Special counsel's Russia probe loses top FBI investigator
ABC News ^ | August 16, 2017 | MIKE LEVINE

Posted on 08/16/2017 11:49:38 AM PDT by PJ-Comix

One of the FBI's top investigators, tapped by special counsel Robert Mueller just weeks ago to help lead the probe of Russian meddling in last year's presidential election, has left Mueller’s team, sources tell ABC News.

The recent departure of FBI veteran Peter Strzok is the first known hitch in a secretive probe that by all public accounts is charging full-steam ahead. Just last week, news surfaced that Mueller's team had executed a search warrant at the Virginia home of Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort. And the week before that ABC News confirmed Mueller is now using a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., to collect documents and other evidence.

That’s the funny part of this. ABC breathlessly reports what they are doing to find evidence, but fails to mention that not have they found NOTHING, but that they have found evidence strongly supporting the fact that there is nothing here to investigate.

I suspect it’s worse than that. Peter Strzok wrote a memo last year detailing “how classified, national security information in Clinton’s emails may have been “compromised” and shared with “a foreign power or an agent of a foreign power.”

Mueller did not want someone on his “team” that might steer the direction of the investigation back towards hillary & co.

Well it’s starting to become more clear why we had our little false flag in Virginia.

I think the question is whether the transmission rate was presented as Mbps (megabits per second) or MBps (mebabytes per second).

I also seem to remember reading something about the timestamp for the files being posted in Eastern time, which would mean it was downloaded on the east coast of the U.S.

my question is did they check under Hillary’s skirt because if there is a bomb to be found it will be hidden in Hillarie’s private unmentionables along with all the other politicians and bureaucrats that are up her skirt.

Truth will always win, maybe so but will it win before too much damage is done?

Possibly so. Indeed Mr. Stzrok’s being assigned to the FBI’s Human Resources division smells to high heaven, especially since he’s been one of their champion investigators. That’s sort of like assigning General Patton to be an AA coordinator, charged with advancing the homosexual agenda.

The FBI guy thinks differently than all the lawyers involved. If he is already concerned about the situation then he needs to get out. He did a memo on the “problems”. the lawyers for Mueller are lawyers. They will do nothing and never give up billing and pushing paperwork around. If nothing is found they will still pretend they are working on something. all the dems want to get paid.

“FBI’s Human Resources division”

In the famous words of Clint Eastwood as dirty harry once apprised he was being reassigned to personnel: “Personnel, that is for A holes”.

I think the point is one does not get to pick their being assigned to a special counsel inquiry, they are told to report. If they get there and say: you mean this is all there is? and are deemed to be a loose cannon, they are reassigned to some back alley position as a warning to anyone else who may buck the trend.

IMO, there is nothing to investigate here any longer, they all know it but the attorney’s are now looking for a process crime to pin on someone. So, my continued advice to anyone who is subpeoned: State their name, address and after that say I have nothing to say or add aside from taking my protections afforded under the 5th amendment. They persist, just say KMA.

If MBps then that would make the case for me. That would be something like 200 Mbps. Not doable at that rate.

This post requires our consideration.......the more you think about it......

(HAT TIP HangThemHigh) It looks to me more like Obama tried to have the Russians hack the 2016 election. But the cunning Russians scammed Obama.....taking Obama's payoff but doing nothing.

.......I'd say H/T/H is onto something .......

(HAT TIP HangThemHigh) Obama's pathetic inaction says to me he intended the Russians to help Hillary..... hence the outrage when they did nothing. To Obama, it sure looked like the Ruskis helped Trump b/c Hillary lost, and w/ it, Obama lost his chance at a third term.

Heh...betcha the half/caste Royal Idiot is seething.

That's good. B/c he'll make some missteps and get himself nailed.

Here is the information.

‘The documents were copied on July 5th, five days before Seth Rich was murdered.

The Forensicator summarized the complex report into 10 bullet points.

The report as laid out by The Forensicator:

Based on the analysis that is detailed below, the following key findings are presented:

On 7/5/2016 at approximately 6:45 PM Eastern time, someone copied the data that eventually appears on the “NGP VAN” 7zip file (the subject of this analysis).  This 7zip file was published by a persona named Guccifer 2, two months later on September 13, 2016.

Due to the estimated speed of transfer (23 MB/s) calculated in this study, it is unlikely that this initial data transfer could have been done remotely over the Internet.

The initial copying activity was likely done from a computer system that had direct access to the data.  By “direct access” we mean that the individual who was collecting the data either had physical access to the computer where the data was stored, or the data was copied over a local high speed network (LAN).’

You got it. ‘’’Twas a thumb drive. Most likely a Seth Rich thumb drive.
