Full Title: Ex-Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne says he got 'fishy' orders from Peter Strzok; former acting AG unsure of claims

Overstock founder and CEO Patrick Byrne, who resigned Thursday amid ties to a government probe related to the 2016 election, claimed he received "fishy" orders from former FBI official Peter Strzok.

Byrne said Thursday on "The Story" he'd helped the federal government with investigations twice in the past, including to "help them take down people on Wall Street."

Several years after Byrne's last contact with the government, he said FBI officials reached out to him in 2016.

Breitbart is reporting that he resigned following an affair with Maria Butina

This guy is a poster child for why you shouldn’t smoke pot. He’s ruined his mind and is almost a certifiable paranoid schizophrenic. Good thing he stepped down before he destroys the company.

I believe myself that there was plenty of abuse trying to spy on Trump, but this guy is nuts.

I watched the interview last night and I gotta go with my gut instinct on this guy, which is he’s a smart wacko. Just his mannerisms and the way he talks made me believe he was not all there, and was listening to other voices only he could hear while giving the interview.

This guy is a DS plant running a last ditch operation to derail the takedown of the DS. He is full of BS.

Nope. He has been railing against it for some time.

If you look at how deep it is with Epstein..cant you imagine same with Wall Street. He has had a unique position in seeing what takes place.

The schizo-pot smoking Americans who think the republicans are destroying are delusional to the extent that those I know seem incapable of believing their fellow democratic travelers are radicals. It is too bad while a country boy can survive, were he a city boy he’d be radicalidized already which would destroy the DNC.

Message to Trump: The DNC employs a separate city and countryside-county strategy where the message seems to be reasonable to farmers but in the cities where all the power resides, the farmers think it is just a few. It only took Stalin, Pol Pot or Mao to destroy a nation.

Watched it last night and decided to let my sleep self mull it over.

I woke up 100% convinced he is CIA and had not even considered it last night. Think about it. The focus of the investigation is now the CIA. One of their assets comes out and dramatically screams it was the FBI to try and refocus heat.

His involvement with this Russian trying to replicate the 2nd Amendment for her country came at a time when the politicized FBI was trying to SOMEHOW fulfill their Muh Russians! narrative.

His loyalty was left over from when the FBI sometimes did their jobs, instead of covering for criminals, incinerating people and collecting bulging bags of gold coins, like Sheffif Knottingham.

The FBI showed Mr. Tech the same type of badges & lapel pins he once remembered from times past and he reacted the same way gun shops did in the southwest for the ATF under Obama:

“Oh! To TRACK guns after we sell them for you to narcos? Risky but, uh...if it’s all for Ole Glory, okay, den...!”

His pothead tone and distractibility is clear but there’s a factor most aren’t considering:

He has to get along in SILICON VALLEY, brimming with Deep State loving libs.

So he throws in a bit of palaver about “framing up Hillary” and other hocus-pocus he knows will play well to those viewers, but will still spark the interest of Real Americans also.

He’s walking a razor’s edge, so admittedly it does come off sounding discombobulated.

The REAL spies the FBI says are good guys so naturally they also say good people are spies:

It all coheres in this new, upside-down world we find ourselves in.
