An FBI agent working on Mueller’s Russian collusion investigation, who had formerly led investigations into Hillary’s emails, has been caught sending pro-Hillary, anti-Trump text messages…
That’s a big no-no. He’s been removed.
But let’s be honest for a minute… he’s far from the only investigator with a political bias…
FBI agent Peter Strzok was removed from working within special counsel Robert Mueller’s ongoing probe after he was caught sending compromising texts, a new report revealed Saturday.
The deputy head of counterintelligence, who also took lead in the Hillary Clinton email investigation, sent ‘anti-Trump’ messages to a colleague, three related parties told The New York Times in a statement.
It seems another text exchange was discovered during the Clinton email probe between Strzok and FBI attorney Lisa Page – who were said to be romantically involved.
In a report by The Washington Post, the pair exchanged a thread that ‘expressed anti-Trump sentiments and other comments that appeared to favor Clinton,’ an anonymous source revealed.
Yeah, we can TOTALLY trust this guy to be completely unbiased. He’s just searching for truth and justice, right? Nothing to see here.
I’m sure his investigation into the Hillary emails was also suuuuper thorough.
Officials are now reviewing the communications to see if they show evidence of political bias in their work on the cases, a review which could result in a public report.’
His removal from the Russian investigation has been confirmed through Mueller’s spokesman:
Mueller spokesman Peter Carr confirmed Strzok’s leave in a statement to The Hill.
‘Immediately upon learning of the allegations, the Special Counsel’s Office removed Peter Strzok from the investigation,’ Carr said.
‘Lisa Page completed her brief detail and had returned to the FBI weeks before our office was aware of the allegations.’
Given our current political climate, I really don’t trust ANYONE to be able to set their biases aside and conduct a fair and impartial investigation into anything.
It’s a sad state of affairs.
