发帖数: 897 | 1 The FBI agent removed from the special counsel investigation into Russian
meddling in the U.S. presidential election lambasted then-presidential
candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and former Attorney General Eric
Holder in texts to an FBI lawyer, as well as his previously reported
negative remarks about President Trump.
Found in the 375 text messages given to Congress by the Justice Department,
senior counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok reportedly called supporters
of Sanders "idiots," as reported Thursday by Wall Street Journal.
Strzok and attorney Lisa Page also panned Holder, who would have once been
their boss at the Justice Department.
During Holder's speech at the Democratic National Convention, Strzok texted,
“Oh God, Holder! Turn it off turn if off!!!"
Republicans have seized on text messages from Strzok insulting Trump as
evidence of political bias in the special counsel probe, from which he has
been removed, as well as the FBI's investigation into Clinton's use of a
private email server while secretary of State.
Strzok called Trump an "utter idiot" and a "loathsome human" in texts the
Justice Department provided to reporters and Congress.
“These text messages prove what we all suspected — high-ranking FBI
officials involved in the Clinton investigation were personally invested in
the outcome of the election and clearly allowed their political opinions to
cloud their judgment,” House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-
Va.) said on Wednesday. |
