New York Times: Mueller Removed Top Agent in Russia Inquiry Over Possible Anti-Trump Texts
WASHINGTON — The special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, removed a top F.B.I. agent this summer from his investigation into Russian election meddling after the Justice Department’s inspector general began examining whether the agent had sent text messages that expressed anti-Trump political views, according to three people briefed on the matter.
The agent, Peter Strzok, is considered one of the most experienced and trusted F.B.I. counterintelligence investigators. He helped lead the investigation into whether Hillary Clinton had mishandled classified information on her private email account, and then played a major role in the investigation into links between President Trump’s campaign and Russia.
But Mr. Strzok was reassigned this summer from Mr. Mueller’s investigation to the F.B.I.’s human resources department, where he has been stationed since. The people briefed on the case said the transfer followed the discovery of text messages in which Mr. Strzok and a colleague reacted to news events, like presidential debates, in ways that could appear critical of Mr. Trump.

WNU Editor: In view of how overwhelmingly slanted Robert Mueller's team of prosecutors are linked with the Democrat Party, the texts that got this FBI agent to be dismissed in this manner must be really over the top. The fact that he also lead the investigation into whether Hillary Clinton had mishandled classified information on her private email account should also be raising alarm bells in the Justice Department right now. Unfortunately .... the politicization of the FBI is nothing new, one only has to look at the case of FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe .... Grassley suggests deputy FBI director may have violated Hatch Act (The Hill).
