Report: DOJ Officials Pouring over More than 10 000 Strzok Texts After Discovering Anti
Peter Strzok
Fox News reports that the department is going through âseveral monthsâ of text messages from former counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok to FBI attorney Lisa Page  whom he had an affair with.
When the inspector general notified Muellerâs office  the FBI removed  Strzok  from the Russia probe and demoted  him  to a position in the FBIâs human resources department.
The disclosure of  Strzok âs political leanings raised questions from critics about the objectivity of Muellerâs investigation.
 Strzok  had been selected in July 2016 to oversee the Russia probe and was also one of the top investigators of the probe into Hillary Clintonâs emails and use of a private server.  He  interviewed Clinton and her aides about the server  which contained classified material.
 Strzok  was also responsible for creating the statement former FBI Director James Comey delivered on July 5  2016  clearing Clinton of all criminal charges.
Several members of the House Intelligence Committee expressed interest in reviewing Strzokâs text messages and emails after the Justice Department completes their investigation. The committee also wants to find out what impact  he  had on the Clinton investigation and why  he  questioned Flynn.
