Peter Strzok, a key player in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s original Russia probe, had to be ‘reassigned’ after sending anti-Trump text messages we learned recently.
Now those messages have been made public and it’s fairly easy to see why he was removed. In fact, it’s quite clear that he should never have been part of the investigation from the get-go.
Strzok was involved in a romantic relationship with FBI lawyer, Lisa Page, and had exchanged text messages that “expressed anti-Trump sentiments” and involved “other comments that appeared to favor (Hillary) Clinton.”
The Justice Department released 375 messages between Strzok and Page that repeatedly mocked the man who would be President.
Here is one such example …

Other messages show Strzok referring to Trump as a “douche” and a “f***ing idiot.”
“I am riled up,” Strzok said in one message on the night of the final presidential debate. “Trump is a f**king idiot, is unable to provide a coherent answer. I can’t pull away. What the f**k happened to our country??!?!”
“I don’t know. But we’ll get it back. We’re America. We rock.” Ms. Page replied.
Aside from demonstrating that the anti-Trump couple talked to each other like a pair of obnoxious grade schoolers, the messages show a palpable bias for somebody who would later take part in the investigation of supposed Russian collusion.
Lisa Page & Peter Strzok text messages about Melanie Trump’s speach & calling Donald Trump a f**king idiot.

Strzok is also being reviewed for his role in the Clinton e-mail case, including being the agent who changed former FBI Director James Comey’s description of her actions from “grossly negligent” to “extremely careless.”
A significant change from a term that constitutes a crime, to one that does not.
In another exchange in July, Strzok texted, “Omg. You listening to npr? Apparently Melania’s speech had passages lifted from Michele Obama’s…. unbelievable.”
“NO WAY!” Page responded.
“God, it’s just a two-bit organization. I do so hope his disorganization comes to bite him hard in November,” Mueller’s former team member replied.
“It HAS to right? Right?! Panicked,” Page replied.
They then did each other’s hair and stayed up all night in their PJs talking about boys.
