt’s the sociopathic malignant narcissism and 70 years of constant practice. This is what Trump does.
Now his followers believing it. That is a whole other mental disease.
Even if concrete irrefutable facts are uncovered and Muellers case is as tight as it gets, his Deplorables will still believe it is a witchhunt and a set up to take over the country. They will NEVER believe Trump did anything illegal or seditious. Of course, they probably never would have believed it before either.
I swear, just let Trump have a heart attack and die already. We’ll deal with the rest. Foremost would probably preventing the Deplorables from erecting a statue to their Saint Donnie. (Notice how many can’t even spell Reagan?)
Wouldn’t be surprised if they are all anti-tRump! Particularly after the comments and tweets he made about the agency over the past year. tRump should learn to shut the hell up!
