FBI official Peter Strzok has made plenty of headlines over the last year, this one could have the swamp in a major disarray.
Strzok’s attorney announced Strzok is willing to testify before Congress “to clear his name.”
“Special Agent Strzok, who has been fully cooperative with the [Department of Justice] Office of Inspector General, intends to voluntarily appear and testify before your committee and any other Congressional committee that invites him,” one of Strzok’s lawyers, Aitan Goelman, sent House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte in a letter.
As noted by The Daily Caller:
Goodlatte on Friday informed Democrats on the Judiciary committee of his plans to subpoena Strzok to testify before the panel about his role in both the Hillary Clinton email investigation and the Trump-Russia probe.As the FBI’s deputy chief of counterintelligence, Strzok was the bureau’s lead investigator on “Crossfire Hurricane,” the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign.He was also one of the top investigators on the Hillary Clinton email probe.Strzok worked on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team until last July. He was removed from the investigation after the Justice Department’s inspector general discovered anti-Trump text messages that Strzok exchanged with FBI attorney Lisa Page.
The Inspector General’s report exposed Strzok’s anti-Trump texts he sent to his lover Lisa Page.
One of the texts which wasn’t released over the last year was a major dagger in any credibility at the FBI.
“[Trump’s] not ever going to become president, right? Right?!” Lisa Page asked Strzok.
“No. No he’s not. We’ll stop it,” Strzok adamantly stated.
However, despite the clear intent and political agenda, the FBI Director Christopher Wray stated there was no political views that swayed the investigation.
Yet he still went ahead and ordered anti-bias training for the FBI. Makes total sense, right?
President Trump blasted Strzok on Twitter on Sunday, “Why was the FBI’s sick loser, Peter Strzok, working on the totally discredited Mueller team of 13 Angry & Conflicted Democrats, when Strzok was giving Crooked Hillary a free pass yet telling his lover, lawyer Lisa Page, that “we’ll stop” Trump from becoming President? Witch Hunt!”
