Most of us who follow the Russia Hoax have been wondering why Peter Strzok was still working at the FBI. Even weeks after the inspector general exposed his bias during the Clinton and Trump investigations he remained on the payroll. And to all but a few people that may be blind and deaf it was obvious that he lied to Congress – much in the same way that he lied to his wife (according to Rep. Louie Gohmert).
So today, at long last,The FBI has fired Agent Peter Strzok. It happened, without a doubt, because of his text messages showing animus toward President Trump and his amity toward Hillary Clinton.
According to Strzok’s lawyer, the deputy director ordered his dismissal last week.
Strzok — who served in the agency for over two decades — is best known for his roles in the Clinton email investigation and the Russia probe.
He was removed from the Russia investigation after the inspector general found him to had been exchanging anti-Trump messages with FBI lawyer Lisa Page, who he was also having an affair with.

Among the most infamous messages sent to Page from Peter Strzok fired during the election, Strzok vowed to stop then-candidate Trump from becoming president.
Additionally, in his report the inspector general noted Strzok showed a “willingness” to hamper candidate Trump’s election chances.
In a series of fiery tweets Monday, President Trump weighed in on the firing of the ousted special agent, saying the list of bad players in the FBI and DOJ is getting longer and longer.
He also questioned if the Russia probe would now be dropped since Strzok was a main player in the investigation. A tree so poisoned could not possibly produce useful fruit.
Agent Peter Strzok was just fired from the FBI – finally. The list of bad players in the FBI & DOJ gets longer & longer. Based on the fact that Strzok was in charge of the Witch Hunt, will it be dropped? It is a total Hoax. No Collusion, No Obstruction – I just fight back!

President Trump, once again, called the Mueller investigation a total hoax and said there was no collusion or obstruction.
Separately, the president also said Strzok was in charge of the Clinton email probe and suggested that the case should be reopened.
Just fired Agent Strzok, formerly of the FBI, was in charge of the Crooked Hillary Clinton sham investigation. It was a total fraud on the American public and should be properly redone!
