FBI agent Peter Strzok, just other former Bureau employee’s, is leaving the agency as the Trump Admin casts out anyone that criticizes the President in any way shape or form…
Trump and other Republicans could been seen as ushering out the Bureau people in attempt to hurt the Robert Mueller Special Prosocutor office investigation….
Stzok joins James Comey and Andrew McCabe in looking for new jobs after years with the Bureau….
The FBI has fired Peter Strzok, the counterintelligence agent who came under fire for sending disparaging text messages about President Trumpand other political figures during the 2016 election.
Strzok’s lawyer, Aitan Goelman, confirmed the firing, which took place on Friday. He blasted the decision in a statement, saying the “Deputy Director of the FBI overruled the FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) and departed from established precedent by firing 21-year FBI veteran Peter Strzok.”
“The decision to fire Special Agent Strzok is not only a departure from typical Bureau practice, but also contradicts Director [Christopher] Wray’s testimony to Congress and his assurances that the FBI intended to follow its regular process in this and all personnel matters,” Goelman said in a statement.
Strzok, a 21-year veteran of the bureau, has faced a barrage of attacks from Trump and Republicans after an internal investigation from the Department of Justice (DOJ) revealed he had sent messages critical of the then-Republican candidate during the 2016 presidential race to then-FBI lawyer Lisa Page. The two were having an extramarital affair at the time.

Anybody notice that Donald J Trump SELDOM actually fires anyone?
James, look carefully at your post above and you’ll see that you’ve superimposed one copy of the story onto another copy of the exact same story.
The superimposition comes after the first copies of these words:
The FBI has fired
and before the seeond copies of these words:
the counterintelligence agent who came under fire for sending disparaging text messages about President Trumpand other political figures during the 2016 election.
Thanks
Fixed?
A crazy busy day so far….
Sorry for the screw-up….
Almost fixed, James (I know how hard it is to untangle these once they weave together).
All you have to do now is to delete the incomplete sentence fragments (or widows) at the very top and very bottom, i.e.
The FBI has fired
and
the counterintelligence agent who came under fire for sending disparaging text messages about President Trumpand other political figures during the 2016 election.
