Three of the five FBI employees dinged for anti-Trump bias in IG report ended up on Mueller probe

Three of the five FBI employees dinged for anti-Trump bias in the inspector general’s report ended up on the special counsel’s investigation into Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, raising still more questions about the team Robert Mueller assembled.

Two of those — FBI lawyer Lisa Page and her paramour, agent Peter Strzok — became known when their vehemently anti-Trump text messages came to light. But the inspector general’s report identifies a third person, labeled “FBI Attorney 2,” who also fired off messages denigrating Mr. Trump and saying, “Viva le resistance.”

None of the three is still on the special counsel’s team. Ms. Page left weeks after the investigation opened, and Mr. Strzok departed after a couple of months when his anti-Trump messages came to light. Attorney 2, identified by Rep. Mark Meadows this week as Kevin Clinesmith, was ousted from the investigation in February after the inspector general found his messages.

Mr. Clinesmith also sent co-workers political jokes about Mr. Trump, including one instant message after the election saying, “I am so stressed about what I could have done differently.”

According to the report, Mr. Clinesmith worked on the 2016 probe into Hillary Clinton’s email use, then worked on the FBI’s original investigation into the Trump campaign and, eventually, with the special counsel’s investigation into Mr. Trump’s presidential campaign.

Why do we even bother to vote? God bless the defeat of Hillary. Had she been successful, the swamp would have been undefinable.

All should be locked up. Comey should be also charged with misappropriation of funds . since he is the one that got Mueller and wasted millions of dollars and counting. This proves also Mueller is involved head deep and should be charged also in this conspiracy and is a lousy investigator by putting Lawyers / agents on his biased team.

So apparently Hillary thought she had covered her tracks and the 'fix' was in with the assistance of corrupt FBI and DOJ leaders*.

*I really don't want to think of them as leaders....more like traitors, including Hillary and Obama.

Mueller's bias is rising to the top quickly and showing his corrected investigation for what it is. A WITCH HUNT.
