CNN Reports That Trump-Bashing FBI Agent Strzok Was Responsible for "Softening" Comey's Language on Hillary Emails from "Gross Negligence" (Triggering Criminal Culpability) to "Extremely Careless" (Not So Triggering) And... More

And that's not all he did, either. Check out the second part of Mark Hemingway's tweet:

But wait, there's more:

Also note that the bulk of FBI agents who interviewed Michael Flynn found his answers credible:

This specific charge is surprising because, as a seasoned intelligence officer, Mr. Flynn had to know that the U.S. would be listening to Mr. Kislyak's conversations and have transcripts. CNN reported on Feb. 17 that "the FBI interviewers believed Flynn was cooperative and provided truthful answers," even though he first said sanctions were not discussed and later said he couldn't recall.

A Congressional source also tells us that former FBI director James Comey told the House Intelligence Committee on March 2 that his agents had concluded that Mr. Flynn hadn’t lied but had forgotten what had been discussed. Perhaps the FBI changed its view.

In possibly related news -- I have no idea if the IG even knew about Strzok -- the Inspector General has been investigating charges of politicization of the FBI for eleven months. I didn't know about this. I don't think many people did.

The twitter guy there, in the thread that follows, suggests that it's this IG investigation that prompted Mueller to reassign Strzok, though that is just speculation.

Personally, I expect a whitewash. The Deep State permanent government is the biggest Too Big Too Fail corrupt organization out there.

PS: Jack Straw has been writing about this in the comments all day. I missed those, because I'm under the weather and just putting up posts to fill time between naps.
