DOJ Official Who Was Supposed to Interview Hillary Clinton In the Email Investigation, But Seems To Have Had a Nice Friendly Quilting Bee Instead, Steps Down, Citing "Personal Reasons"

If you believe he's stepping down solely due to personal reasons, I have a bridge to sell you kompromat about.

David Laufman, who leads the DOJ's counterintelligence division, is leaving the DOJ for “personal reasons,” according to The Washington Post.

In addition to working on the investigation into Clinton’s handling of classified information, Laufman has also worked on the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.

On the Clinton investigation, he sat in on interviews with the former secretary of state and several of her aides, including Cheryl Mills, Huma Abedin and Jake Sullivan.

Peter Strzok of all people got annoyed with Laufman for just sitting in on these "big interviews" -- I think Strzok means that he wasn't doing the gruntwork needed to clear Hillary Clinton, but was instead just doing the easy part, talking with Hillary Clinton about grandchildren and Yoga Routines. But I can't be sure.

Meanwhile, new texts seem to indicate that Peter Strzok violated security protocols in using a cell phone in a SCIF -- the whole point of a SCIF being that it's entirely cut off from the digital-cybernetic world. Bringing a cell phone into a SCIF now brings cyberintrusion right into the place built to lock out all cyberintrusion, yet Strzok texted that "We're here in Jims SCIF," which seems likely a reference to Jim Baker, the former FBI General Counsel and a close ally of, get this, James "The Prophet" Comey.

One point in his favor -- he apparently finds Chelsea Clinton to be "awful," "entitled," lacking in any authenticity, and suffering a "[billy] goat tic" in speaking.
