STRZOK NEXT? IG Confirms He’s Investigating Strzok's 'IMPACT' on Russia Probe

posted by Hannity Staff - 6.19.18

The DOJ’s Inspector General Michael Horowitz confirmed Tuesday that his office is investigating whether anti-Trump FBI agent Peter Strzok impacted the agency’s decision to launch the year-long Russia probe.

Horowitz was speaking before the House Oversight and Judiciary Committee when he was asked whether Strzok’s private anti-Trump text messages to a fellow DOJ employee negatively impacted the decision to investigate Russian collusion.

“Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz confirmed Tuesday that he is investigating whether FBI official Peter Strzok’s anti-Trump bias factored into the launch of the bureau’s Russia probe,” writes Fox News.

“It clearly shows a biased state of mind,” Horowitz told Congressional leaders.

The IG’s comments come just days after he released his scathing report; blasting senior DOJ and FBI officials for their “willingness” to engage in anti-Trump operations.

'NOT HELPFUL': Secret Email Shows Strzok ‘WORRIED’ About Hillary Probe

posted by Hannity Staff - 4.20.18

Recently released emails show anti-Trump DOJ official Peter Strzok worried that former President Barack Obama’s public comments would impact the public’s perception of the ongoing Hillary email investigation.

According to Fox News, the communications show Strzok was highly concerned that the President’s statement was “not helpful” and warned the White House “there is a line they need to hold.”

“Below not helpful,” Strzok wrote to top FBI counterintelligence official. “Certainly the WH is going to do whatever it wants, but there is a line they need to hold with regard to the appearance of non-interference.”

The emails echo similar comments made in James Comey’s new tell-all book, where the former FBI chief claims Obama “jeopardized” the Hillary probe by making comments that caused many to question the administration’s role in the investigation.

“Contributing to this problem, regrettably, was President Obama. He had jeopardized the Department of Justice’s credibility in the investigation,” writes Comey.

ADAM SCHIFF: ‘I Don’t Know’ If Peter Strzok Should Still be at the FBI

Democratic lawmaker Adam Schiff admitted he wasn’t sure if anti-Trump DOJ official Peter Strzok should still be employed by the FBI this week, saying he acted “inappropriately” but didn’t go so far as to call for his removal from the agency.

Schiff was speaking with MSNBC’s host Chuck Todd on Sunday when he was asked if Peter Strzok “should still be with the FBI at this point?”

“I don’t know,” Schiff fired-back. “I imagine that the Office of Professional Responsibility will have to make that decision.”

“Certainly these text messages are troubling,” the congressman added. “The fact that they were on a work email, the fact that they were co-mingled with emails discussing business, all that’s problematic.”
