-> Again. You are living in an echo chamber.
No Sir, I am living in the vast area of the flyover country, while it’s pretty obvious your views are that of someone living in the D.C. beltway bubble.
-> LOL. He is under “suspension” by being assigned to the holding tank of HR. This is what happens when you are under investigation.
Twist words all you want, but it’s impossible to have an honest, rational discussion with someone who refuses to be accurate about the legal definition of words such as “suspension” and “investigation.” It’s also the perfect indication you’ve lost your arguments.
Strzok has not been officially suspended, nor is he under actual investigation. I know as a defender of Mueller and others at the DoJ you’d like to make that impression, but we’re not that easily fooled here. He’s simply been reassigned, and there’s no evidence he’s going to ever be punished, which would be par for the course at the crooked DoJ right now.
I haven't lived in the DC area for three years. It really doesn't matter where I live or you live. When I refer to living in an echo chamber, it is about your sources of news. If you rely primarily on those sources that agree with you, then your perceptions about what is happening in reality are distorted. The general public and the MSM are not calling for Mueller's removal nor is their outrage about the Mueller investigative team. To say otherwise is just not the current reality.
I am deeply disturbed about the entire Mueller investigation along with those being conducted by Congress. It is built on a false narrative conjured up and paid for by the Dems and Hillary. We have weaponized the intel community and the government bureaucracy as a whole to take down a duly elected President of the United States. This is a threat to our democracy and I can trace it back to Obama.

Words have meanings and they are important in any discussion of the issues. Neither you nor I know what the employment status of Strzog is or whether he is the subject of an investigation. I do know from my long experience in the federal government that the removal of a senior officer who was secunded from the FBI to the Muller investigation and subsequent reassignment to HR is a clear indication that Strzog has a serious personnel issue. We don't know whether is under investigation or suspended with or without pay. We do know that he has not been returned back to his old job as No. 2 in the counterintelligence operation.
We really don't know why Strzog was removed from his position under Mueller. Until we have the official OIG report and more information, we can only speculate why. Perhaps Wray will provide some more information this morning.

You have no way of knowing that. I do know that parking Strzog in HR is a common practice in the federal government while someone is being investigated or examined for wrongdoing. The emails allegedly sent by Strzog to his girlfriend and fellow FBI employee were sent during the Trump campaign in 2016. He was only reassigned this past summer. IMO there is more to the reassignment of Strzog from the Mueller campaign than just the emails.
He’s simply been reassigned, and there’s no evidence he’s going to ever be punished, which would be par for the course at the crooked DoJ right now.
You have no way of knowing that.
Jordan reiterates what I have been saying. Strzog was removed from the Mueller team for reasons other than the text messages showing bias. If that was the criterion, then the entire staff of Mueller could be removed for similar reasons.
Jordan attributes the removal to Strzog to his connection with the Steele dossier.
Exactly why I keep hoping that's the reason why he was removed. And why you hope that's not the reason?
Jordan attributes the removal to Strzog to his connection with the Steele dossier.
Which would tie everything up in a neat little bow, as Jordan's supposition was quite compelling. But if true, it's still not the reason you were claiming he was removed, either.
Leaks or the dossier, it really doesn’t matter. The text narrative was hard to believe. It was amusing to watch Wray try to explain that the assignment to HR was not a demotion. I was yelling at Collins to ask Wray what was the title of Strzog’s job at HR. Now that would have been funny to watch.
