Bye Bye to High-Level ‘Deep State’ FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok

Another high-level ‘Deep State’ follower has left U.S. government service as anti-Trump FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok was fired Friday afternoon, according to a statement released Monday by Strzok’s attorney Aitan Goelman. The FBI itself has not yet commented on Strzok’s departure after 21 years with the agency.

But clearly one of Hillary Clinton’s most important internal protectors has been run off. During the height of her email investigation it became obvious to political observers that nothing would touch Clinton and stop her campaign for president. Nobody then realized that it would be Clinton’s protectors that would sour her campaign and turn voters away from her.

Strzok was lead FBI investigator into the FBI’s now infamous investigation into presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s controversial email practices while she was U.S. Secretary of State under President Obama and afterwards during her ill-fated run at the presidency. This investigation and how it was conducted remains under investigation by federal Inspector General Michael Horowitz – who heads an independent branch of the U.S. Department of Justice.

There is every reason to believe that the old investigation into Clinton’s emails may be reopened after Horowitz issues his next investigative report at some undetermined point in the future. There is also every reason to think that Strzok may face criminal charges depending on what Horowitz determines and if he recommends any federal indictments against Strzok.

Also under Strzok’s domain were the beginnings of the FBI’s still ongoing probe into alleged collusion between the Trump campaign for president and the Russian government. This investigation was taken over by FBI Special Counsel Robert Mueller after President Trump fired former FBI Director James Comey soon after taking office in 2017.

Undoubtedly Strzok will be next to sign a big money book deal the same as Comey did with his account entitled “A Higher Loyalty.” Comey’s highly denounced book centered around his controversial firing and the events that led up to it and afterwards. Nothing in Comey’s book has had any lasting effect upon President Trump or his administration.

Commenting on his firing Strzok immediately opened a new Twitter account and fired back with this short statement. “Deeply saddened by this decision. It has been an honor to serve my country and work with the fine men and women of the FBI.” Here’s the weird part, he also provided a link to his new crowd funding account on gofundme.com. Oh yeah, he’ll be sniffing around for a book deal.

On Monday President Trump chimed in with several interesting tweets.

“Agent Peter Strzok was just fired from the FBI – finally. The list of bad players in the FBI & DOJ gets longer & longer. Based on the fact that Strzok was in charge of the witch hunt, will it be dropped? It is a total Hoax. No Collusion, No Obstruction – I just fight back!”

And then this one: “Just fired Agent Strzok, formerly of the FBI, as in charge of the Crooked Hillary Clinton sham investigation. It was a total fraud on the American public and should be properly redone!”

And then again with this tweet.

“…..Will the FBI ever recover it’s once stellar reputation, so badly damaged by Comey, McCabe, Peter S and his lover, the lovely Lisa Page, and other top officials now dismissed or fired? So many of the great men and women of the FBI have been hurt by these clowns and losers!”

Speaking of cashing in with a publishing deal “Wacky” Omarosa Newman’s book comes out this week. Omarosa is known for her appearances on Trump’s TV reality show “The Apprentice.” After President Trump took office he hired her as one of his personal advisers. She worked in the White House a few months and was fired by Chief-of-Staff John Kelly, but not before she went around secretly recording conversations inside the White House – a gross violation. She had been a loyal Trump supporter, but now she has changed her tune.

Omarosa got her book deal because more than likely she was told by her publisher the kinds of things they wanted said about Trump in their pursuit to undermine this presidency. She listened and probably with a ghost writer came out with all sorts of “lies” and wild accusations about her White House experience.

A pair of handcuffs on Omarosa’s wrists — while wearing an orange jump suit on the cover of Vogue Magazine would look just great.
