Peter Strzok, a key player in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s original Russia probe, had to be ‘reassigned’ after sending anti-Trump text messages, according to multiple reports.
Strzok was involved in a romantic relationship with FBI lawyer, Lisa Page, according to the Washington Post, and had exchanged text messages “during the Clinton investigation and campaign season in which they expressed anti-Trump sentiments and other comments that appeared to favor Clinton.”
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!

Strzok’s role in the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s email scandal is now being placed under a microscope as a result. The Justice Department’s Office of Inspector General has confirmed that the Mueller aide is being reviewed for his role in the Clinton case, as well as a number of other politically sensitive cases.
The bias seems rather blatant.
Turns out One of those useless FBI agents that interviewed Hillary about her “matter” was actually a partisan hack and a liar. #PeterStrzok https://t.co/KhXumKZdbk

House Republicans, led by Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes, are currently drafting contempt of Congress resolutions against Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray, based on the fact that the DOJ reported Strzok’s removal in August, but never made mention of the anti-Trump messages.
“We now know why Strzok was dismissed, why the FBI and DOJ refused to provide us this explanation, and at least one reason why they previously refused to make [FBI] Deputy Director [Andrew] McCabe available to the Committee for an interview,” Nunes said.
The contempt citations will be drafted should the DOJ and FBI fail to produce any of the outstanding document and witness requests Nunes has made.
The picture of Mueller’s witch hunt has become much clearer after these latest revelations, according to President Trump.

He further addressed the latest controversy …
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.

“By hiding from Congress, and from the American people, documented political bias by a key FBI head investigator for both the Russia collusion probe and the Clinton email investigation, the FBI and DOJ engaged in a willful attempt to thwart Congress’ constitutional oversight responsibility,” Nunes said.
This probe should have been shut down a long, long time ago. There is no impartiality in Mueller’s witch hunt.
