I don't consider True Pundit to be the primary source. This rumor has been out there for some time. There are plenty of other examples where this rumor has been posited, both at the time of the transfer to HR and currently.
Apparently True Pundit remains alone in their specific assertion that a leak is why Strzok was fired from Mueller's team, unless you or others have more to add. And, this is an important distinction, as it appears others on Mueller's team may be guilty of simply sending biased messages around to associates.
I am not going to supply you with more examples that are readily available in you use Google. As someone who spent 36 years working for the federal government, I knew at the time that something was up with Strzog. HR is used as a holding tank for people who are unassignable due to personnel issues. Was it a coincidence that this occurred just a few weeks after the Manafort leak? Doubtful.
Mueller's team is stacked with partisans. If sending biased messages to colleagues was the criterion for dismissal from the team, there would probably be no one left. There had to be another reason why Strzog was sent to Siberia. The OIG inspection apparently provided some of this information on Strzog's text messages. But there is a reason why DOJ and the FBI stonewalled Congress on information about Strzog and prevented his testimony before the House intel committee. IMO there is a major investigation into Strzog's actions during the email and Russia investigations. You don't put Strzog in HR for such a long time without having significant evidence of possible wrongdoing.
A fair point, but again in my opinion it blew up in their face, in the court of public opinion, where any trial of Trump will primarily be judged. They should have known how that would be viewed, to anyone besides the most liberal partisan. You don't normally go kicking the doors in to people's homes before dawn unless you think theiy're armed and dangerous.
We will just agree to disagree. There was no public outcry about the treatment of Manafort or his indictment. In fact, it was celebrated by the MSM as a harbinger of things to come. Mad dog Weissmann is on the case.
What the media hopes the public will believe based on their slanted reporting, and what the public ultimately believes are not usually the same, see Roy Moore as Exhibit A. So we're still not finding much agreement, but thanks again for your lengthy response.
So far, the public remains on the side of the MSM. Trump's approval ratings remain consistently low. The reporting on Strzog has been minimal except for Fox. The networks are burying the story and only report what they must to appear that there is any scintilla of journalism left.
Roy Moore may emerge victorious in AL, but he will be attacked once he reaches the Senate. The Dems will try to use the allegations of pedophilia as an albatross around the Reps' necks citing Romney, Flake, McCain, etc. You are living in a bubble if you think that the public is outraged about the treatment of Manafort, Flynn, Moore etc. When you have Reps attacking them, how do you convince the public that the Dems are wrong?
A lot can happen between now and next November, but right now, the Dems have a real shot at taking the House. The Mueller investigation will have an influence. So will tax reform if the Reps can pull it off. Trump needs some wins.
So how would Mueller have known that quickly afterward that Strzok was the leaker, if that happened, since the IG is the one who supposedly found it?
Mueller's team is stacked with partisans. If sending biased messages to colleagues was the criterion for dismissal from the team, there would probably be no one left.
Exactly why the accuracy of this is so important. The goal should be to disband Mueller's team, so if we can do it based on text messages, which are likely already existing, the hanging fruit becomes lower.
There had to be another reason why Strzog was sent to Siberia.
I'm not sure of that. The currently believed story is that his firing was for these messages, not a leak. So the believability off it just being messages is high, and we want to keep it there unless there's concrete proof to the opposite.
But there is a reason why DOJ and the FBI stonewalled Congress on information about Strzog and prevented his testimony before the House intel committee.
And the answer is obvious if you weren't so committed to defending (your friends at?) the DoJ. The President was able to forcefully speak out about the double standard going back to Clinton. The crush on Mueller's credibility has been quick and severe, with multiple op-eds calling for his ouster yesterday. Of course they wanted it kept quiet.
IMO there is a major investigation into Strzog's actions during the email and Russia investigations. You don't put Strzog in HR for such a long time without having significant evidence of possible wrongdoing.
We'll see, but I clearly remain skeptical, as they are already misleading with what is going on by calling the IG audit an "investigation" when that process is clearly not an actual FBI investigation. It's an audit. Has it led to an actual investigation, before the audit is even officially over? I doubt it, since the audit isn't over, and he's still drawing a check reporting to the office. In many actual investigations against law enforcement officers, they are typically suspended and kept from workforce interactions completely.
We will just agree to disagree. There was no public outcry about the treatment of Manafort or his indictment.
You're either hanging in the wrong circles, in the D.C. bubble, or both.
So far, the public remains on the side of the MSM. Trump's approval ratings remain consistently low.
Actually a new MSM poll came out this morning showing him at 47%, and as the election showed his polls are always lower than actual.
The reporting on Strzog has been minimal except for Fox. The networks are burying the story and only report what they must to appear that there is any scintilla of journalism left.
I was actually watching CNN the day the story broke, and they actually we're all admitting how damaging this is for Mueller. It could actually prove fatal, eventually, for several in the DoJ.
Roy Moore may emerge victorious in AL, but he will be attacked once he reaches the Senate.
I'm sure he will be, by those in your bubble. Hasn't worked yet.
A lot can happen between now and next November, but right now, the Dems have a real shot at taking the House.
Exactly why I'm hot on the tail of Freepers who are trying to give the Democratic viewpoints credibility, such as how honest they believe the current DoJ is.
