"A former FBI agent who worked with Strzok on and off over several years in the bureau's counterintelligence division said that Strzok's move to HR means he has now been separated from counterintelligence work altogether.
The FBI sometimes parks agents in the human resources department, the agent explained, when they need to be reassigned quickly away from substantive matters and there's no other place to put them."
Also:
"Strzok headed the FBI's counterespionage division and was one of the top officials overseeing the criminal investigation into whether Hillary Clinton mishandled classified information while she was secretary of state."
very strange. On the surface it sounds like a total demotion to be moved to HR and you'd think he would just quit but maybe the FBI is planning to fire a lot of people? Or hire them?
I wonder whether he's become a witness instead of an investigator--and not necessarily in the Russia investigation. I'm thinking a Hillary investigation.

Is this why Mueller's top lawyer quit? What a mind game going on. Hannity should be thrashed if he doesn't produce.
Edit: Story somewhere that Mueller is losing traction, that DNC and others are losing hope he'll do, or find, anything. Duh.

It really sounds like the lawyer, Peter Strzok, didn't quit but instead was suddenly reassigned to Human Resources. https://au.finance.yahoo.com/news/top-fbi-investigator-unexpectedly-stepped-095626425.html
