Update: FBI Agent Fired from Mueller's Team, Caught Expressing Anti-Trump, Pro-Hillary Statements with Alleged Mistress, Not Only Interviewed Key Figures in His Hillary Email Investigation, But Also... Michael Flynn

So he interviews Hillary cronies and finds they did nothing wrong.

Then he also interviews Michael Flynn and comes away with a perjury charge.

One could suspect this FBI agent, now removed from Mueller's team for political bias, might have been interested in finding a crime to hit the Trump team with and not so interested in finding evidence of lying among Hillary's minions.

A supervisory special agent who is now under scrutiny after being removed from Robert Mueller’s Special Counsel’s Office for alleged bias against President Trump also oversaw the bureau’s interviews of embattled former National Security advisor Michael Flynn, this reporter has learned. Flynn recently pled guilty to one-count of lying to the FBI last week.

FBI agent Peter Strzok was one of two FBI agents who interviewed Flynn, which took place on Jan. 24, at the White House, said several sources. The other FBI special agent, who interviewed Flynn, is described by sources as a field supervisor in the "Russian Squad, at the FBI's Washington Field Office," according to a former intelligence official, with knowledge of the interview.

Strzok was removed from his role in the Special Counsel’s Office after it was discovered he had made disparaging comments about President Trump in text messages between him and his alleged lover FBI attorney Lisa Page, according to the New York Times and Washington Post, which first reported the stories. Strzok is also under investigation by the Department of Justice Inspector General for his role in Hillary Clinton’s email server and the ongoing investigation into Russia’s election meddling. On Saturday, the House Intelligence Committee’s Chairman Devin Nunes chided the Justice Department and the FBI for not disclosing why Strzok had been removed from the Special Counsel three months ago, according to a statement given by the Chairman.

Read the whole thing. Sara Carter quotes a source saying that Strzok's "allegiance" to Andrew McCabe -- whose wife ran for office as a Democrat and took big money donations from Friend-of-Hillary, Bagman-of-Hillary Terry McAuliffe -- was "unwavering and very well known."

Carter also reports that McCabe called Flynn about the interview, and seems to have misled him about the nature of the interview -- a source claims that Flynn was told the agents were coming to talk about "routine" matters, and it was only in the middle of it that Flynn realized he was being formally interrogated. As he had been misled into thinking it was "routine," he didn't have a lawyer present.
