FBI Releases Peter Strzok's Termination Letter, 3933

Good afternoon, I’m still reporting on the coup.

After more than 4 years, the FBI has finally released the blistering termination letter of Peter Strzok, one of the FBI’s head facilitators of the coup plot against Donald Trump.

Strzok was, the Deputy Assistant Director of the Counterintelligence Division. Before that, Strzok led the FBI’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a personal email server from, and, of course, no charges were ever brought against Clinton.

According to his Wikipedia entry, it was Strzok who:
“… changed the description of Clinton’s actions from "grossly negligent", which could be a criminal offense, to "extremely careless".

This one action by Strzok allowed Clinton to escape all accountability for her bathroom server scam, which may have been a drop box for Chinese espionage agents to pick up stolen classified documents.

In June and July 2017, Strzok worked on Robert Mueller's Special Counsel investigation into any links or coordination between Donald Trump's presidential campaign and the Russian government. Mueller removed Strzok from the Russia investigation after text message exchanges between Strzok and his lover, FBI lawyer Lisa Page, contained criticisms of Trump and his supporters.

Among those text messages between Strzok and Page, was one which is little discussed. That’s when Lisa Page emailed Strzok not to forget his meeting at his secret society that night. I wrote a nice report on that, but, unfortunately, that was among the 4,000 YouTube videos of ours that YouTube wiped out about 13 months ago.

In his 2-page termination letter, FBI Deputy Director David Bowdich wrote:

August 8, 2018

Dear Mr. Strzok,

"I have reviewed the decision of Assistant Director, Office of Professional Responsibility following your appeal which proposed a 60-day suspension and demotion.

“Your sustained pattern of bad judgment in the use of an FBI device…”

Hmm, I wonder what that device was?

“ … has called into question for many [your decisions] made during both the Clinton email investigation and the initial stage of the Russian collusion investigation. In short, your repeated selfishness [has] called into question the credibility of the entire FBI.

“As I considered all the known facts associated with the adjudication of your case it was difficult to imagine another incident like yours which brought so much discredit to the organization.

“In my 23 years of the FBI, I have not seen a more impactful series of missteps which called into question the entire organization and more thoroughly damaged the reputation of the organization.

“In our role as FBI employers we sometimes make unpopular decisions, but the public should be able to examine our work and not have to question our motives.

“I when I strip away all the noise, I am left with the facts and extremely damaging impact to the organization, which will take years to overcome.

“As Deputy Assistant Director you were expected to be a leader who was beyond reproach and set an example for not only our direct subordinates, but others throughout the organization who watched and observed your behaviors and actions.

“You failed to do so repeatedly and put your own interests above the interest of the organization. Although it pains me to do so, it is for this reason that I am dismissing you from the roles of the FBI.”

Former Agent Strzok’s behavior epitomizes the arrogance of smart-ass know-it-alls in positions of power, an arrogance which is the heart of every would-be political dictator.

Unfortunately, 4 years down the line, there have been no criminal consequences for Strzok and as every agent learns early on in his training at the FBI Academy, with out consequences, similar criminal behavior, especially that which is on public display, will continue to grow unabated. That’s at the heart of the meaning of the rule of law.

I’m still reporting from the citadel of world freedom. Good day.
