Anti-Trump DOJ official Peter Strzok was reportedly fired from the FBI late last week; ending months of uncertainty surrounding the disgraced FBI agent after his private text messages showed political bias throughout the agency.
“The FBI has fired Agent Peter Strzok, who helped lead the bureau’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election until officials discovered he had been sending anti-Trump texts,” writes the Washington Post.
“Aitan Goelman, Strzok’s lawyer, said FBI Deputy Director David L. Bowdich ordered the firing on Friday — even though the director of the FBI office that normally handles employee discipline had decided Strzok should face only a demotion and 60-day suspension,” adds the author.
“This isn’t the normal process in any way more than name,” Goelman said.
Strzok made national headlines earlier this year when his communications with fellow DOJ official Lisa Page talked of creating an “insurance policy” against a potential Trump administration.
Strzok is a 22-year-veteran at the agency.
