Correct, but Sessions only mentioned it during intense questioning over what he was personally getting done at the DoJ, in light of his recusal, and turns out this process started even before his term, and being IG is likely completely hands off for him. Hopefully the report can finally lead to some actual criminal investigations, since the IG inspection is not a criminal investigation, but I have little faith in Sessions based on his non-performance so far.
The rumor is that Strzog was removed from Mueller’s staff because he was a leaker, not because of his political views.
Is True Pundit (LOL) your only source for this? And the info he supposedly leaked was the story of the SWAT-ike Manafort raid, that was politically very damaging to Mueller? For what supposed purpose? Thanks!
That you don’t know Gateway Pundit, from a ‘True Pundit’, speaks volumes.

No, there are other sources both contemporaneous at the time of his transfer and currently.
August 16, 2017A top FBI investigator has unexpectedly stepped away from special counsel Mueller's Russia probe
"Strzok's departure also came one week after The Washington Post reported that Mueller had obtained a search warrant to raid the home of President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort. The Post report cited "people familiar with the search," prompting questions about whether anyone on Mueller's team had leaked the existence of the search warrant to the Post."
And the info he supposedly leaked was the story of the SWAT-ike Manafort raid, that was politically very damaging to Mueller? For what supposed purpose?
Pretty obvious. To intimidate other future subjects of interest. The leak was meant to demonstrate that the Mueller team was playing hardball and would go to any length to get at the "truth." Such actions could also spook other targets under surveillance to take actions like destroying possible incriminating evidence.
As far as being politically damaging to Mueller, there was very little outcry from the MSM about the treatment of Manafort. In fact, there were indications that Mueller was doing his job. There was very little sympathy for Manafort who was characterized as a slimeball who advocated for the Russians in Ukraine and was involved in possible money laundering. Bottom line: Manafort got what he deserved. No MSM push back on the protection of civil liberties. Instead, the MSM was gloating about the treatment of Manafort and viewed it as a sign of his guilt.
