FBI/HILLARY CLINTON/ROBERT MUELLER/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “FBI agent Peter Strzok, who was sharply criticized by the inspector general last week for sending anti-Trump text messages, has agreed to appear before congressional committees that invite him to testify, his lawyer said in a letter made public Sunday [6-17-18]. Mr. Strzok was the lead agent on the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s inquiry into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server and later served as the top agent on special counsel Robert Mueller’s team. He was removed from Mr. Mueller’s office last year after the inspector general uncovered texts exchanged between Mr. Strzok and Lisa Page, an FBI lawyer, that were disparaging of Donald Trump. They called the future president an ‘idiot’ and a ‘douche.’ The employees were engaged in a romantic relationship and sent thousands of text messages over FBI-issued devices between 2015 and May 2017. The inspector general in a 500-page report issued Thursday concluded that the pair’s text messages ‘cast a cloud’ over the investigation into Mrs. Clinton’s email server and its findings.”
