FBI agent Peter Strzok escorted from building amid internal review

Source: The Hill

FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok was escorted from the building amid an internal review of his conduct, his lawyer confirmed Tuesday.

Strzok, who had a central role in the FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server while serving as secretary of State, was reportedly escorted from the FBI building on Friday amid an internal review of his conduct.

"Pete has steadfastly played by the rules and respected the process, and yet he continues to be the target of unfounded personal attacks, political games and inappropriate information leaks," his attorney Aitan Goelman said in a statement.

The FBI agent became the subject of ire among President Trump and conservatives after it was discovered that he had exchanged private text messages with former FBI lawyer Lisa Page that disparaged Trump and other political figures.

Not so fast. He is being used by Trump to bash the FBI. This strikes me as more theater in that line Bernardo de La Paz Jun 2018 #7

Reserve your ire for the real villains in the case: Rudy Giuliani's rogue cabal out of the NY FBI office and the NYPD.

Strzok is not among those. I think he was trying to do a proper job but was rather stupid about letting his pro-Hillary feeling show on record (texts) between him and his lover.

It was so serious, every one of them now has damning records of emails, texts, and instant messaging during the time they were investigating her emails!

This alone tells me how much absolute bullshit this entire process has been as an exercise in mollifying conservative Republican propaganda targeting all things "Clinton."

EVERYBODY does what Hillary did! It's 'Standard Operating Procedure.'


A presidential campaign conspiring with foreign agents to influence the outcome of the election? Now, that MATTERS!

There was no reason not to play this clean. These idiots and their sophomoric behavior are going to let Trump walk.

We will meet at Check Point Charlie and trade Manafort and Cohen for McCabe and Strzok.
