STRZOK OUT: Peter Strzok FIRED FROM FBI Over Anti-Trump Text Messages

posted by Hannity Staff - 8.13.18

Anti-Trump DOJ official Peter Strzok was reportedly fired from the FBI late last week; ending months of uncertainty surrounding the disgraced FBI agent after his private text messages showed political bias throughout the agency.

“The FBI has fired Agent Peter Strzok, who helped lead the bureau’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election until officials discovered he had been sending anti-Trump texts,” writes the Washington Post.

“Aitan Goelman, Strzok’s lawyer, said FBI Deputy Director David L. Bowdich ordered the firing on Friday — even though the director of the FBI office that normally handles employee discipline had decided Strzok should face only a demotion and 60-day suspension,” adds the author.

“This isn’t the normal process in any way more than name,” Goelman said.

Strzok made national headlines earlier this year when his communications with fellow DOJ official Lisa Page talked of creating an “insurance policy” against a potential Trump administration.

Strzok is a 22-year-veteran at the agency.

'NOT HELPFUL': Secret Email Shows Strzok ‘WORRIED’ About Hillary Probe

posted by Hannity Staff - 4.20.18

Recently released emails show anti-Trump DOJ official Peter Strzok worried that former President Barack Obama’s public comments would impact the public’s perception of the ongoing Hillary email investigation.

According to Fox News, the communications show Strzok was highly concerned that the President’s statement was “not helpful” and warned the White House “there is a line they need to hold.”

“Below not helpful,” Strzok wrote to top FBI counterintelligence official. “Certainly the WH is going to do whatever it wants, but there is a line they need to hold with regard to the appearance of non-interference.”

The emails echo similar comments made in James Comey’s new tell-all book, where the former FBI chief claims Obama “jeopardized” the Hillary probe by making comments that caused many to question the administration’s role in the investigation.

“Contributing to this problem, regrettably, was President Obama. He had jeopardized the Department of Justice’s credibility in the investigation,” writes Comey.

ADAM SCHIFF: ‘I Don’t Know’ If Peter Strzok Should Still be at the FBI

posted by Hannity Staff - 6.18.18

Democratic lawmaker Adam Schiff admitted he wasn’t sure if anti-Trump DOJ official Peter Strzok should still be employed by the FBI this week, saying he acted “inappropriately” but didn’t go so far as to call for his removal from the agency.

Schiff was speaking with MSNBC’s host Chuck Todd on Sunday when he was asked if Peter Strzok “should still be with the FBI at this point?”

“I don’t know,” Schiff fired-back. “I imagine that the Office of Professional Responsibility will have to make that decision.”

“Certainly these text messages are troubling,” the congressman added. “The fact that they were on a work email, the fact that they were co-mingled with emails discussing business, all that’s problematic.”
