Mueller's Top FBI Agent Probing Clinton Emails, Russian-Collusion "Removed" After Anti-Trump Texts Found

Special Counsel Robert Mueller's top FBI investigator into 'Russian meddling' and Clinton emails has been removed from the probereportedly due to the discovery of anti-Trump text messages exchanged with a colleague (whom he happened to be having an extra-marital affair with).

FBI veteran, Peter Strzok, considered "one of the most experienced and trusted FBI counterintel investigators" according to the NYT, and who was tapped by Mueller to help lead the probe of Russian meddling in last year's presidential election, after helping lead the investigation into whether Hillary Clinton mishandled classified information on her private email account, has left Mueller's team.

As ABC reported in August, when Strzok's departure was first noticed, this was the first known hitch in a secretive probe that, by all public accounts, is charging full steam ahead. ABC reported that it was unclear why Strzok stepped away from Mueller's team of nearly two dozen lawyers, investigators and administrative staffers. Strzok, who had spent much of his law enforcement career working counterintelligence cases and has been unanimously praised by government officials who spoke with ABC News, was moved the FBI's human resources division. The move prompted many questions about why one of the FBI's top investigators was being reassigned.

Since Hillary is tied to the Russians reopen up her investigations and see what Mueller des since he is supposed to be an independent counsel.

This guy needs to be fired.

You can bet your bottom dollar that Muller didn't remove him because of this, he removed him because it would taint the case and it is all being kept quiet.

I have no idea why the Hell this President hasn't stopped this investigation. Obama would have and no one would have questioned it.

Mueller removing him to prevent tainting the cade is the EXACT right thing to do. What dont you people get about the fact that Trump is commander and chief. These are his law enforcement officials invrstigating and they are the ones finding evidence of wrong doing by Trump affiliates

So how are Hillary and Bubba doing with saving the children with the $149 million that Russia gave them?

They are the real mobsters of DC.
