FBI Fires Peter Strzok -- "Legal Troubles" for Disgraced, Anti-Trump Ex-Agent "Are Far From Over"
Joshua Caplan reports at Breitbart:
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) terminated special agent Peter Strzok on Friday, according to reports. Strzok's attorney, Aitan Goelman, says the firing was ordered by FBI Deputy Director David L. Bowdich, after the department which oversees personal disciplinary matters ruled the disgraced FBI agent would face a "demotion and 60-day suspension."
Strzok was one primary subject in the highly anticipated Justice Department inspector general report released in July on the Justice Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) handling of Hillary Clinton email investigation, which found the now-fired agent possessed a "biased state of mind" and a “willingness to take action” during the probe.
Text messages exchanged between Strzok and then-FBI lawyer and his alleged lover, Lisa Page, showed the now-fired agent disdained Donald Trump's candidacy during the 2016 presidential election.
Among the explosive exchanges, Page sent a text message to Strzok asking "[Trump's] not ever going to become president right? Right?!" Strzok replied, "No. No he won't. We'll stop it."
"Although Strzok is not longer an employee of the FBI, his legal troubles are far from over," according to Breitbart.
