Top FBI Investigator Leaves Russia Probe

A top FBI investigator has stepped away from the Russia Probe.

A highly experienced FBI investigator and former army officer hired by special counsel Robert Mueller to examine Russia's interference in the 2016 election has unexpectedly stepped away from the probe, ABC News reported on Wednesday.

Here is an interesting insight into the matter

Peter Strzok, a veteran counterintelligence investigator, is now working for the FBI's human resources division, according to ABC. It is unclear why he stepped aside, or if he did so voluntarily. Asha Rangappa, a former FBI counterintelligence agent and associate dean at Yale Law School, said that she had "never heard of an agent being moved to the human resources department."

Hmmm, it sounds like the investigator might not have been "cooperating".
Or maybe he saw the probe was a witch hunt?

I see trouble down the road for Mueller and this probe....
there are lots of possibilities....

Some developing stories that could tie into this are that
The FBI has reopened the probe into The Tarmac meeting;
Ukraine has opened a Criminal Probe into the DNC
Election Interference colluding with Ukraine officials.

It's heating up all around!

Maybe he was a leaker.

You don't put someone like that on assignment then change their minds to make them do trivel work.

Something is rotten.

Could be, though likely that would have resulted in
being let go, that would be a serious offence.

it will make for some interesting conspiracy theories for a while

Maybe it wasn't such a "serious" violation, but serious enough to send his a$$ to HR, temporarily, where he can't do much damage.

Just a thought.

That is my take on it too.
Seriously rotten.

or maybe he was trying to sabotage it. or maybe he's having a health crisis so they put him on something else.

there's literally no info here to go on.

Conspiracy theories about a conspiracy theory,
Since the most serious thing to date is some did not
register for a FARA.

Somebody must have threatened (or "promised") to expose some dirty little secrets !!

Caught and cut !!

a reply to: windword

Any which way you turn it,
it doesn't look good for the "probe".

Maybe he found collusion, just on the wrong person?

maybe he's in the personal dept. digging through personal files, looking for the russain agents in the fbi??
heck who knows....

Peter Strzok

the name sounds a little russian dont it?

Just my 2 cents:

Maybe,just maybe, there's something in the personnell records that's of interest to the investigation.
Not likely, but it could happen (insert butt-jumping flying monkey comment here).

Found this!

According to CNN, Mueller tapped FBI section chief Peter Strzok to manage the probe. Strzok was one of two U.S. officials who interviewed Clinton on July 2 as part of the federal investigation into classified information found on her private

The plot thickens!

And this too!

Strzok was the agent that reviewed the Abedin Weiner emails

archive NYT article

Day, Mr. Strzok and his team had 3,000 emails left to review. That night, they ordered pizza and dug in. At about 2 a.m., Mr. Strzok wrote an email to Mr. Comey and scheduled it to send at 6 a.m. They were finished. A few hours later, Mr. Strzok and his team were back in Mr. Comey’s conference room for a final briefing: Only about 3,000 emails had been potentially work-related. A dozen or so email chains contained classified information, but the F.B.I. had already seen it.

a reply to: dawnstar I agree he did not get along with others well; but really is he looking for all the leakers and who worked where and for who? The swamp is a terrible place where they have to have leverage on you to be in the club and beholden to somebody. Just not the American people.

need to work on my bye-line For all those who do not turn away may his grace live with you.

Peter Strzok probably felt that the Witch Hunt was squandering his talents. He was as sick of pursuing it, as Americans are of hearing about it.

Ummm...So basically this Strzok fellow was instrumental in undermining the Clinton E-mail debacle...Then...he goes on to instigate the Russian collusion narrative...Then he becomes the lead in the Mueller side show...

Hmmm...curiouser and curiouser...

Edit to add: One wonders if the investigation steered itself in his direction...hence the sudden departure...
