The FBI Finally Makes Peter Strzok Redundant
2018-08-13
Finally got around to it, did they? At a minimum, I hope this smirking jagoff loses his pension.
[Fox News] - FBI official Peter Strzok, who played a lead role in both the Russian meddling and Hillary Clinton email probes but became a political lightning rod after the revelation of anti-Trump text messages, has been fired.

Strzok attorney Aitan Goelman said in a statement Monday that his client, a 21-year FBI veteran, was fired Friday afternoon, claiming this was a departure from standard practice and politically motivated. Goelman said the bureau’s deputy director "overruled" the FBI's Office of Professional Responsibility.

"This decision should be deeply troubling to all Americans," the attorney said.
Not this one.

Consider it a non-essential personnel furlough in the pre-budget impasse period.

Huh? I can understand being pressured into be a turncoat, but why would anger make her into a turncoat? Did someone try to pin something on her?

#7  His receiving a pension and no legal consequences for attempting to undermine a national election are indeed deeply troubling.

Not to mention plenty of time before they kicked him out that he could use to destroy documents, collude with friends, and anything else that could benefit either himself or the Deep State.

Scorned FBI Lover Lisa Page Torched Cheating FBI Partner Peter Strzok; “Lisa is on a Warpath

“Lisa is on a warpath,” one former colleague said. “She is not done either.”

Fired FBI leaders Andrew McCabe, James Comey and other current FBI leaders like Bill Priestap could be on deck, according to officials familiar with Page’s congressional testimony in hearings and private sessions with her attorney.

Strzok, FBI sources said, is the target of several investigations.

You mean like firing the entire White House travel staff to fill it with patronage jobs seekers?
