"Strzok headed the FBI's counterespionage division last year and was one of the top officials overseeing the criminal investigation into whether Hillary Clinton mishandled classified information while she was secretary of state. He had previously worked on some of the "most secretive investigations in recent years involving Russian and Chinese espionage," according to the New York Times.
Rangappa noted that the DOJ's Office of the Inspector General (OIG) opened an investigation in January into the FBI's handling of the email probe, including former FBI Director James Comey's decision to announce a new inquiry into her email server 11 days before the election. It is not clear whether Strzok, who supervised elements of the email probe, was caught up in the OIG investigation.
The OIG declined to comment. But their website lists the probe as ongoing."
right, whole thing is crazy. Looks like he and Laufman covered up Hil's crimes for comey, so with Gowdys call for an investigation, maybe he recused or as you say is being investigated himself. we should keep eyes on Laufman too, how would we know if he quits?
I thought I read somewhere that Tillerson said WH was riddled with bugs. one of Muellers' attorneys had called the WH to ask for any docs on 9/11 that they might have. I guess they thought someone was eavesdropping on Oval ofc. Story was not real clear. So maybe it was him calling and shit hit the fan?
I wish I could remember where I read it. It did not say the attorney's name, but that he was part of Mueller's team. So maybe could be one that left. But the article definitely said called for any 9/11 docs. Who knows could be fake news! Never know these days.
he was in charge of interviewing HRC a few days before the first Comey investigation ended, along with a doj lawyer David Laufman. pay attention to Laufman, it might be significant if he is basemented too.

Maybe he's being investigated himself over his part in the handling of the Clinton email investigation.

We're typing over each other but still thinking along the same lines. Laufman is one to watch for sure.
